Infinix Note 12i Display and Touch Screen Glass Combo Replacement X677

Q: How much does replacing a broken Infinix Note 12i display in India cost?

The price of a 100% original Infinix Note 12i (model number X677) display replacement is around Rs 4600-5000. We’ve quoted the original AMOLED display’s price, and it is possible to buy fake screens for around Rs 1200-1300. If you get a local display, you shouldn’t compare it with an AMOLED display’s quality because both products are different.

Q: I want to replace only the glass. Is glass replacement a good solution?

If your phone’s inner display is functional and only the touchscreen glass has scratches, you’ll surely consider replacing only the glass. Most customers first try to explore the glass replacement option and think that replacing the glass would be cheap and they can easily restore the phone to its 100% original condition. Please note that glass replacement is not what you think, but it is a cheap hack. Please also know that glass replacement is not an option if the inner display is cracked. In such a situation when the display and glass are both cracked, a display combo is the only solution.

Glass replacement is trendy primarily because it costs less, and customers try to save as much money as possible. If you replace only the glass, the resultant display’s quality will be nowhere near the original. These are some facts about glass replacement a technician will typically try to hide or tell you ambiguously.

1. 1. The new glass that replaces the broken glass is fake and easily breaks.
   2. Fake glass doesn’t have Gorilla Glass protection, so your phone’s display is more prone to future damage.
   3. A duplicate glass is rough and doesn’t allow smooth operations like the original.
   4. The original glass is thick and feels solid, while a duplicate glass is slim and doesn’t have curvy edges.
   5. After installing a duplicate glass on display, you’ll always miss how good was your original glass.
   6. Who replaces the glass doesn’t matter; you’ll never feel like the original display.
   7. It is common to have dust spots, white spots, patches, and yellow tints in the display after glass replacement.
   8. As glass replacement is manual, dust and other impurities often remain between the display and the touchscreen glass.
   9. In 80% of cases, the glass replacement will fail, and you must bear the risk.

If you ask us to summarize the glass replacement, we would say that it is possible to replace only the glass, but it is not a standard solution. Glass replacement has become popular because all technicians ask customers to replace only the glass and save money. A customer thinks that a technician is his best friend but doesn’t know that glass replacement costs Rs 100 to a technician, and they can easily charge up to Rs 1500 if the glass replacement is successful to some extent.

Q: Isn’t buying fake IPS/TFT quality screens a good idea?

You can buy duplicate screens, but we don’t sell or recommend such solutions. If you buy a duplicate display after investing 30% of the original display’s price, you’ll get the display quality in equal proportion. An original display offers 100% colors, brightness, a smooth touchscreen, and durability. All these properties are always missing from a fake screen replacement.

You can buy an IPS/TFT quality display to use your phone temporarily, but such products never work wonders. You can use the phone for a short time, and after that, the display will either stop working automatically or crack because of its fragile structure. It would be best to buy a permanent solution to the problem rather than replace the display repeatedly. Purchasing fake screen replacements is not a good idea because you must face many problems.

Q: I want to identify the original display myself. How can I do that?

In this particular case, we would ask you not to go into technical stuff. We can easily identify the original display by seeing the manufacturer log on the back side of the display, but you’ll not recognize that. The best method for you to identify the original display would be to match the appearance of your original display with our product photos. If the appearance matches 90% with your original display, then the display is original. Please note 10% dissimilarities are possible because of a different factory stamp or batch number difference.

On the other hand, All TFT/IPS screens look entirely different from the original screens in all possible aspects. If you keep one original and a copy display side by side, nothing will match except the display’s flex cable. You’ll see the display’s flex cable in the same location, and if you physically check the glass of both products, you can easily understand the difference.

Q: Is it possible to return the new display if it doesn’t work?

Yes. All screens have a checking guarantee; you can easily test the display live before assembling it. It means that before you assemble the display on your phone, you can easily test it by connecting it to your phone’s motherboard in open condition. All mobile phone technicians test the new display before assembling it on the customer’s phone. Here is a basic outline of how it works :

1. First, the mobile phone should be in open condition, and you should be able to access the motherboard.
2. Locate the old display’s connection on the motherboard and gently eject it.
3. After that, connect the new display’s connection to the motherboard and turn on the phone.
4. The new display will start working as usual, and you can easily test it to your satisfaction.

Please note that testing the display in real-time means you can verify all the aspects, and guesswork is unnecessary. Therefore, after testing the display, you can proceed with the final installation because you’ve already verified the working condition of the new display.

Q: Do you also install the display on my phone or only deliver it?

We only deliver original screens to your doorstep and don’t install them. You can easily install the display in the local market of your city, where mobile phone technicians are available in abundance. The normal installation charges are around Rs 200-300, and you can easily complete the installation. Finding the original display is tough, and installation is way easier.
