Google Pixel screen repair: what to know before you go

Google Pixel phones are loved for their camera โ€“ and travellers use them a lot. When the screen cracks, you want it fixed quickly and properly. Here is what to know.

Signs the screen needs replacing

  • Cracked glass, even if the image is still fine.
  • Lines, black spots or a green tint.
  • Touch not responding in parts of the screen, or ghost touches.
  • The fingerprint sensor stopped working after a drop.

The fingerprint sensor

Most recent Pixels have the fingerprint sensor under the display. After a screen replacement, the sensor has to be set up again and tested. Before the repair, remove your fingerprints in Settings โ†’ Security, and add them again afterwards. We tell you in advance what to expect for your model.

Before you hand it in

  • Back up your photos with Google Photos and your phone with Google One backup โ€“ see our backup checklist.
  • Remember your PIN or pattern: you need it to test the phone afterwards.
  • Remove the case and screen protector if they are damaged.
  • More tips: how to prepare your phone for a repair.

Repair mode on Pixel

Recent Pixels have a Repair mode (Settings โ†’ System โ†’ Repair mode). It keeps your personal data private while the phone is being tested, without erasing it. Turn it on before you hand over the phone if the screen still works.

Price and time

Every Pixel model has its own fixed price, including the part, labour and VAT, shown before we start. Your data stays on the phone, and you get a 1-year warranty on the screen we fit.
