Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold inner display replacement costs more than a new flagship smartphone | Tech Tips

Internal components and repair parts of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (review) are now available for purchase. These replacement components come at a steep cost, especially the internal display, which shows the complexity of the phone’s design. 

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s display is quite pricey

• iFixit now lists all the repair parts for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold on its website, and some of these components carry an insane price tag. 
• Replacing the inner display costs a whopping $1,199 (approx. Rs 99,900), which is more expensive than buying a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max or Pixel 9 Pro XL in the USA.

• In comparison, the original Pixel Fold’s inner screen replacement is priced at $899 (approx. Rs 74,900).
• The inner display is a crucial component, as it includes the metal frame and hinge that hold the foldable device together.
• The repair process is quite complex, with iFixit’s guide detailing 199 steps and estimating around 3-4 hours for assembly, which may justify its flagship-level cost.
• The outer display of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is priced at $189.99 (approx. Rs 15,800), a $30 increase from the previous generation model.
• The rear camera module is also pricier at $256.99 (approx. Rs 21,300), up from $139.99 (approx. Rs 11,600) in the earlier version.
• On the other hand, some parts are more reasonably priced, such as the charging assembly at $59.99 (approx. Rs 4,900) and both the base and flip batteries at $66.99 (approx. Rs 5,500) each
• The high cost of repairing the inner display might discourage buyers from opting for repairs and could push them towards getting a brand-new flagship device instead.
• For any potential Pixel 9 Pro Fold buyers, it’s highly recommended to opt for an insurance plan for your device and be extra cautious to avoid damaging the inner display.
