Follow this guide to remove and replace a broken or cracked screen on the Pixel 3. This procedure is for replacement screens that are not pre-mounted onto a frame. Due to the Pixel’s design, this requires removing the motherboard in order to access to the screen connectors.
This procedure will destructively remove the Pixel 3’s screen. OLEDs cease to work when exposed to oxygen or moisture, and are thus sealed in an airtight encapsulation (this is also why OLED panels turn black underneath a screen crack). It is very difficult to replace the front glass alone— the Pixel’s OLED layers are laminated to the glass.

To change only the screen glass… Do you have to disassemble the whole phone or just steps 39 to 42?
Thanks
Hi Adrián,
The OLED is bonded to the screen glass. Unlike LCDs, trying to remove the glass only will most likely destroy the OLED screen.
How to differentiate between a pre-mounted and a non pre-mounted display? I don’t want to order the wrong part, hence the question.
The pre-mounted part will come with the frame, which is the majority of the phone body. The screen is already stuck affixed to the frame, but you would have to transfer everything else onto it. The display only part looks like a thin panel with adhesive on the back. It would look like this part.
When buying a replacement screen do I need to buy it with a frame?
