Warranty and care’ Menu Simplifies Device Care for New Foldables
20-10-2026
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 a hassle. 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 in a single hub.


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.
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 request4.

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.
Protect Device Value for the Long Term
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.
