It is very difficult to replace the front glass alone— the Pixel’s OLED layers are laminated to the glass, and the screen will come out as one unit. | | '''***Caution:'''*** Google warns that disassembly of the front laser assembly could result in hazardous exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions.
