What you need

  1. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Outer Screen Replacement, Prepare your phone for disassembly: step 1, image 1 of 1

    • Let your phone's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables from your phone and completely power it down.

    • Apply a suction cup to the screen, as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • If your screen is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the screen.

    • During the next three steps, don't insert your opening pick deeper than 3 mm to prevent damaging internal components.

    • Optionally, you can measure and mark your opening pick at 3 mm to help you visualize the length.

    • Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner and up the right edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.

    • Don't fully remove the screen yet, as it's still connected to the phone by a cable.

    • At this point, the screen should be free from the frame. If there's still resistance around the edges, use an opening pick to separate any remaining adhesive.

    • Lift the left edge of the screen and swing it over the right edge of the phone, like opening a book.

    • Prop up the screen with your suction handle or a clean, sturdy object.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold uses Torx Plus screws, standard Torx bits also work. Use the same size or one size larger (T3 or T4 Torx bits with 3IP Torx Plus screws) and apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping.

    • Use a Torx Plus 3IP driver to remove the three screws securing the display cable bracket:

    • One 1.8 mm‑long screw

    • Two 2.5 mm‑long screws
