Google Pixel 10 Front Camera Replacement

Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back glass for two minutes.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the back glass's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back glass and frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

The back glass is secured with adhesive around the perimeter of the frame. Use this picture as a reference while you separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Leave the pick inserted under the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from re‑sealing.

Insert a second pick under the bottom left corner and slide it up the left edge, stopping at the power button.

Before installing new adhesive, all the old adhesive and its residue must be completely removed from the frame.

If you're having trouble removing smaller chunks, apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and scrape them up with your spudger.

Wrap a microfiber or lint‑free cloth around a spudger and apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to the end.

Let the alcohol dry completely before continuing.

If you're reinstalling your original back glass, repeat the procedures in the previous two steps on the back glass to clean it.

Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use the rear camera cutout in the liner to help visualize how it will lay in the frame.

Peel down the top half of the large, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't fully remove the liner yet.

With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.
