In this article, we will analyze the current prices for replacement displays for popular lines Redmi, Poco and Mi, compare the cost in official services and private workshops, and tell you what hidden costs can arise during repairs.

1.What is the price of a Xiaomi screen replacement?
The cost of repairing the display is formed from several key factors, the main one is the smartphone model. For example, the screen for the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra with AMOLED-matrix and refresh rate of 120 Hz will cost many times more than for a budget Redmi A2 with IPS-display.
- 📱 New flagships (Mi, Mix) to repair more expensive than the old models of Redmi 2019-2020.
- 🔧 Type of matrix: AMOLED (in flagships) 2-3 times more expensive IPS (budgetary).
- 🛠️ Disassembly difficulty: Some models (e.g. Poco) F5) The screen is glued to the frame, which complicates the replacement.
- 📦 Original part: the original display from Xiaomi is 30-50% more expensive than the Chinese counterpart.
- 🏢 Repair site: Official service takes 20-40% more than a private workshop, but gives a guarantee.
Another important aspect is the screen configuration, with some models assembling the touchscreen and frame (called display assembly), while others are separate, such as the Redmi Note 11 Pro, which often sells only touchscreen without a matrix, which is cheaper but requires more complex repairs.
⚠️ If the master offers to replace the screen on Xiaomi cheaper than 1,500 rubles - this is a reason to be wary. Most likely, you will install a low-quality copy that will last for a couple of months.

- ✅ Original displays with factory color calibration.
- ✅ Diagnosis before repair (sometimes free).
- ❌ Prices are 20-40% higher than in private workshops.
- ❌ Long term repair (from 3 days to a week).
🔹 Private workshop
- ✅ Prices are lower by 30-50% (especially if you use analogue parts).
- ✅ Quick repairs (often in 1-2 hours).
- ✅ Opportunity to negotiate a discount or free diagnosis.
- ❌ The risk of running into poor quality parts or unqualified craftsmen.
- ❌ The guarantee is not always given (or only for work, but not for spare parts).
If your smartphone is warranty, be sure to contact the official service - self-repair will void the warranty. For models older than 2 years, a private workshop may be more profitable, but only if you are confident in its reputation.

Before repair, check the reviews about the workshop on Yandex.Maps or 2GIS. Pay attention to the before/after photos - they will help to assess the quality of work.

6.What to do if the screen is not working properly after replacement?
Even after a professional repair, problems can arise: flickering, a broken touchscreen, broken pixels or improper color reproduction.
