Phone camera glass broken - can I replace with lens protector?

Hi all,

I have a Xiaomi Poco X3 and have smashed the glasss that covers the 4 cameras on the back. Luckily the cracks are only over the wide-angle and macro camera, not the main camera, but still annoying and I'd like to fix it.

The X3 is quite a new phone so I can't find a replacement camera glass at the moment. The best I can find is an X3 camera lens protector. I am wondering if I can pull off the broken glass and stick in a lens protector until I can buy a proper replacement bit.

This is what the X3 camera glass looks like - https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/PFb7xN... (this is not a photo of my broken glass)

Anyone have any thoughts on if I should pull off the smashed glass and stick on a protector instead?

Cheers

An update for anyone who stumbles across this becuase they have smashed their camera glass.

You can now buy replacement glass. I bought this (the NFC Global Version one), and it fits perfectly https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050016...

Here's a photo (I've added a protector to it too) - https://ibb.co/r6gvFMT

Many thanks moh. It's more of a smash than a crack in one part. I don't think the windscreen glue would work for this. I have ordered a lens protector but not sure if it will stick to the plastic once I take the glass out.

How did you get on with this fix

完成的

It'a not pretty, but I removed all the glass and put in a screen protector. The screen protector didn't stick so I used some Bostik All Purpose glue to hold it in place. I didn't use the glue between the protector and the cameras - instead I put the protector in and added some blobs on top to glue it to the side of the camera recess. It will do until I can get a proper piece of glass to replace the broken one :)

How were you able to remove the smashed glass cover? I also have the same phone and also smashed the cover over the macro lens. I was think of the same solution since I couldn't find a replacement glass as of the moment.

iI turned to youtube and watched a teardown video and when the camera module was removed only the main camera was attached to the board and the other 3 were on the glass cover.

can you share the steps?

@Wasp Ligan I heated it up with a hairdryer for about 15 seconds to soften the glue and then used a set of phone repair tweezers like these ones to pull the glass out - https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OZcAAOSwg...

The glass actually has a black backing when you pull it off the camera module, so that came off too. When I pull it off, the glass splinted a lot so you can see in my picture that I have a couple of bit of glass splinter stuck on the inside of the screen protector in front of the main camera, but it doesn't get in the way of the image so I just left them there.

Like I said, it's not a pretty fix but the cameras still work fine and it will hold out until I can get a proper bit of replacement glass.
