Even a minor crack can eventually turn into a web of faults that interfere with the use of the screen, and deep chips threaten to cut your fingers. But how much does it cost to return the phone to its original appearance? Glass replacement prices range from 1,500 to 15,000 rubles - and the difference depends not only on the model, but also on the method of repair, the quality of parts and even the region.
In this article, we will analyze the current prices of 2026 for popular lines Redmi, Poco and Mi, compare the cost in official services and private workshops, and also tell you how to save without the risk of poor-quality repairs. You will learn why replacing glass on Xiaomi 13 Ultra can cost 5 times more than on the Redmi Note 12, and what to do if after repair the screen became worse.
1.What does the cost of replacing glass on Xiaomi depend on?
The price of repairs is not a random figure, but the result of several key factors, including the smartphone model, for example, glass for the flagships of the Mi or Xiaomi 14 series will cost many times more than for the budget Redmi. A2. It's connected to:
- 🔹 Screen technology: AMOLED-displays (like on Xiaomi) 13T Pro) require more precise installation of the glass than IPS-matrices at Redmi 10C.
- 🔹 Additional sensors: In some models, fingerprint scanners are hidden under glass or 3D-Sensors (for example, in Xiaomi Mix Fold 3).
- 🔹 Popularity of the model: spare parts for rare or new smartphones (for example, Poco) F5 Pros may be more expensive due to low demand.
The second important thing is the type of glass: original Xiaomi parts cost 30 to 50 percent more than their counterparts, but they guarantee perfect sensor compatibility and scratch protection "OEM") may:
- 🚨 Exfoliate after 2-3 months due to poor quality glue.
- 🚨 Distortion of screen colors (especially on the screen) AMOLED-display).
- 🚨 Reduce sensor sensitivity (you have to press harder).
Finally, the cost depends on the method of repair:
- 🔧 Replacement of glass only (if the matrix is intact) is cheaper by 40-60%, but is not suitable for all models.
- 🔧 Replacement of the screen module + Glass is more expensive, but more reliable (used for most modern Xiaomi).
⚠️ Note: On some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 12S Ultra) glass is glued to the matrix in the factory, in which case you have to change the entire display module, even if only the exterior glass is broken.
2. Glass replacement prices in 2026: comparative table
Below is the current price list for popular Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco models. + spare part (original or quality analogue) in Moscow service centers. ±15–20%.

Important: Original parts prices for models older than 2 years (e.g. Xiaomi Mi 11 or Redmi Note 10) could rise by 20–30% due to shortages in warehouses.
If your model is not in the table, focus on the following patterns:
- 📱 Budget Redmi (A-series, 10-series): 1,500 – 4,000 ₽.

- 📱 Flagships (Xiaomi) 12/13/14, Mix): 8 000 – 25 000 ₽.
3.Official service vs private workshop: where is cheaper?
Many Xiaomi owners think that official service is always expensive, and the price difference isn’t always critical, but there are nuances.
🔹 The advantages of the official service Xiaomi:
- ✅ Work and parts warranty (usually 6-12 months).
- ✅ Original details (but not always – check it out!).
- ✅ Diagnosis before repair (free or for 500 dollars) ₽, which are included in the cost of repair).
🔹 Cons:
- ❌ Longer term (from 3 days to a week).
- ❌ Price is higher by 15-25% compared to the tested workshops.
- ❌ Not all models are repaired (for example, for Poco). F4 GT They may be denied due to lack of spare parts).
Private workshops often offer better prices, but it is important to choose a proven service.
- 🛠️ Reviews on Yandex.Maps or 2GIS (look for before/after photo").
- 🛠️ Guarantee (minimum 3 months for work).
- 🛠️ Equipment: if the master uses a heat plate to glue glass - this is a good sign.
⚠️ Some workshops offer "ultadechevy" repairs for 1,000-1,500 ₽ You'll probably get a low-quality glass without an oleophobic coating that's quickly scratched and greasy.
Example of calculation for Redmi Note 11 Pro+:
- 🏢 Official service: 7,500 ₽ (glass-glass + job).
- 🔧 Private workshop: 5,000 ₽ (quality + job).
- 🛒 Self-driving: 2,500 ₽ (glass) + 1 000 ₽ (tool) = 3 500 ₽, but risk damaging the matrix.

