Phone Screen Replacement Cost: Complete Guide for iPhone & Android
6 min read
Mon–Sat 10 AM–7 PM · Sun 12–6 PMPhone screen replacement cost depends on your phone model, the screen technology (LCD is cheaper than OLED or AMOLED), whether only the glass or the whole display is damaged, and where you get it done. iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones cost the most to re-screen; Motorola and OnePlus the least.
Dropping your phone and seeing the crack is one of the most frustrating tech problems. If you are in Miramar searching for screen repair near me, it helps to know why prices vary and what to expect. This guide covers the key factors, how the brands compare, and ten ways to save.
5 Key factors affecting phone screen replacement cost
Your model, the screen type, where you get it repaired, part availability, and your coverage each shape the final price. Here is each one.
Phone Model:
Not every device is built the same. New iPhones and Galaxy phones use advanced, expensive displays; older or budget models are simpler and cheaper to fix. For what moves the number on any phone, see how much it costs to fix a phone screen.
Screen Type:
OLED and AMOLED screens cost more to replace because the panel itself is more expensive. Many mid-range and older phones use LCD screens, which are easier to source and cheaper to replace.
Where You Get It Repaired:
An Apple or Samsung store charges more because it uses official parts under fixed pricing. A local shop does the same repair for less, with a choice of part grade, and usually the same day.
Repair Location & Parts Availability:
Labor rates differ by city, and parts availability matters just as much: when the screen is in stock you get same-day service, and when it has to be ordered the repair takes longer. Some shops offer aftermarket screens that cost less but may not last as long as OEM-grade.
Warranty or Insurance Coverage:
AppleCare+, Samsung Care+ or a carrier plan reduce a screen replacement to a service fee. Without coverage, you pay the full parts-and-labor price.
Average: How much does it cost to get an Android phone screen fixed
Android screen prices follow the brand and the display: Samsung flagships at the top, Pixel and OnePlus in the middle, Motorola, Xiaomi and Oppo at the bottom. Brand by brand:
Samsung Galaxy screen repair costs
The Galaxy A series is the entry point. The S23 Ultra and the S24 series sit at the top because of their curved AMOLED panels, and Samsung’s official service is the most expensive route for each model. Older and budget Galaxy screens are far more affordable than the newest flagships.
Google Pixel Screen Replacement Cost
Older Pixels such as the 4 and 5 are affordable. The Pixel 6 and 7 series cost more because of their OLED displays, and the newest Pixel generations are expected to run higher still.
OnePlus Screen Repair Cost
OnePlus screens are generally cheaper than Samsung or Pixel. The OnePlus 8 and 9 are the affordable end; the 11 and 12 cost more because of their larger OLED panels, but still less than most other Android flagships.
Other Popular Android Brands
Motorola, Xiaomi and Oppo are usually the cheapest to re-screen because their displays are easy to find. The exception is a brand that is new or rare, where the part has to be ordered and the cost and wait go up. Check the price for your brand before you commit.
How much does it cost to fix a cracked iPhone screen?
It depends on the model and where you go. Older iPhones are cheaper to fix; newer ones with OLED or Super Retina XDR displays cost more; and Apple’s own pricing is higher than an independent shop’s. Within Apple’s price list the order is consistent: the XR and 11 are the lowest, the standard 12 through 16 sit in the middle, the Plus and Pro models step up, and the Pro Max models top the list; with AppleCare+ every model becomes the same small service fee. Our iPhone repair in Miramar handles all of these over the counter.
10 Best Tips to Save Money on Phone Repair
Coverage and part choice are the two big levers; the rest are habits:
- Check your plan first — AppleCare+, Samsung Care+ or carrier insurance can cut the bill to a service fee.
- Get a written quote that covers parts, labor and tax, so there are no surprises.
- Compare 2–3 shops; some will match a lower quote.
- Ask which screen they use — OEM-grade looks closest to new; a good aftermarket screen costs less.
- Confirm the warranty on the part and the work, and how long it runs.
- Fix small cracks early before they become a full display replacement.
- Pick the right service — same-day over the counter is fastest; mail-in can be cheaper if you can wait.
- Ask about discounts for students, teachers or military.
- Ask if parts are in stock — how long a screen repair takes depends on it.
- Protect it after the fix with tempered glass and a sturdy case.
