Redmi 8 Display and Touch Screen Glass Replacement

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

The price of a 100% original Redmi 8 display replacement is around Rs 2300-2500. If you buy a first copy screen replacement, the combo costs about Rs 1100-1300 in India. A first-copy display offers half the quality offered by the original display, hence the price difference.

Q: Why should I purchase the original Redmi 8 display?

The original display offers several benefits a duplicate display never offers. You should know about these differences so that you can make an informed decision :

1. The original display offers 100% brightness levels, while a duplicate display offers only 50% at maximum levels.
2. You get accurate, vivid colors with the original display, while a copy display offers dull colors.
3. An original touchscreen is fluid and accurate, while a duplicate touchscreen lags, and you face issues while typing.
4. The original display is durable, while a fake display is short-lived.

We know that the display’s price greatly influences the customer’s buying decision, but there is no alternative to the original screens. You can get a low-cost product with less investment but not the original quality.

Q: How much would a technician charge to install the display?

You can easily find a local technician who provides display installation services. In every city/town, mobile phone repair shops charge around Rs 150-200 to install the display on your phone. The technician will remove the broken display, test the new display, and then install it. You can discuss this with a technician before ordering the product so that you don’t have to wander in the market later.

Q: How do I test and install the new display?

You can easily test and install the new display by following these steps :

1. First, turn off the phone and eject the SIM Card tray.
2. Use your nails of a wide plastic Spudger to detach the battery cover from the middle frame.
3. The fingerprint cable connects to the back panel, so please disconnect the fingerprint flex.
4. Remove all the screws from the motherboard to take off the motherboard plastic cover.

Redmi 8 is an easy-to-repair phone with a very basic structure. If you’ve the right tools, you can watch a display replacement video on YouTube and easily repair it at home.

Q: Why do other websites offer the combo at a lower price?

Please note that all displays don’t offer equal quality, and you can usually buy two types of products, original and duplicate. We offer original display replacements, and the price is high, as is the quality.

Many customers need economical solutions and prefer buying low-cost products despite bad quality. That’s why duplicate screens are easily available in the market, and you can buy them for as low as Rs 800-1000. However, their quality is very bad, and all websites that offer low-cost products offer only duplicate screens. Such products work for a short time, and then you must invest more money in a new display, and this cycle continues.

Q: How do you test the new display before shipping it?

We use a Redmi 8 motherboard to test all the screens individually and verify their working condition. Our testing department keeps a brand new Redmi 8 phone in open condition. Before shipping the display, we connect it to our phone’s motherboard, test it completely, and then ship it to the customer. We don’t ship any display to our customers before verifying its working condition.

Q: What is the source of an original display?

An original display comes from the OEM factory, which only makes original screens. These screens are expensive, but their quality is top-notch. We buy our stock from these factories, and even when their prices are high, screen replacements are 100% original. All the local displays you buy from the market are duplicates from third-party manufacturers. Such duplicate screens never offer original quality.
