A broken smartphone screen is one of the most common breakdowns faced by Xiaomi owners: falling on asphalt, hitting a hard surface or even failing to place in a pocket with keys — and now on the display a web of cracks, the sensor stops responding, and sometimes the phone refuses to turn on. In this situation, the main questions are: how much will it cost to replace the screen, where is better to repair and whether it can be saved without loss of quality.
The cost of replacing the display on Xiaomi varies from 1,500 to 30,000 rubles depending on the model, type of matrix and the selected service center. Budget Redmi will cost less, while flagships like Xiaomi 14 Ultra or MIX Fold 3 will require a serious investment – sometimes up to half the cost of a new device. But don’t be too upset: in this article we will examine all the nuances of pricing, compare original and non-original parts, and also tell you how to avoid overpayments and fraud during repairs.
It's important to understand that price isn't the only choice. Installation quality, work warranty and parts, and repair speed are often just as important. For example, replacing a screen in an informal service can cost you 30 percent less, but you risk getting an uncalibrated sensor, color display problems, or even damage to the motherboard. So before you carry your phone to the first shop you find, you should weigh the pros and cons.

1. What the price of screen replacement on Xiaomi depends on
The cost of repairing a display is formed from several key factors, and understanding these nuances will help you not only assess the adequacy of prices in services, but also choose the best option without overpaying.
For example, replacing the screen with the Redmi Note 12 will cost 3,000–5,000 rubles, while for the Xiaomi 13 Pro you will have to pay 15,000–20,000 rubles.
- 🔹 AMOLED vs LCD: Organic matrices (AMOLED, E4 AMOLED) More expensive in production and repair than liquid crystal (IPS LCD). For example, a screen POCO X5 Pro (AMOLED) It will cost 30-40% more than Redmi. 10C (LCD).
- 🔹 Upgrade frequency: 120Hz or 144Hz displays (like the Black Shark 5 Pro) require more precise calibration, which increases the cost of work.
- 🔹 Additional features: Screens with built-in fingerprint scanner, 3D-sensor LTPO (Xiaomi 14 is more expensive because of the complexity of the replacement.
Part type is the second most important factor. There are three options.
- Original (OEM) screen: Manufactured in the same factory as the components for the Xiaomi assembly line, 100% compatible, but 40-60% more expensive than its counterparts.+ It will cost 8000-10 000 rubles, while the analogue - 4500-6000 rubles.
- High quality analogue (A)+): It is manufactured by third-party factories, but with the original specifications, can be bright or color reproduction by 5-10, BOE, Samsung Display (for Samsung Display) AMOLED).
- Budget-based Copy: Cheap Chinese or Korean simplified builds, often with sensor calibration problems, matrix yellowness, or short lifespan, and can be 2-3 times lower than the original, but the risks are high.
The final amount is also affected by:
- 📍 Renovation region: In Moscow and St. Petersburg, prices are 15-25% higher than in the regions. POCO F5 in the capital will cost 7 000 rubles, and in Yekaterinburg – 5 500 rubles.
- 🔧 Disassembly difficulty: In models with frameless design (for example, Xiaomi) 13T) screen replacement is complicated by adhesive tape around the perimeter, requiring special equipment for heating.
- ⚡ Urgent: Express repairs for 1-2 hours can cost 20-30% more than the standard (2-3 days).
⚠️ Note: Some services offer "universal" screens, ostensibly suitable for several Xiaomi models. In practice, this leads to problems with autobrightness, sensors or even overheating of the processor. Always check whether the part is designed specifically for your modification of the smartphone.

1.The sensor or part of the screen is not working
Reasons:
- 🔌 Poorly connected display plume (solved by re-disassembly).
- 🛠️ Damaged sensor controller on the motherboard (requires rations).
- 📱 Low-quality screen-penny (replacement with the original or analogue A)+).
How to avoid: Before paying, check the sensor response across the entire screen area (use the Touch Screen Test app).
2. Poor color reproduction or illumination