For models older than 3 years (for example, Redmi Note 9) the official service may refuse repairs - in this case, a private workshop remains the only option.
4.Can the glass be replaced by itself?
If you have experience in electronics repair, you can replace the glass with Xiaomi yourself, but for most users, it's a risky exercise.
Purchase glass with adhesive layer (for example, on AliExpress or in local parts stores)
Buy or borrow a heat plate (for uniform heating of the glue)
Prepare plastic blades, suction cups and alcohol for cleaning
Download the instructions for your model (the Xiaomi 13 Lite disassembly is different from the Redmi). 10A)
Allocate 3-4 hours of time and a dust-free workplace-->
The most common mistakes in self-repair:
- 🔥 Overheating of the matrix - if the temperature of the heat plate is above 80°C, the screen may fade or a “burned out” area will appear.
- 💨 Dust falling under the glass - even one mote will be visible when the screen is turned on.
- 🖐️ Trail damage – on models with camera cutouts (for example, Xiaomi Civi 3) it is easy to touch flexible cables.
If you do, here is a step-by-step guide for most models:
- Turn off the phone and remove the back cover (if it is removable).
- Heat the screen with a heat stove to 60-70°C for 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully tuck the glass with a plastic spatula, starting at the corner.
- Remove the glue residues with alcohol or a special cleaner.
- Apply a new adhesive layer to the matrix and glue the glass, evenly pressing.
- Place the phone under the press (or put a heavy book on top) for 1-2 hours.
⚠️ Note: On models with ultrasonic fingerprint scanner (e.g. Xiaomi Mi) 10T Pro) self-replacement of glass almost always leads to a broken sensor, in which case additional calibration in the service (cost - from 1,500) will be required. ₽).
💡
Before disassembly, take a picture of the location of all the plumes and screws - this will help to assemble the phone without "extra" details.
5. How to save on glass replacement without risk?
There are several legal ways to reduce the cost of repairs without sacrificing quality:
💰 Method 1: Insurance or guarantee
If your Xiaomi is guaranteed, check if it covers mechanical damage. For example, some communication salons offer an extended warranty when buying, which includes glass replacement for 500-1 500 times. ₽ (It's also worth checking:

💰 Method 2: Promotions and discounts
Many service centers offer:
- 🎁 10-20% discounts on the presentation of a check for the purchase of a phone.

Example: in official Xiaomi services sometimes there are promotions, where the replacement of glass on the Redmi Note-series costs 3,500 ₽ 5,000 ₽.
💰 Method 3: Buying used parts
On Avito or Yula you can find original screens from broken Xiaomi at a price of 2-3 times lower than the new ones.
- 🔍 Check the performance of the matrix (the seller must send a video with the test).
- 🔍 Check if the phone was in the water (oxidized contacts are a sign of potential problems).
- 🔍 Compare the serial numbers of the screen with your model (they must match).
For example, the original screen for Poco X3 Pro in the store costs 6,000 ₽, A on the secondary market can be found for 2,500-3000 ₽.

6.What to do if the screen works worse after the glass is replaced?

| The fingerprint scanner is not working. | Sensor damage or incorrect calibration | Reflash the fingerprint module (in the service) or replace the glass with the sensor |
| There were waves when you pressed it. | Glass glued with air bubbles | Re-glued glass using a vacuum press |
If problems appear immediately after the repair, immediately contact the service - under the guarantee they are obliged to eliminate defects for free. If the master refuses, demand a written refusal and contact Rospotrebnadzor or leave a complaint to the OPP (Society for Consumer Protection).

- Click 5 times on the MIUI version to activate the developer mode.
- Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
- Select a screen test and check the reaction to touch.
7. Alternatives to glass replacement: when repair is impractical
Sometimes, changing the glass costs almost half the cost of a new phone, and it's worth considering the alternatives:

- 📱 Xiaomi 12T — up to 10,000 ₽.
🔄 Option 2: Buying a used phone
On the same sites (Avito, Yula) you can find a similar model in good condition cheaper than the cost of repair.

⚠️ Warning: If there are black spots or stripes on the broken screen, this is a sign of damage to the matrix. In this case, replacing only the glass will not help - you will need a complete replacement of the display module (the cost will increase by 2-3 times).
