Typical damage to the Pixel 4 back glass
- Glass back shows spider cracks after a drop onto a hard floor
- Splinters come loose from the back cover, sharp edges become an injury risk
- Wireless charging no longer works reliably or cuts out regularly
- Soft-touch coating flakes off along the cracks and feels rough
- Dirt, skin grease or water enter through the cracks — IP68 protection lost
- Soli radar area at the top no longer detects gestures properly or shows malfunctions
The Pixel 4 has a glass back with that velvety soft-touch coating that Google used exclusively for the Pixel 4 generation. That is exactly why every break stands out immediately — the coating effect is lost in the cracked area, and the device looks destroyed. You can find more repair options on our Pixel 4 repair overview.
How the Pixel 4 back glass swap works
-
Appointment and pickup in Vienna
You book a time window online — we collect the Pixel 4 with the pickup service directly from you. From the rest of Austria the device comes to us by post.
-
Visual inspection and Soli radar diagnosis
We check whether only the glass is cracked or whether the Soli radar and Motion Sense sensors were also damaged. If the radar is damaged you get a separate diagnosis. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair.
-
Loosen back cover and fit new back glass
With controlled heat we loosen the adhesive bond of the old back. Splinters are removed completely, then the new glass with soft-touch coating is fitted — the IP68 seal is renewed in the process.
-
Function test and return
We test wireless charging, Soli radar detection, Face Unlock and the camera alignment. Only when everything runs cleanly does the Pixel 4 go back to you with 6 months warranty.
Important on the Pixel 4: the Soli radar sensor sits in the upper part of the back. We work especially carefully in this area — this is a Pixel 4 peculiarity that no longer exists on later Pixel models.
Repair the Pixel 4 back glass or buy a new Pixel?
For EUR 89 you get the glass back with its soft-touch look restored, without sharp splinters and without open cracks. A new Pixel 8a starts at around EUR 549 — and there it has neither Soli radar nor Motion Sense. That is exactly what makes the Pixel 4 a collector's item for many users: it was the last Pixel with radar-based gesture and face recognition. A clean repair preserves this character.
- EUR 89 fixed price — everything included
- Soft-touch coating and IP68 sealed again
- Soli radar and Motion Sense remain functional
- Data, apps and setup remain untouched
- Ready in 2–3 hours, 6 months warranty
- Pixel 8a from around EUR 549 — more than four times as much
- No more Soli radar, no more Motion Sense
- Re-setup of accounts, apps and 2FA
- Collector value of the Pixel 4 is lost
If, besides the back, other components also appear damaged — display, battery or charging port — we diagnose this together and propose a complete package.
Which back glass does Reparo fit in the Pixel 4?
Glass back with soft-touch coating for the Pixel 4 — original exact-fit, wireless charging fully compatible. The component recreates the typical velvety Pixel 4 feel and sits cleanly under the Soli radar and camera. The adhesive bond is renewed with factory-fresh tape, so the IP68 sealing is reliably restored. All parts come with 6 months warranty.
Pixel 4 back glass repair Vienna — costs and Pixel 4 specifics
The Pixel 4 was released in October 2019 and is an oddity within the Pixel family. At the time Google opted for a matte glass back with soft-touch coating — a velvety finish you no longer find on any other Pixel. In drops, the infamous spider cracks often appear precisely because the glass does not shatter on impact but tears in fine lines. Visually the device is immediately marked by this; technically it becomes critical as soon as splinters come off or dirt gets in. The Pixel 4 back glass repair at Reparo costs EUR 89.
One aspect many workshops underestimate: in the upper third of the back sits the Soli radar chip responsible for Motion Sense and fast face recognition. When loosening the old back, work in this area must be especially controlled, because the sensors react sensitively to heat and mechanical pressure. We use exclusively exact-fit back covers that precisely match the cutouts for radar and camera.
Wireless charging and IP68 after the swap
The Pixel 4 charges inductively via the Qi coil under the back. As soon as we fit the new glass, we check whether the coil transmits energy unimpeded — a common mistake in cheap repairs is an adhesive layer that is too thick and slows down charging. We also restore the seal so that the Pixel 4 retains its IP68 protection against splash water. Also take a look at our Google Pixel repair overview if you suspect further defects.
Frequently asked questions about the Pixel 4 back glass repair
How much does the Pixel 4 back glass repair cost in Vienna?
At Reparo you pay EUR 89 fixed price. The price includes the glass back with soft-touch coating, fitting, a new IP68 seal, function check and 6 months warranty. Diagnostic check 25 EUR — waived as soon as you place the repair order.
Is wireless charging preserved on the Pixel 4 after the back glass swap?
Yes. We use an exact-fit glass back designed for the Qi charging coil of the Pixel 4. The adhesive layer is dimensioned so that inductive charging works at full speed — tested before return.
Does the Soli radar (Motion Sense) work after the back glass swap?
As long as the radar chip itself is not damaged, Motion Sense is fully preserved. We work with reduced heat in the upper area of the back and check gesture and face recognition after fitting. If the radar suffered in the drop, you get a separate diagnosis.
How long does the back glass swap on the Pixel 4 take?
The repair itself is done in 2 to 3 hours. Those who live in Vienna often get the Pixel 4 back the same day. When sending in from the provinces, count on 1–3 working days total.
What does the typical spider crack look like on the Pixel 4?
Spider cracks are star-shaped, fine cracks that spread outwards from the impact point. On the Pixel 4 they look especially striking because the soft-touch coating flakes off in the cracked area and the dark base shows through.
Does the Pixel 4 really have a glass back with soft-touch?
Yes — Google gave the Pixel 4, as the only Pixel model, a matte glass back with a velvety soft-touch coating. We recreate exactly this feel with the replacement back cover.
Is the IP68 protection preserved after the repair?
Yes. During fitting we also replace the seal at the back cover bond. After the function check the Pixel 4 is again protected against splash water and dust within the scope of the original IP68 classification.
Can I drop the Pixel 4 off spontaneously?
Reparo works without a walk-in counter — so you cannot simply drop off your Pixel 4. We use exclusively pickup service in Vienna or shipping from the rest of Austria. Book an appointment online, we take care of the rest.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work?
After booking the appointment online you suggest a time window, we come to the given address, take the Pixel 4 and bring it back directly after the repair. You do not have to leave your home for it.
Can I send the Pixel 4 in from the provinces?
Yes. You book an appointment online, pack the device shock-protected — ideally without a protective case so splinters do not splinter further — and send it in by post. Repair and return happen within 1–3 working days.
Do I lose data during the back glass swap?
No. Swapping the glass back touches neither the storage nor the mainboard. Photos, accounts, apps and settings remain unchanged on the Pixel 4.
What warranty does Reparo give on the Pixel 4 back cover swap?
You get 6 months warranty on the fitted back cover and our workmanship. If a repair-related fault occurs in that time, we fix it free of charge.
Is the repair of the Pixel 4 still worth it?
For many users yes — the Pixel 4 is the last Pixel with Soli radar and Motion Sense. Anyone who loves this feature deliberately keeps the device. EUR 89 repair stands against a Pixel 8a without radar for around EUR 549.
What about the Soli radar area if the drop hit there?
If the impact was directly in the upper area of the back, we additionally check the Soli radar for function. Should the radar be damaged, we let you know in advance and give a separate quote — a pure glass swap is not enough in that case.
My Pixel 4 had water contact and the back is cracked — what now?
Water plus a crack means: IP68 is gone, and moisture may have been drawn into the housing. We open the device, assess corrosion traces and give a total price. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair — a back glass swap alone is pointless if the interior is affected.
