Cracked back glass

I have a crack in the rear glass panel, I need to get it replaced. Does anyone know how much it costs, just a rough estimate.

Around 20-30 us dollars

Here's the guide

But it would be better to send it the authorised technician at a local Sony Xperia Center near you.

I was told that the replacement cost would be around INR 3200/- (Approx 50 US dollars) at the sony care center. I really doubt it costs that much.

@gautamoc

with the increasing world economics(it is bad) and also the technician's pay check. I would say 50 us dollars is pretty reasonable.

If your phone is still under warranty then you could negotiate with the customer service and cut the price lower.

Sending your phone to an unauthorised repairman or you repair it by yourself might void the warranty 😕

I guess the price is reasonable....
Coz Xperia Z2 is a premium and expensive phone...
So parts of it will also expensive...
Even one flap of the Xperia Z costs 700rs...
