Previous Previous post: What to Choose for Redmi Note 6 Pro
The first question that owners of the broken Redmi Note 6 Pro ask is: to put the original display or analogue? The price difference can reach 4000 rubles, but the overpayment is not always justified.
Original Display Module (OEM) Xiaomi will cost 5,000-6,500 rubles with the work:
- 🔹 100% compatible with smartphone hardware – no problems with color calibration, touchscreen sensitivity or sensors.
- 🔹 Guarantee for module (usually 6-12 months) and work.
- 🔹 Preservation of factory characteristics: brightness of 450 nits, contrast ratio of 1000:1, support for Full HD+.
But there are pitfalls:
- ⚠️ In 2026, the original modules for the Redmi Note 6 Pro (released in 2018) are often used or refurbished – they are restored from old smartphones.
- ⚠️ Not all services work with original parts – many offer only analogues.
Copy analogues are cheaper — from 1,200 to 3,500 rubles with installation. They are divided into three categories:
- 📱 Premium copies (3000-3500) ₽) — as close to the original in quality as possible, but may have a weak brightness or less accurate color reproduction.
- 📱 Medium copies 2,000–2,800 ₽) — noticeable differences in colors, possible "dead" pixels, but touchscreen works stably.
- 📱 Budget copies (1,200–1,800) ₽) — High risk of marriage, poor sensitivity of the touch, distorted colors, often break after 3-6 months.
⚠️ Note: On the Redmi Note 6 Pro, cheap counterparts often don’t support the Sunlight Display feature. If you’re actively using your smartphone outside, it’s a big problem.

Can you replace the glass yourself? Step-by-step instructions and risks
Many users are considering self-replacement to save money, but it's possible on the Redmi Note 6 Pro, but it's extremely difficult for three reasons:
- 🔧 The display is glued to the body with double-sided tape 3M, which, when heated, becomes sticky and can damage plumes.
- 🔧 Touchscreen and matrix are connected to each other - when you try to separate the glass, there is a great risk of damaging the matrix.
- 🔧 Special equipment is required: infrared station for uniform heating, suction cups and mediators for separation of glass.

☑️ What you need to replace the glass yourself
