- If you have Care Plus Theft and Loss, it’s now $0 for a same-day screen repair on a Galaxy phone.
- Samsung is making this change just ahead of its Galaxy Unpacked event on January 20.
- With the warranty, you get unlimited $0 same-day screen repairs at locations.
Whether you already own a Galaxy smartphone or are very curious about what’s to come Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025the tech giant has some good news when it comes to its Care Plus warranty program.
For both existing and new Samsung Care Plus Theft and Loss customers with a Galaxy smartphone, it will now cost just $0 to repair a cracked screen instead of $29. That’s a sizable savings for a same-day repair of a cracked smartphone screen, and not to mention it’s an unlimited amount. This means that if you happen to crack the screen multiple times, it will be $0 for the same day repair to get your device back online.
Given that all of Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones have glass touchscreens, a crack is not only more likely – even with improvements to the structure – but can really take away from the functionality that a phone is supposed to provide. And if it’s a particularly hard crack, it can cause problems for your fingers.
Depending on your Galaxy smartphone, Samsung Care Plus Theft and Loss can cost between $8 and $18 per month. But all tiers now have unlimited same-day screen repairs for $0. You are also covered for back glass repairs, liquid damage and even theft. Many of the plans also include establishment assistance and general support.
In addition, Samsung also offers Care Plus Theft and Loss for smartwatches and tablets, both of which benefit from this new $0 same-day screen repair. The good news is that while others repair partnerships have stoppedmore than 700 Samsung authorized locations can still perform the repair. This means you can bring in a cracked device with Care Plus Theft and Loss, get it repaired and be on your way.
It’s probably no coincidence that Samsung is rolling out this new price adjustment for Care Plus Theft and Loss ahead of Galaxy Unpacked, where we expect to see the next Galaxy S family of smartphones – the S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra – unveiled.
In fact, prior to the event on January 20, you can already ‘pre-order’ the next Galaxy. We also wouldn’t be shocked to see some sort of Care Plus discount included with pre-orders of the upcoming smartphone, and given the benefits the extended warranty provides, it’s probably worth the investment.
