What is Samsung Care Plus?

Don’t carry a busted phone

When you buy a new Samsung device, you get 60 days to purchase Care+. It’s available in two tiers, with the more expensive option adding cover for theft and loss. It doesn’t matter how well you look after your phone; accidents happen. Last year, my wife’s Z Flip 4 fell into a fish tank with the SIM tray removed, so there was no stopping the water from getting in and ruining the device. Instead of paying £1,000 for a new one, Samsung replaced it for just £100. Go back to 2021, though, and I had to pay £350 to replace the screen of my two-day-old S21 Ultra when I dropped another phone onto it.
