Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement

Introduction

This repair guide was authored by the iFixit staff and hasn’t been endorsed by Google. Learn more about our repair guides here.

Follow this guide to replace the bottom speaker (aka loudspeaker) in your Google Pixel 10 Pro.

You might need to replace your bottom speaker if it sounds crackly, has static, or if there's no sound at all.

The gasket between the bottom speaker and frame offers dust and water resistance, which may be compromised depending on the age and condition of your phone.

You'll need replacement back glass adhesive to complete this repair.

Note: Any repair can compromise the water resistance of your phone. Retaining water resistance after the repair depends on how accurately the new adhesives are applied and how clean the surfaces are.

What you need

  1. Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement, Prepare your Pixel for disassembly: step 1, image 1 of 2 Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement, Prepare your Pixel for disassembly: step 1, image 2 of 2

    • Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

    • Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone's back glass is cracked, follow this step.

    • Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

    • Make sure there's a single strip (not overlapping) of tape across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit on.

    • Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

    • Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

    Edit

  3. Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement, Heat the bottom edge: step 3, image 1 of 1

    • Adhesive secures the back glass to the frame. Heating the glass softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back glass for two minutes.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the back glass.

    • Improper use of a heat gun can destroy the display and/or battery—follow the linked instructions carefully.

    • Before installing new adhesive, all the old adhesive and its residue must be completely removed from the frame.

    • Take your time during the next two steps. A clean frame allows replacement adhesive to lay totally flat, ensuring a better seal for your back glass.

    • Removing all the old adhesive can be very tricky and time‑consuming.

    • Use the point of a spudger to remove all the old screen adhesive from the frame. Try to "roll" the adhesive onto itself so it balls up, making it easier to remove.

    • If you can ball up a big enough chunk, use tweezers to slowly pull the adhesive the opposite way you were scraping with your spudger.

    • If you're having trouble removing smaller chunks, apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and scrape them up with your spudger.

    Edit

  24. Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement: step 23, image 1 of 1

    • Wrap a microfiber or lint‑free cloth around a spudger.

    • Use the spudger and high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to clean up all the remaining adhesive residue from the frame, applying more drops of alcohol as necessary.

    • Let the alcohol dry completely before continuing.

    • Before applying the back glass adhesive, make sure you know how it will sit on the frame. If you apply the adhesive incorrectly, you'll need to restart with new adhesive.

    • Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use the rear camera cutout in the liner to help visualize how it will lay in the frame.

    Edit

  27. Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement: step 26, image 1 of 1

    • Peel down the top half of the large, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't fully remove the liner yet.

    • Take your time aligning the adhesive with the frame—it's very sticky and can't be moved after you apply it.

    • With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.

    • Use the lip of the frame to help align the adhesive.

    • Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down on the top corners to secure the adhesive.

    • Slowly peel up and remove the large colored liner, gripping it from the cutout near the top edge.

    • If you're installing a new back glass, your replacement will have various protective liners and pieces of tape on the underside that must be removed. Your part may have different pieces in different locations, so make sure to check carefully!

    • Remove all liners from the underside of the back glass, paying special attention to the front camera cutouts and bottom edge.

    • Usually, you can identify the liners by their pull tabs.

    Edit

  33. Google Pixel 10 Pro Bottom Speaker Replacement, Prop up the back glass: step 32, image 1 of 1

    • Apply a suction handle to the back glass and prop it up on the left side of your phone, so the cable is near its connector.

    • Alternatively, you can use a sturdy object (such as a stack of books) to prop up the back glass.

    • For wider connectors like the back glass one, first press down on one of the short sides until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend and cause permanent damage.
