Question: Hi Lenana. With the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy devices – the Z Fold 6, Flip 6, and the S24 Ultra earlier in the year, protecting them becomes even more important. Can you tell us about Samsung Care+ and how it helps users achieve peace of mind?
Lenana Kariba: Absolutely! As a big fan of Samsung devices for over two years now, I completely understand the importance of protecting them. Samsung Care+ is a fantastic service plan that goes beyond the standard warranty to offer worry-free protection for your Galaxy device. It’s like having a safety net in case of any accidents. Specifically, Care+ offers accidental damage coverage for the screen. This is a huge relief for clumsy folks like me (laughs)! No one wants a cracked screen interrupting their creativity or busy lifestyle. Care+ ensures your device stays looking sharp and functions perfectly.
Question: That sounds very reassuring. Can you elaborate on the types of repairs covered under Care+?
Lenana Kariba: Life happens, and accidents are bound to occur. That’s why Samsung Care+ is there to help. It covers repairs using genuine Samsung parts by a network of authorized technicians. This includes fixing a cracked screen, a common mishap for many users like me. They’ve got you covered.
Question: Speaking of screens, is there a difference in coverage between foldable and non-foldable devices?
Lenana Kariba: That’s a great question. It was the first question I asked when I got my new Fold 6, especially since the phone is a premium item. Samsung recognizes the unique nature of their foldable phones. The standard Care+ plan covers one front screen repair within a year, while the Z Premier plan is designed specifically for foldables. This plan offers a single repair for either the inner foldable screen or the front screen. It makes perfect sense to have this extra coverage for these innovative devices.
Question: Peace of mind is essential, especially for premium devices. When it comes to enrolling in Care+, is there a specific timeframe users need to be aware of?
Lenana Kariba: Certainly. To activate coverage, registration needs to happen within the first 30 days of purchasing your new device. It’s a quick and easy process that can be done online through the Samsung Members app or at any Samsung store. The entire program lasts for a maximum of 12 months, providing ample protection during that critical first year.

Question: This sounds like a valuable service, especially for those of us who might be a little accident-prone! (laughs) Is there anything else you’d like to highlight about Care+?
Lenana Kariba: Sure. One of the key benefits for me is the convenience factor. In case of an accident, you can simply visit a Samsung authorized service center and have your device repaired by trained professionals using genuine parts. It’s a hassle-free experience. Additionally, the claim process is streamlined with a small deductible per claim, keeping repair costs manageable.
Question: I’m curious, how does Samsung Care+ compare to third-party insurance options?
Lenana Kariba: Samsung Care+ offers several advantages over third-party insurance. It’s specifically designed for Samsung devices, ensuring perfect compatibility and seamless integration with your Galaxy phone or tablet. Plus, Samsung-authorized technicians handle repairs, guaranteeing quality and using authentic parts. You know you’re getting the best possible service.
Question: Are there any limitations or exclusions to the coverage provided by Samsung Care+?
Lenana Kariba: While Care+ offers comprehensive coverage, there are some exclusions. For instance, it typically doesn’t cover damage caused by intentional acts, loss, or theft. It’s always best to review the specific terms and conditions for detailed information before enrolling.
Question: Can I transfer Samsung Care+ to another device if I upgrade or sell my current one?
Lenana Kariba: Funny thing. I already tried this with my previous Fold. Unfortunately, Samsung Care+ is not transferable. You’ll need to enroll your new device for coverage. As someone who loves upgrading to the latest Samsung tech, I always make sure to match my new device with Care+ for that extra peace of mind. However, it’s always advisable to double-check the details of your specific Care+ plan for clarity.
Question: Is there a deductible associated with Samsung Care+?
Lenana Kariba: Yes, there is typically a deductible that you need to pay when making a claim. The amount of the deductible varies depending on the plan and the type of damage.
Question: How can I check my Samsung Care+ coverage status?
Lenana Kariba: You can easily check your coverage status through the Samsung Members App.
