OnePlus 8 Display and Touch Screen Glass Replacement

Q: How much does replacing a broken OnePlus 8 display in India cost?

A 100% original OnePlus 8 display replacement costs around Rs 6800-7000. If you buy a first copy screen replacement, the combo costs about Rs 2500-3000 in India. The under-display fingerprint scanner and proximity sensor will not work in a duplicate folder.

Q: What are the steps to install the new OnePlus 8 display?

Installing a OnePlus 8 display is easy, but only a professional should undertake this task. In this guide, we’ll summarize the steps you should follow for installation.

1. First, turn off the phone and eject the sim tray.
2. To open the back panel, apply hot air all around it to soften the adhesive underneath.
3. Use the suction cup at the bottom to lift the back glass and create a small opening to insert the plastic card.
4. Take another plastic card and glide through the back panel’s edges to remove it.
5. Now, you’ll see the inner structure of the frame. Open all the visible screws to remove the motherboard and speaker assembly cover.
6. The broken display is connected to the bottom right of the charging PCB; please disconnect it.
7. Connect the new display to the same place and test it thoroughly.
8. Remove the broken display using a hot air gun and pry tool.
9. Clean the frame and place the new display inside it to test it again and test the fingerprint scanner.
10. When everything tests well, you can paste the display using glue.

We’ve summarized the installation steps, and you may need to do some other tasks during installation. If you want to understand the installation more comprehensively, please watch a related video on YouTube to dive deeper.

Q: Is the OnePlus 8 display replacement easily installable at home?

It would be best if you didn’t attempt to install the OnePlus 8 display at home because the phone is tough to open, and we advise caution. Being justificative is very important, and when you know about your inability to undertake the display replacement, you shouldn’t even try it. It would make much more sense to visit a local technician and pay him Rs 300-400 to install the display on your phone.

Q: Does the new display support the in-display fingerprint unlocking feature?

Yes. The original OnePlus 8 display supports the in-display fingerprint scanning and unlocking feature. Please note that a protective layer is placed on the fingerprint sensor’s rear side (back side of fingerprint sensor). When you assemble the display, you need to remove the protective film from the fingerprint sensor and then assemble the display.

Q: Is this display Super AMOLED, IPS, or TFT?

As we mentioned in the product specs, it is a 100% original Fluid AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. We don’t sell duplicate screens, often IPS or TFT quality replacements that never work like the original. If you purchase such a product, you’ve to sacrifice a lot of features of the original display, including the in-display fingerprint scanning feature.

Q: When the display is original, why is your price lower than that of the service center?

If the OnePlus 8 display’s price is high on our website, customers will ask why we sell for a higher price than the service center. When our price is low, many customers frown and ask how we can sell for a lower price when the service center charges a few grand extras. Honestly, there are no answers to such questions because everyone is different regarding margins.

In many cases, the official service center charges steep prices, for example, Rs 20k for a motherboard. If you add up the costs of their spare parts individually for a particular model, you will find that the brand new phone costs Rs 30000, and individually buying spares costs Rs 60000. So it should be clear to you who is overcharging, and that’s something you should understand yourself.

Q: What are the differences between the original and first-copy display?

The original and duplicate displays are two entirely distinct products. These are the significant differences :

1. The brightest levels of a duplicate display are 50% of the original.
2. A duplicate touchscreen digitizer works erratically and never works correctly.
3. You’ll face issues with typing, incorrect input, and other similar things, affecting your usability experience.
4. The color reproduction of a duplicate display is abnormal and never accurate.
5. The durability aspect is entirely non-existent in the fake screen replacements.

Many customers report that the duplicate display broke 15 days after installation, while the original one lasted two years without hiccups. Durability is the primary quality gap between both products and durability is the utmost deciding factor because you can’t spend 3-4 thousand rupees on a duplicate display four times a year.

All our products come with 30 days return, refund, and replacement guarantee. To return a product, It should be in the same condition we sent. You can’t use or fix the new OnePlus 8 display if you want to return it. For complete details about Shipping, Returns and Warranty, please click here.
