From Day One to Years Later: Samsung Care+ Offers Comprehensive Protection for Galaxy Users

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 take care of it. The average phone upgrade cycle has increased from 2.4 years to 3.5 years globally,¹ signaling a shift toward longer ownership.

This makes it smart to have comprehensive device care in place — especially as 23% of consumers now consider future resale value of their device when making purchasing decisions.² That’s where Samsung Care+ comes in.³ Not only does it preserve the future resale value of your device, it provides peace of mind and lasting value tomorrow.

Flexible and Personalized Choices for Every Lifestyle 

Not everyone uses their device the same way. Some need a complete peace of mind against everyday accidents. Others focus on long-term device reliability. Samsung Care+ gets this.

Samsung Care+ offers diverse plans that reflect the unique needs of customers with different lifestyles. This includes accidental damage cover that protects against certain knocks, drops and spills.⁴ For users prioritizing long-term performance and reliability, extended warranty coverage can help address certain mechanical or electrical failures well beyond the standard warranty period, which can become increasingly valuable as users hold onto devices longer.

Samsung Care+ also offers light option that deliver essential screen coverage at a more accessible price point. For frequent travelers and urban commuters navigating high-traffic environments, Theft and Loss coverage adds another layer of security.⁵

Payment flexibility matters too. Monthly plans spread costs over time, while upfront payment option is available. Your device, your choice.

Protection is only valuable if you can access when needed. That is what matters most. Samsung Care+ delivers service designed to provide expert care in a simple, accessible way — wherever you are.

The claims process is designed for clarity. No complex forms. No confusing requirements to navigate. Samsung Care+ offers a streamlined claims process and priority queue, ensuring customers can receive the care they need without hassle and minimizing disruption to their daily routines.

This approach does more than fix immediate problems — it maintains your device in working condition, preserving what you invested in whether you plan to keep it longer or eventually upgrade.

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 comprehensive coverage both at home and abroad. You can receive Samsung-certified service in major cities around the world, including Seoul, London, Los Angeles and Barcelona.⁷
