																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, Samsung launched the new Galaxy S26 series – its most intuitive Galaxy AI phone yet. Consumer response has been stellar, with pre-orders moving quickly and excitement building around the device’s innovative features. As these cutting-edge devices begin arriving, it’s important to consider how you will care for it. The average phone upgrade cycle has increased from 2.4 years to a whopping 3.5 years globally<sup>1</sup><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span></span></a>, signalling a shift toward longer device ownership.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s where Samsung Care+ comes in. Not only does it provide certified care for your Galaxy device, it provides peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"></span><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13687" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/3a971545-264f-421b-8fba-d06303f70d29.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="800" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/3a971545-264f-421b-8fba-d06303f70d29.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/3a971545-264f-421b-8fba-d06303f70d29-1000x556.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/3a971545-264f-421b-8fba-d06303f70d29-768x427.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/3a971545-264f-421b-8fba-d06303f70d29-1024x569.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Flexible Choices</h3>
<p>Samsung Care+ includes two service requests for physical malfunction and liquid resistance failure every 12 month period<sup>2</sup>, and also provides repairs for mechanical malfunctions or defects<sup>3</sup>. For users prioritizing long-term performance and reliability, the Samsung Care+ Extended Warranty provides confidence well beyond the standard warranty period.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Care+ Premium offers two replacement requests if you fail to locate your device using SmartThings Find<sup>4</sup>, and includes all the great features of Samsung Care+.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Care+ plans offer flexible payment options with pay up front choices. For Galaxy S26 Ultra users, Samsung Care+ starts at $139 if you pay up front for one year of coverage. Samsung Care+ Premium starts at $189 if you pay up front for 1 year of coverage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Professional Service Without the Hassle</h3>
<p>Protection is only valuable if you can access it when needed. That is what matters most. Samsung Care+ delivers service designed to provide expert care in a simple, accessible way &#8211; wherever you are.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The claims process is designed for clarity. No complex forms. No confusing requirements to navigate. Samsung Care+ offers a <strong>streamlined claims process</strong>, ensuring customers can receive the care they need while minimizing disruption to their daily routines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once your claim is submitted, <strong>Samsung-authorized service centres</strong> take over. Every repair is handled by <strong>certified technicians</strong> using <strong>Samsung genuine parts</strong>. This approach does more than fix immediate problems – it maintains your device in optimal condition, preserving what you invested in whether you plan to keep it for years or eventually upgrade.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And here’s something people often overlook until they are traveling. Your device goes everywhere with you, so your protection should too. Samsung Care+ provides <strong>comprehensive coverage both at</strong> <strong>home and abroad</strong><sup>5</sup> without travel restrictions. Toronto. Vancouver. London. Los Angeles. Barcelona. Wherever life takes you, Samsung Care+ is there for you.</p>
