Replacement of the display on Xiaomi: prices 2026, where cheaper and how not to overpay

A broken screen on a Xiaomi smartphone is one of the most common breakdowns that can happen to anyone. The cost of replacing the display varies from 1,500 to 20,000 rubles depending on the model, type of matrix and the repair site. But how not to overpay for the service and get a quality result?

In this article, we will analyze the current prices for replacement screens for popular models Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and Black Shark in 2026, compare the cost in official service centers and private workshops, and tell you what to look for when choosing a wizard.

What depends on the price of replacing the display on Xiaomi

The cost of screen repair is not fixed, it is formed from several key factors, the main one is the model of the smartphone, for example, replacing the display on the budget Redmi 12C will cost 3-5 times less than on the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is due to the price of original parts and the complexity of disassembly.

The second important thing is the type of matrix. Modern Xiaomi are equipped with different types of screens:

  • πŸ“± IPS LCD β€” The most budget option (used at Redmi) A2, POCO C50). Replacement costs 1,500–4,000 rubles.
  • 🌈 AMOLED β€” More expensive technology with better color reproduction (installed in Xiaomi) 13T, Redmi Note 12 Pro+). The price of repairs - from 5 000 to 12 000 rubles.
  • πŸ”₯ LTPO AMOLED β€” premium screens with adaptive frequency (there is in Xiaomi 14, Black Shark 6 Pro). Replacement can cost 15 000-20 000 rubles.

The total amount is also affected by:

  • πŸ”§ Difficulty disassembling. POCO F5 The screen is glued to the body, and in Xiaomi 13 Lite – also connected to the frame, which complicates the repair.
  • πŸ› οΈ The official centers charge 20 to 30 percent more, but they guarantee it. Private workshops are cheaper, but the risk of running into poor-quality parts is higher.
  • πŸ“¦ If you crash not only the screen, but also the sensor or the plume, the price will increase by 30-50%.

⚠️ Attention: In 2026, many workshops are offering a "budget" screen replacement using unoriginal matrices from China. These displays can have worse color reproduction, lower brightness and faster failure. Original parts cost more, but last longer.

The cost of replacing the display in official service centers Xiaomi

Official Xiaomi service centers (the list can be found on the website) mi.com/ru/service) Use only original parts and provide a warranty for repairs (usually 6 However, prices are higher than in private workshops.

The table below shows the current prices for replacement display for popular models (data for June 2026):

Note that official Xiaomi services often practice diagnostics before repair (cost 500-1000 rubles). If you refuse to repair after diagnosis, this money will not be returned.

⚠️ Warning: If your smartphone is warranty-free, but the screen crashed due to your fault (fall, impact), the official service has the right to refuse free repairs.

πŸ’‘

Official service is reliable, but expensive, if you want to get a warranty and original parts, and if you want a low-end model like the Redmi 10A, it's more profitable to go to a private workshop.

Prices for screen replacement in private workshops: where cheaper

Private service centers and workshops offer a display replacement 20-40% cheaper than the official ones, but there are risks: poor-quality parts, lack of warranty or incompetent craftsmen.

  • πŸ” Look for reviews on Yandex.Maps, Google Maps or forums (for example, 4PDA). Pay attention to the latest reviews (2023-2026.).
  • πŸ“‹ Ask for a guarantee. Good workshops give a guarantee of at least 3 months. If it's not there, it's a reason to be wary.
  • πŸ’° If in one workshop the screen replacement on Redmi Note 12 costs 4,000 rubles, and in another – 2,500, most likely in the second case, using a non-original matrix.
  • πŸ› οΈ Check the type of spare part. The original screens are labeled as "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer: Cheap analogues can be called "copy" or "replica".

Prices in private workshops (Moscow and regions, 2026):

ModelCost (original)Cost (analogue)
Redmi Note 114 500 – 5 5002 800 – 3 500
POCO F4 GT9 000 – 11 0006 000 – 7 500
Xiaomi 12T Pro12 000 – 14 0008 000 – 10 000

In the regions, prices can be 10-15% lower than in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but be careful: sometimes too low a price suggests that the wizard uses used parts or screens with defects (for example, broken pixels or uneven backlighting).

πŸ’‘

Before repairing, ask the wizard to show you the new screen in operation. The original matrix should have uniform backlight, without yellowness and stains. Also make sure that the sensor responds to touch without delay.

Self-replacement of the display: is it worth the risk

If you have experience in electronics repair, you can try replacing the screen yourself, which will save you money, but it will take time and care.

  • 🟒 Lungs: Redmi 9A, POCO M4 Pro - the screen is held on clips, trains are few.
  • 🟑 Medium: Xiaomi 11 Lite NE, Redmi Note 10 Pro – you need to solder off the battery plume, the risk of damaging flexible cables.
  • πŸ”΄ Complicated: Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Black Shark 5 – screen glued to the frame, many plumes, requires a special tool.

To replace you will need:

Set of screwdrivers (cross, star, flat)

Plastic mediators for disassembling the body

Dryer or thermo-air station (to unplug the screen)

Suction cup

New screen (original or qualitative analogue)

B-7000 glue or double-sided tape for fixation

-->

The average cost of a set of tools is 1,500-3,000 rubles. The price for original screens in online stores (for example, on AliExpress or in Russian spare parts stores) starts from 2,000 rubles for budget models and reaches 15,000 for flagships.

⚠️ Warning: If you replace yourself, you lose the warranty (if it still works) and risk damaging other components of your smartphone, such as unpatching the screen, tearing the touchscreen plume or damaging the battery. If you are not confident in their abilities, it is better to turn to professionals.

What happens if you connect the cables incorrectly?
If you mix the plumes or fix them loosely, the screen may not work at all, or artifacts (strips, flicker, a broken sensor) will appear. In the worst case, you can burn the display controller, and then repair will cost 2-3 times more.

