The Pixel 8 Pro came out in 2023, with a 6.7 inch Super Actua LTPO OLED display and the Google Tensor G3 chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader under the display. There is a polished aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. Three cameras and a small temperature sensor beside the flash, which no other Pixel has. Flat screen, matt back.

What this fixes

The faults a rear camera repair puts right.

  • Photos are blurry and will not focusUsually the autofocus mechanism rather than the lens. It often follows a drop, even one that left no mark.
  • Haze or flare in bright lightScattered light through cracked or scratched lens glass. Very often the cover rather than the camera behind it.
  • Only the ultrawide or the zoom is badOne module of several. Cheaper than it sounds, and worth saying which when you book.
  • Something rattles when you shake the phoneDamaged stabilisation. That is a module replacement rather than a clean.
  • It focuses and then drifts out againA failing autofocus motor. It does not settle down on its own.
  • A purple or green blob in the corner of every shotLight getting in past a damaged seal, usually after a drop or a poor repair.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the camera?

Cameras are the repair where software and hardware look most alike from the outside, so it is worth checking two things before booking.

IfThe camera app is black but the front camera works
That narrows it to the rear module or its connection. Force close the app and restart the phone once first, because occasionally that is all it is.
IfPhotos are hazy but the glass looks intact
Look at the lens in a strong light for internal condensation. If there is moisture behind it this is liquid damage, and a new camera fitted into a wet phone will fog too.
IfIt started after a drop that also cracked the back
The camera glass and the rear panel may come as one part on your model. Ask us, because doing both together is often cheaper than doing them separately.
IfThe lens glass looks cracked in a raking light
That is the cover glass and not the camera. It is the cheaper of the two by a distance.
IfThe glass is clean and it still will not focus
The module itself. Replacement rather than a clean.

If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

What parts do we fit?

Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Google service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.

Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the €120 includes

    • The replacement camera module fitted and seated
    • Camera glass replaced where it is part of the assembly
    • Focus, stabilisation and every lens tested
    • 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship

    You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.

    Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.

    Choose the part

    Two tiers, named before you agree.

    Cameras are modules rather than tuned panels, so the tier gap is narrower than it is on a screen.

    iMEND Premium

    Original or manufacturer-grade part

    The manufacturer's own module. On phones that calibrate the camera to the board this is the tier least likely to produce a notice in settings.

    Priced at the counter

    Value Edition

    Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

    Made to the original specification and tested before fitting. On an older phone this is usually the sensible call.

    Priced at the counter

    The €120 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.

    Check whether it is the lens cover glass rather than the module first. That is a different and much cheaper part, and half the blurry cameras that come in here need it rather than a camera.

    The parts we use, in full

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    Free diagnostic

    Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.

    You approve the price

    You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.

    The repair is carried out

    It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.

    Bench testing

    The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.

    Back in your hands

    Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

    Before it goes back

    What we test every time.

    A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

    Every lens

    Wide, ultra wide and telephoto where fitted, because replacing one can disturb the others.

    Autofocus

    Close up and at distance, which is where a failing focus motor shows and a still photo of a wall does not.

    Flash and torch

    Both sit in the same assembly and both get disturbed during the job.

    Flash and torch

    Both run through the same assembly on most phones.

    Is anything on the device at risk?

    Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.

    Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.

    Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.

    Will it still survive a splash?

    After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.

    The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.

    We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.

    If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.

    The 360-day warranty

    Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.

    What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.

    No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.

    Three ways to get it to us

    • Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
    • We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
    • Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.

    Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

    Asked all the time

    Pixel 8 Pro screen questions.

    €120, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.

    Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

    Often yes, and it is much cheaper than the module. On some models the glass is part of the rear panel and on others it is separate, so tell us which lens and we will tell you which job it is before you book.

    Where a genuine manufacturer module is available for your model we fit that, and it behaves exactly as it did. Where it is not, a premium aftermarket module is very close, and we say which one is going in before you agree to it.

    It can be. Focus motors fail on their own, and moisture gets behind a lens without the phone ever being submerged. It is worth a free diagnostic before you pay for a part.

    Look at the glass over the lens in bright light at an angle. Cracks and deep scratches show clearly, and where they are there that is almost always the cause. The two are different parts at different prices and we confirm which before ordering.

    Often yes, because a camera module is one of the cheaper parts in a phone. We will tell you honestly where it is not.

    iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.

    Why bring it here

    An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

    We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

    Diagnosed, not guessed

    Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.

    Parts that last

    Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.

    Your data stays yours

    Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.

    No fix, no fee

    If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.

    Bought a phone at imend, Drumcondra, near DCU. What could have been a difficult experience for an untechical minded person like myself was made so easy by the very helpful staff member who ensured my phone was up and running smoothly with everything working well before I left the shop.
