Chosen Solution

I want to replace my camera lens of Sony XPERIA ZR… I found some web-sites which sell lens but I don’t know how good they are also little worried about replacing cause I have not done this before. Can you please guide me for Lens replacing process? Also if there is not good lens for XPERIA ZR can I use lens of other models like XPERIA Z or ZL or SP? -Thank You

There is a good tear down guide here on ifixit. Sony Xperia ZR C5503 Teardown Hope this helps

No, you can’t use the camera lens of ZL or SP, they are a little bigger and thicker. As for how to replace the camera lens, it’s easy. You only need tweezers or some sharp thing like tweezers. Use the tweezers to pry the camera lens ring with a little effort because there is adhesive sticker under it, and then you can remove the camera lens with the ring together easily. At that time, you can push then camera lens and remove it finally.

Hello, That’s a later reply, but probably it will be usefull. I couldn’t find a replacement part in market, so tried an abrasive polishing and it helps for me. One can find disassemble instructions in net to detach a plastic cover of camera and then polish it. You can compare photos made with/without a cover any time. Regards