How much does it cost to replace glass (without a matrix) on Xiaomi

If your smartphone only has the security glass broken and the matrix is intact (the image is displayed but the sensor is not working or there are cracks), you can save by replacing only the glass. This is cheaper than a full replacement of the display, but not suitable for all models.

The technology of glass replacement depends on the type of screen:

  • πŸ”„ OLED-screen (AMOLED, LTPO): glass is glued to the matrix, and its replacement requires special equipment (laminator.
  • πŸ“Ί LCD-screen (IPS): The glass can be separated from the matrix without a laminator, but the process is laborious.

Examples of glass replacement prices (2026):

ModelCost (rupe)Notes
Redmi 10C2 500 – 3 500LCD can be replaced without a laminator
POCO X4 Pro4 000 – 5 500AMOLED, requires a laminator
Xiaomi 126 000 – 8 000LTPO AMOLED, high complexity

Importantly, not all workshops are going to replace only glass, especially on new models, because if you do not work properly, you can damage the matrix, and then you still have to change the entire display, so many services offer a complete replacement, even if the problem is only glass.

πŸ’‘

Replacing only glass is beneficial for budget models (like the Redmi 9 or POCO M3). For flagships (like the Xiaomi 13 Pro), it is often cheaper to replace the entire screen than risk damaging the matrix.

When repairs are not practical: comparing to buying a new phone

Sometimes it's so expensive to replace a display that it's more profitable to buy a new smartphone. To see if your Xiaomi is worth repairing, compare the cost of repairing to the price of a new or used device.

Examples of situations where repairs are not justified:

  • πŸ’Έ Cost of repair > 50% of the price of a new phone, for example, if you replace the screen with Xiaomi 11T Pro costs 15 000 rubles and a new phone can be bought for 25 000, it is better to consider the option of buying.
  • ⏳ If your smartphone was released more than 3-4 years ago (for example, Xiaomi Mi 9 or Redmi Note 7), its repair may not pay off due to obsolescence.
  • πŸ”‹ Additional problems: If there are other breakdowns in addition to the screen (dischargeable battery, broken camera), the total cost of repairs may exceed the price of a used phone in good condition.

Comparative table for popular models (prices for new phones and repairs as of June 2026):

ModelThe cost of screen repair (ruble)The price of a new phone (ruble)The price of used in good condition (ruble)Conclusion
Redmi Note 114 500 – 5 50018 000 – 20 00010 000 – 12 000Repair is more profitable than buying a new one, but the used option can be cheaper
POCO F37 000 – 9 00025 000 – 28 00014 000 – 16 000Repair is justified if the phone is otherwise in good working order.
Xiaomi 12 Pro14 000 – 16 00045 000 – 50 00025 000 – 30 000If the budget allows, it is better to consider buying a used flagship newer

If the cost of repair exceeds 70% of the price of a used phone of the same model in good condition, it is economically more profitable to sell a faulty device for spare parts and buy up to the working version.

How to save on the replacement of the display: life hacks and warnings

There are several ways to reduce screen repair costs, but not all of them are safe.

  • πŸ›’ Buying a spare part yourself, and if you find the original matrix cheaper (e.g., on AliExpress or in Chinese stores), some workshops will agree to install it for a lower fee (usually 1,000-2,000 rubles per work).
  • πŸ“’ Promotions and discounts: Official service centers sometimes hold promotions (e.g., β€œreplace the screen at 20% discount.
  • πŸ”„ Exchange for a used phone. Some workshops offer to rent out a broken Xiaomi as a payment for repairs to another device.
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Insurance: If you have insurance on your phone (e.g., through a bank when you buy it), check if it covers mechanical damage.

What not to do:

  • ❌ Chinese for 1,500 rubles for Redmi Note 10 is almost guaranteed to be defective (poor color reproduction, broken sensor areas).
  • ❌ Trust the workshops without feedback, risk running into scammers who will "fix" the phone, but in a week the screen will fall off again.
  • ❌ Use superglue instead of special glue, which can damage the matrix and make further repairs impossible.

πŸ’‘

If you drop your phone frequently, consider buying a high-security case (like the Spigen Tough Armor) or a high-strength armored glass sticker (like the Belkin UltraGlass) that is cheaper than replacing the display.

FAQ: Frequent questions about changing the screen on Xiaomi

Can I replace the screen with Xiaomi under warranty if it crashes?
No, the warranty doesn't cover mechanical damage, it only covers factory defects (e.g., if the screen itself stopped working without hitting) If you drop your phone, you'll have to pay for the repair yourself.
How long does it take to replace the display?
In official service, 1 to 7 days (depending on model and spare parts availability); in a private workshop, it is usually faster: 1-3 hours if the screen is available; complex models (such as the Xiaomi Mix Fold) can be repaired longer due to design features.
Is it true that after changing the screen, you may have problems with the sensor?
Yes, if the master has misconnected the plumes or used a poor-quality matrix, and sensor problems can also arise from dust or moisture under the screen, so to avoid this, choose a trusted workshop and demand a warranty.
Can I replace the screen with Xiaomi with AMOLED with IPS and vice versa?
Technically possible, but not recommended. Different types of screens have different connectors and backlighting options. For example, if you put an IPS instead of AMOLED, you can have problems with automatic brightness, color reproduction and even overheating. You'd better use a matrix of the same type as the original.
What if the phone doesn’t turn on after the screen is replaced?
There are several reasons for this: wrong plumes (especially the battery or display); motherboard damage when disassembling; new matrix marriage; go back to the workshop immediately β€” if there's a problem with their work, they should fix it for free; if the phone doesn't turn on after self-replacement, check for all the plumes and battery.
