Say Goodbye to Expensive Repairs!

In a bold move, Google is replacing its old Preferred Care warranty with the all-new Pixel Care Plus, and the changes are game-changers for Pixel owners. The pricing remains relatively similar, with monthly fees set at $8 or a one-time payment of $159 for a two-year plan on the Pixel 9.

For those eyeing the flagship Pixel 10 Pro Fold, get ready to shell out $339 for two years or $18 per month, plus a minor fee for the optional loss and theft coverage.

The Amazing Perks of Pixel Care Plus!

The highlight of the Pixel Care Plus program? Free screen and battery repairs! Unlike the old plan where a cracked screen replacement came with a $29 price tag, you can now replace a cracked front screen or a battery that’s below 80% capacity without spending a dime. Talk about a relief!

However, keep in mind, if you damage the internal screen on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you're on your own.

What About Other Accidental Damages?

Accidental damage fees vary by model. For older units like the Pixel 8a and 9a, you’ll face a fee of $49, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold can cost up to $99. On average, repair costs are lower—with fees reaching around $129 for the Pixel 9 Pro and Fold models.

Competing with the Best!

Google’s Pixel Care Plus brings the tech giant in line with competitor Samsung, who eliminated screen replacement fees from their extended coverage plans back in January. With these new offerings, Pixel users can breathe easier knowing that critical repairs won’t break the bank.

Overall, Pixel Care Plus marks a significant upgrade for Pixel enthusiasts, making device upkeep simpler and more affordable!
