‘Warranty and Care’ Menu Simplifies Device Care for New Foldables

8/17/2026

Samsung users may have noticed something new on their Galaxy Z foldables — the Warranty and care1 menu.

Managing warranties and coverage for a Galaxy mobile phone, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, and Galaxy Tab can be complex. That’s where Warranty and care comes in. Introduced with One UI 9, it brings essential device management features together in one place, letting users check warranty status, run diagnostics, book repairs, and get support in just a few taps — all without leaving Settings.

Here’s a closer look at what Warranty and care, available with One UI 9 on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 offers.

Check Warranty Status Across Galaxy Devices

Keeping track of warranty periods and expiration dates across Galaxy devices isn’t always easy. Warranty and care consolidates this information into a single hub.

Access Warranty and care easily in Settings.

Available in Settings, Warranty and care displays information2 about the device in use at the top of the screen — including remaining warranty period and eligibility for Samsung Care+ enrollment.3 Below, users can find the same details for other Galaxy devices linked to their Samsung account, making it easy to check warranty and coverage status across their Galaxy ecosystem.

For added protection beyond the standard warranty, users can easily explore and enroll in a Samsung Care+ plan that matches their needs, including unlimited battery repairs and $0 cracked screen and back glass repairs.4

Resolve Device Issues with Diagnostics and Bixby

When something doesn’t feel quite right, quickly finding out what’s wrong can make all the difference. The built-in Diagnostics feature checks the device — including its battery, charging, sensors, touch response, and connectivity — to help pinpoint the issue and guide users to the next step, whether that’s a suggested solution or a repair request.

Bixby offers customized responses to your inquiries.

Users can also access Bixby5 from Warranty and care to ask about an issue and get help on the spot. For example, if a user asks, “My battery is draining too fast. What should I do?” Bixby can walk them through possible solutions step by step. It’s a convenient way to get answers to everyday questions without switching screens.

Book Repairs and Check Estimated Costs in One Place

When professional help is needed, users can tap “Request a repair” to book a repair at a Samsung-authorized service center without having to make phone calls. All repairs are carried out by Samsung-certified technicians using genuine parts.6 If users are unable to visit a service center, they can start remote support from the same screen and get help directly on their device.

Warranty and care also makes device care service information easy to check. After selecting an issue, users can view estimated repair costs7 for major parts alongside the cost of the same repair with Samsung Care+. This comparison helps users weigh their options and decide whether they want additional protection.

Repair estimates on main parts can also be verified.

Protect Device Value for the Long Term

By bringing warranty information, diagnostics, support, and repair services together, Warranty and care gives Galaxy users a simple way to manage their devices for greater peace of mind. Checking the feature during setup makes it easy to know where to turn if an issue comes up later — from running diagnostics and asking Bixby or a chatbot for help to requesting a repair. With these essential services close at hand, users can keep their devices in good condition for longer and help preserve their value.

For peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow, Galaxy devices are supported by professional care at nearby Samsung-authorized service centers, both at home and abroad.

Purchase Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, or Galaxy Z Flip8 and sign up today for Samsung Care+ to protect your newest device.
