A broken screen on a Xiaomi smartphone is one of the most common problems that owners face. Even a minor crack can eventually lead to a complete sensor failure, broken pixels, or incorrect display performance. But how much will you pay for repairs? The cost of replacing the screen depends on the phone model, the type of matrix, the region, and even the service center chosen.
In this article, we will analyze the current prices for replacement displays for popular models Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO in 2026, compare the cost of original and non-original parts, and tell you where it is more profitable to repair – in official service, a private workshop or on your own.
What the cost of replacing the screen on Xiaomi depends on
The price of repair of the display is not fixed - it is formed from several key factors. First, this is the model of the smartphone: the screen for the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra will cost many times more than for the budget Redmi. 12C. Second, the type of matrix — AMOLED-displays IPS, Modules with a high refresh rate (120 Hz and above) are even more expensive.
Equally important is the manufacturer of the spare parts:
- 🔹 Original screens – come directly from Xiaomi or its official partners, guarantee 100% compatibility, but cost 30-70% more than their counterparts.
- 🔹 OEM-parts are manufactured in the same factories as the originals, but sold without branding, the quality is almost identical, and the price is lower by 20-30%.
- 🔹 Replicas are cheap third-party replicas, can have worse color reproduction, less brightness, or sensor problems, saves up to 50 percent, but the risk of marriage is high.
The total cost is also affected by the complexity of repairs, such as in frameless models (such as the Xiaomi 13T), the screen is glued to the body, and its replacement requires special equipment for heating and separation. In older devices (such as the Redmi Note 8), the display is mounted on the latches, which simplifies the process.

Important: Original screen prices for new models (released less than a year ago) can be overpriced due to a shortage of spare parts in the market.For example, for Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the first months after release, the cost of the display can reach 40 000 ₽, But after six months, it usually drops by 20-30%.
If your model is not listed in the table, focus on the class of the device:

- 📱 Mid-size segment (Redmi Note) 12/13, POCO F5) — 10 000 – 18 000 ₽.
- 📱 Budget models (Redmi) 10A, POCO M5) — 4 000 – 8 000 ₽.
💡
Before repairing, check if your smartphone is under warranty. Even if the screen is broken by your fault, some service centers may offer a discount on warranty parts.
Official service vs private workshop: where cheaper and more reliable
Choosing between an official Xiaomi service and a private workshop is always a compromise between price, quality and warranties.
Official Xiaomi Service Center:
- ✅ Only original parts with warranty are used (usually 6-12 months).
- ✅ Quality diagnostics – masters will check not only the screen, but also the accompanying elements (tails, battery).
- ✅ Preservation of the factory warranty (if it is still valid).
- ❌ Prices are 20-40% higher than in private workshops.
- ❌ Queues – repairs can take 3 to 7 days.
Private workshops:
- ✅ Cost is lower by 30-50% due to use OEM-spare parts.
- ✅ Fast repairs – often “here and now” (1–2 hours).
- ✅ Flexibility – it is possible to agree on the replacement of individual components (for example, only the sensor, if the matrix is intact).
- ❌ The risk of running into poor quality parts or unscrupulous masters.
- ❌ The warranty is usually given only for work (1-3 months), but not for spare parts.
Where is the best repair? If your smartphone is expensive (from 30 000) ₽) Or you value reliability, choose an official service. For budget models (Redmi 10, POCO M4) It is more reasonable to save money and contact a trusted private workshop. The main thing is to check the reviews about the workshop on Yandex.Maps or 2GIS and ask to show the spare part before installation.
💡
If the master refuses to show the screen before installation or does not give a guarantee even for work, it is a reason to be wary, 90% of the time it is a sign of using cheap replicas.
Replacing the screen: is it worth the risk?
Replacing the screen on Xiaomi is technically possible, but it requires experience, special tools and patience.
The advantages of self-replacement:
- 💰 Savings of up to 50-70% (you only pay for parts).
- 🛠️ Complete control of the process – choose a quality detail and monitor each operation.
- 📅 No queues - repairs at a convenient time.
Cons and risks:
- ⚠️ Damage to other components - with careless analysis, you can tear plumes, damage the battery or motherboard.
- ⚠️ Loss of tightness - if you install seals incorrectly, dust and moisture will fall under the screen.
- ⚠️ Sensor problems – even the original screen may not work properly if it is not connected correctly.
- ⚠️ No warranty – if something goes wrong, you’ll have to pay for a re-repair.
If you decide to replace yourself, prepare in advance:
Buy the original or OEM-Part (check compatibility with the model)
Buy a set of tools: plastic blades, tweezers, sucker, dryer for heating glue
Download the disassembly manual for your model (e.g. on iFixit)
Prepare the workplace: clean desk, good lighting, antistatic mat
Remove the battery before work (risk of short circuit!)
-->
For beginners, we recommend starting with budget models (Redmi 9A, POCO C31), where the screen is mounted on latches, not glue. Flagships (Xiaomi 13, Mix 4) are better not to be disassembled without experience - there is a high risk of damage to the cooling system or cameras.
What if the screen doesn’t work after replacement?
Hidden costs: what else can impose payment in the service
When you change the screen, there are often “extra work” that you have to pay more than the agreed amount, so to avoid falling into the trap, specify in advance what is included in the base cost and what you will have to pay for.
Typical “hidden” expenses:
- 🔧 Replacement of glue/sealer – an average of 500-1 500 ₽. Necessary for tightness, but some services include it in the default price.
- 🔋 Diagnosis of the battery - 300-800 ₽. Masters may insist on checking the battery, citing the “prevention».
- 🔄 Data transfer - up to 2,000 ₽. If after changing the screen the phone requires a reset, the service may offer to save your files for a fee.
- 🛡️ Protective glass/film – 300–1,500 ₽. Often imposed as a "must-have" accessory.
- 🔌 Cleaning of connectors - 500-1000 ₽. Sometimes offer a “preventive” dust cleaning.
⚠️ Warning: If the wizard says "must replace the touchscreen plume" or "sweat the contacts," ask for damages. In 30% of cases, this is Attempt to deceive customers into paying for unnecessary repairs.
To avoid unexpected expenses:
- Ask for a preliminary estimate indicating all the work.
- Take a photo of the phone before repair – this will help prove that new damage was caused by the master.
- Check whether the work and spare parts are guaranteed separately.
When screen replacement is not feasible: alternative solutions
Sometimes screen repairs are so expensive that it's easier to buy a new phone, like replacing the display with Xiaomi. 11T Pros can cost 18,000 to 22,000 ₽, Whereas used device of the same model on Avito sold for 25 000-30,000 ₽. In such cases, alternatives should be considered:
