Samsung owners enrolled in a Samsung Care Plus plan got some seriously good news today. Starting in May 2024, they’re shaking up the whole deal to include unlimited battery repairs, according to information received by Android Authority.
What is Samsung Care Plus?
The new deal on battery replacements
Before this change, getting a new battery through Care Plus was a bit of a hassle and a one-time deal. Additionally, your device was only eligible for a battery replacement if there was a mechanical failure. Now, if you have the “Care Plus with Theft and Loss” or the standard “Care Plus” plan, and your device’s battery health takes a nosedive below 79%, you will be good for a freebie. You can also get an additional battery replacement if your battery health keeps declining. Samsung is getting rid of those limits.
Of course, unlimited battery replacement comes at a cost – your monthly Samsung Care Plus bill will increase by $2 starting in May. You can think of it as the price of peace of mind, but you do not have to agree with it. If you do not want to be charged more, you can always cancel, but you need to make sure you do it before May 1st, or else your continued payments will signal to Samsung that you are all in.
