Original screen vs analogue: what is the difference and whether to overpay
The main question when replacing the display is which screen to choose: the original parts are manufactured in factories that supply components directly to Xiaomi, and analogues are released by third parties (often in China or India), the difference is not only in price, but also in characteristics:
| Parameter | Original screen | Analogue (medium quality) | Analogue (premium) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Color rendering | 100% compliance with factory settings | It could be colder/warmer | 90β95% compliance |
| Brightness | 450-500 nits | 350-400 nits | 400-450 nits |
| Touch sensitivity | Great, no delay. | There could be dead zones. | Almost as original as it was. |
| Oleophobic coating | Yes, stand. | No or weak. | Yes, but it's washing faster. |
| Sensor work | All functions (lighting, approximation) | It may not work. | It's working, but it's possible to crash. |
| Term of service | 3-5 years | 1-2 years | 2β3 years |
Paying for the original makes sense if:
- π¨ You need accurate color reproduction (for example, for photo processing)
- βοΈ You often use your phone outside (brightness and autobrightness are important)
- π You plan to use your smartphone for another 2+ year-end
- π‘οΈ You want a 6 guarantee.+ months without risk of marriage

- π± The phone is used as a "calling" or for social networks.
- π Planning to change your smartphone soon

Screen Replacement: How to Avoid Being a Victim of Fraudsters
The smartphone repair market is teeming with unscrupulous workshops that save on parts or impose unnecessary services, and here are the most common cheating schemes and how to avoid them:
- π "The original screen story: they tell you they're putting the original, but it's actually a cheap analogue. How do you check that the original screen has a Xiaomi hologram on the package and a serial number that you can check with an official dealer.
- πΈ Imposing additional services: "You also have a fast battery, let's change" or "The plume is damaged, it needs urgent repair." How to avoid: demand damage and agree on each item in the estimate.
- π± Phone swap: The workshop can change your Redmi 9T How to check: before repair, write down the refurbishment version. IMEI (*#06#) and serial number (in settings or on the box.
- β‘ "Urgent repairs for a fee: you are told that the screen can be changed in 1 hour, but you need to pay 50% for it.
- π§ Use of used screens: a second-hand display is used instead of a new one, and how to tell if the used screen has microcracks, glue marks, or scratches on the frame.
To minimize the risks:
- Read the reviews about the workshop for the last 3 months (old ones can be faked).
- Videotape the repair process (especially when the new screen is unpacked).
- Require a contract with a list of works and warranty obligations.
- Check the phone immediately after repair: test the touchscreen, camera, speakers and sensors.
β οΈ Attention: If the proximity sensor or autobrightness stopped working after the screen was replaced, you probably received a low-quality analogue.
What to do after changing the screen: check and set up
Even if the repair is successful, you need to check the quality of the work and if necessary, adjust the new display.
Check the sensitivity of the touchscreen (take the test in Settings). β The phone. β Diagnostics β Touchscreen test)|
Make sure that the light and proximity sensors are working (call someone and check if the screen goes out when you bring it to your ear)|
Set up autobrightness (Settings) β Display. β Autobrightness)|
Check the color rendering (open the white image - it should not be yellow or blue)|
Make sure there are no broken pixels (run the monochrome color test)|
Check the camera and flash (sometimes when disassembling the case, the plumes are damaged)-->
If you notice a problem,
- π Broken pixels or spots: Return to the workshop - it's a screen marriage.
- π Poor sensitivity of the touch: perhaps the plume is connected loosely or damaged.
- π Fast battery discharge: when disassembled, the battery or its plume could be damaged.
- π¨ Wrong Colors: In analog screens, this is often incorrigible, but you can try calibrating in settings.
If the repairs were done in an official service, the warranty covers all these problems, and a private workshop may refuse to fix them for free, citing "the peculiarities of analog screens." So always fix the defects immediately - it will be difficult to prove anything in a week.

For the first 2-3 days after changing the screen, avoid moisture and mechanical stress. The glue on which the display is planted does not gain strength until 48 hours.
