Repair parts Google Pixel 9
Receive it on monday 02 de november
In this category, you’ll find spare parts for the Google Pixel 9, unveiled in August 2024: the 6.3-inch model with two rear cameras and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the screen. Before choosing a part, check that your phone is not a Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9a. They share a name and some features, but most of their components are different. Below, we explain what each available spare part offers and what to check before ordering.
Google Pixel 9: G2YBB, GUR25 and G1B60 model codes, and how to tell it apart from the Pixel 9 Pro
The Pixel 9 is sold under three model numbers depending on the region: G2YBB, GUR25 and G1B60. All three refer to the same device, and Google spare parts for this model are listed as compatible with each of them. To check yours, go to Settings, open About phone and tap Regulatory labels: the code is shown at the top.
The most common confusion is with the Pixel 9 Pro, which is the same size and looks almost identical. The difference is on the back: the Pro has a telephoto lens in the camera bar, while the Pixel 9 has only two sensors. On the front, the Pro has a higher-resolution screen, so screens and rear covers are not interchangeable between the two.
The Pixel 9 has a 1080 x 2424 Actua OLED panel with an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint reader
As standard, the Google Pixel 9 comes with a 6.3-inch Actua OLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2424, an adaptive refresh rate of 60 to 120 Hz and peak brightness of up to 2700 nits. Underneath is a Qualcomm 3D Sonic Gen 2 ultrasonic fingerprint reader, which replaced the optical reader used in previous Pixel generations. In the screen assembly supplied by Google, the reader is integrated into the part itself.
This means that replacing the complete screen also replaces the fingerprint sensor, so the quality of the replacement affects unlocking as well as image quality. The complete screen for Google Pixel 9 is currently available in Original quality, the highest grade on the market. Before ordering, check the model code: the Pixel 9 Pro uses a 1280 x 2856 Super Actua LTPO panel that is not compatible with the Pixel 9, even though they are the same size.
4700 mAh and GVYZ7 part number: the Pixel 9 battery fits tightly in the chassis
The Google Pixel 9 battery has a capacity of 4700 mAh and the part number is GVYZ7, the code printed on the cell to help you check that you are ordering the correct part. The 4700 mAh battery compatible with Google Pixel 9 is currently available in Premium quality, a compatible option that is usually more affordable than the Google part.
Removal is the tricky part of this model. Google includes a pull tab, but on the Pixel 9 series the adhesive is so strong that teardown guides and repair shops agree the tab often breaks, meaning you need isopropyl alcohol to loosen the cell. If you’re a repair professional, allow for this extra time in your quote and have new adhesive ready for reassembly.
Four original colours and an integrated camera bar on the Pixel 9 rear cover
The back of the Pixel 9 is made from Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and secured to the frame with perimeter adhesive. It is removed using heat and a suction cup, as it is not screwed in place. The complete rear cover with camera frame for Pixel 9 comes with the camera bar frame already fitted, which is useful if the impact has damaged that area too. It is available in the four colours in which the model was sold:
- Obsidian
- Peony
- Porcelain
- Wintergreen
The available quality is Premium, compatible with Google Pixel 9. Bear in mind that the camera cut-out is designed for two sensors, so it will not fit a 9 Pro.
From the 48 MP module to the USB-C connector: other Pixel 9 components
No telephoto lens: the Pixel 9 combines a 50 MP sensor with a 48 MP sensor
The Pixel 9 has a 50 MP main camera and a 48 MP ultra-wide camera. The 48 MP ultra-wide camera for Pixel 9, currently available in Original quality, replaces only that ultra-wide module, so check first that the issue is limited to that camera. If the sensor works correctly and only the outer glass is damaged, the rear camera lens compatible with Google Pixel 9 is all you need. It is currently available in OEM quality and is the most affordable option in this group.
A dedicated flash flex cable for the Pixel 9
The flash and sensor flex cable for Google Pixel 9, currently available in Original quality, is the part to look for when the flash does not respond but the cameras still work. As this part is exclusive to this model, check your code before placing an order.
A single charging connector listed for Pixel 9 and Pixel 9a
The USB-C charging port for Pixel 9 and Pixel 9a is sold as compatible with both models, which is useful if your repair shop works on both. Its current quality is Original. This part is not listed as compatible with the Pixel 9 Pro.
Fingerprint reader, IP68 and battery health: common questions about repairing a Google Pixel 9
Can I fit a Pixel 9 Pro screen to my Pixel 9?
No. Although both are 6.3 inches, the Pro uses a 1280 x 2856 LTPO panel, while the Pixel 9 uses a 1080 x 2424 panel. Always order a screen intended for G2YBB, GUR25 or G1B60.
Do I need to buy the fingerprint reader separately?
In Google’s screen assembly, the ultrasonic reader is integrated into the part, so it is replaced along with it. Check the product details to confirm what is included with the unit you are buying.
Will my Pixel 9 still be IP68-rated after repair?
The factory IP68 protection depends on the screen and rear cover adhesives. Once the phone has been opened, its water resistance is no longer guaranteed, even if new adhesive is applied.
How can I tell if the battery needs replacing without opening the phone?
With Android 16, the Pixel 9 has a battery health page showing the estimated capacity compared with a new cell. This is a useful guide when deciding whether a replacement is worthwhile; the Pixel 8, for example, does not have this feature.
