Guide to replace the front facing camera for the OnePlus 6
If you have spots on your Selfies, the camera app shows an error or the pictures are blurred, then your front camera may be defective. How you can replace the OnePlus 6 yourself is shown in this guide.
The repair is a bit more difficult because the OnePlus 6 has to be opened via the glass back cover.
Run a data backup before the repair, use a clean work surface and take enough time. If you have questions, use the live chat on our website or write a comment.
