																<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p> Samsung users may have noticed something new on their Galaxy Z foldables — the <strong>Warranty and care</strong><sup data-fn="c628fcea-b9bb-4b5d-82e2-300e55f9cf86" class="fn"><a href="#c628fcea-b9bb-4b5d-82e2-300e55f9cf86" id="c628fcea-b9bb-4b5d-82e2-300e55f9cf86-link">1</a></sup> menu.</p>



<p>Managing warranties and coverage for a Galaxy mobile phone, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, and Galaxy Tab can be a hassle. That’s where Warranty and care comes in. Introduced with <strong>One UI 9</strong>, 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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p><strong>Check Warranty Status Across Galaxy Devices</strong></p>



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



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="699" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/20112759/001-Warranty-and-care-Menu-Simplifies-Device-Care-for-New-Foldables-Newsbody-1000x699.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26249" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="699" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/20112859/002-Warranty-and-care-Menu-Simplifies-Device-Care-for-New-Foldables-Newsbody-1000x699.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26250" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Access Warranty and care instantly from Settings.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p></p>



<p>Available in Settings, Warranty and care displays information<sup data-fn="b97da1d6-70b1-4950-b6ce-08ce1cd38b40" class="fn"><a href="#b97da1d6-70b1-4950-b6ce-08ce1cd38b40" id="b97da1d6-70b1-4950-b6ce-08ce1cd38b40-link">2</a></sup> about the device in use at the top of the screen — including remaining warranty period and eligibility for <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/offer/samsung-care-plus/"><strong>Samsung Care+</strong></a><strong> </strong>enrollment.<sup data-fn="b18b23f1-cd1c-407b-9c46-a2cd9cf3bb47" class="fn"><a href="#b18b23f1-cd1c-407b-9c46-a2cd9cf3bb47" id="b18b23f1-cd1c-407b-9c46-a2cd9cf3bb47-link">3</a></sup> 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.</p>



<p>For added protection beyond the standard warranty, users can easily explore and enroll in a Samsung Care+ plan that matches their needs.</p>



<p><strong>Resolve Device Issues With Diagnostics and Bixby</strong></p>



<p>When something doesn’t feel quite right, quickly finding out what’s wrong can make all the difference. The built-in <strong>Diagnostics</strong> 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<sup data-fn="524ad02d-f364-48e5-9a29-034d84bfc8b7" class="fn"><a href="#524ad02d-f364-48e5-9a29-034d84bfc8b7" id="524ad02d-f364-48e5-9a29-034d84bfc8b7-link">4</a></sup>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="699" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/20113012/003-Warranty-and-care-Menu-Simplifies-Device-Care-for-New-Foldables-Newsbody-1000x699.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26251" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Bixby offers customised responses to your inquiries.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p></p>



<p>Users can also access <strong>Bixby</strong><sup data-fn="68d73b48-c055-4095-8561-94ce69ec86eb" class="fn"><a href="#68d73b48-c055-4095-8561-94ce69ec86eb" id="68d73b48-c055-4095-8561-94ce69ec86eb-link">5</a></sup> 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.</p>



<p><strong>Protect Device Value for the Long Term</strong></p>



<p>By bringing warranty information, diagnostics, support and repair services together, Warranty and care gives Galaxy users a simpler way to manage their devices for greater peace of mind. Checking the feature during setup makes it easier 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.</p>
