The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro use different OLED panels: the 7 is flat, while the 7 Pro is curved with a higher 120 Hz refresh rate. A Google Pixel 7 screen replacement is a simple flat-panel job, and the 7 Pro is a curved-panel repair that needs more care. Digi4u stocks tested screens for both models.

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro panel differences
The Pixel 7 uses a 6.3-inch flat OLED with a 90 Hz refresh rate, while the 7 Pro uses a 6.7-inch curved OLED with a 120 Hz LTPO panel. The two models share no screen parts, so confirm the exact model before ordering.
| Model | Display | Repair note |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel 7 | 6.3″ OLED, flat, 90 Hz | Simple flat-panel fitting |
| Pixel 7 Pro | 6.7″ OLED, curved, 120 Hz | Curved panel, more care |
The 7 Pro’s curved panel is the higher-risk repair: the panel is thin, the curve is fragile, and seating it evenly matters to avoid light bleed. The 120 Hz LTPO panel must support the refresh rate to work correctly.
Common Pixel 7 and 7 Pro screen faults
The most common faults are cracked glass, lines or blotches after a drop, touch failure, and burn-in on heavily used panels. The curved 7 Pro cracks at the edges, while the flat 7 cracks at the corners.
Lines and blotches point to panel damage, while burn-in shows as ghost images on grey screens. Rule out water damage before ordering and test in safe mode. On the 7 Pro, check the 120 Hz refresh behaviour after fitting, because a wrong panel will not drive it correctly.
Pixel 7 screen repair differences
The Pixel 7 is a clean flat-panel repair, and the 7 Pro adds the curved-panel fitting challenge plus the LTPO refresh requirement. Both models share the punch-hole camera transfer and the under-display fingerprint sensor test.
The opening sequence is the same for both: heat the back glass, release the adhesive, disconnect the battery first, then release the display flexes. The difference is the fitting risk on the curve and the panel compatibility for 120 Hz.
Post-repair testing checklist
Test touch across the full screen, brightness, the punch-hole camera, the fingerprint sensor, the earpiece, the proximity sensor and the microphones. On the 7 Pro, check the curved edges for touch response and light bleed, and confirm the 120 Hz refresh feels smooth.
Run the full test while the phone is open. If the fingerprint sensor fails, the flex is not seated or the panel is incompatible. If the refresh rate is wrong on the 7 Pro, the panel does not support 120 Hz.
The standard process
The standard screen replacement opens from the rear: isolate the battery first, release the assembly, fit the new part and test before resealing.
The full tool list is in the screen repair tools and preparation guide, and the opening technique is covered in the safe phone opening guide. The model-specific risks for this phone are covered above.
Digi4u workshop notes
The Pixel 7 pair is the flat-versus-curved lesson on Google’s side: the 7 is a clean flat repair, and the 7 Pro rewards patience on the curve. Our rule is the same for both ¡ª transfer the punch-hole camera carefully, test the fingerprint sensor, and check the refresh rate on the Pro before sealing.

Conclusion
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are different repairs: a flat OLED job and a curved 120 Hz job. Match the panel to the exact model, test the fingerprint sensor and the refresh rate, and check the battery with the quote. Shops can order Pixel 7 and 7 Pro screens from Digi4u.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pixel 7 Pro use a curved screen?
Yes. The 7 Pro uses a curved 120 Hz LTPO OLED panel, while the Pixel 7 uses a flat 90 Hz OLED panel.
Can I use a Pixel 7 screen on a Pixel 7 Pro?
No. The two models use different panel sizes, curves and connectors, so the parts are not interchangeable.
Why is my Pixel 7 Pro screen not running at 120 Hz?
The replacement panel may not support 120 Hz. Confirm the panel type supports the refresh rate before fitting.
