Overview
- The Warranty and Care section went live Tuesday on phones running One UI 9 and is available now on the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
- The hub shows each device’s remaining warranty period, flags Samsung Care+ enrollment or eligibility, and lets users buy Care+ for eligible devices linked to the same Samsung account.
- A built‑in Diagnostics tool runs hardware checks for battery, charging, touchscreen, sensors, and connectivity while Bixby offers step‑by‑step troubleshooting inside Settings.
- From the same screen users can book appointments at Samsung‑authorized service centers, request remote support, and see estimated out‑of‑warranty and Samsung Care+ repair costs with regional variations in available services.
- Samsung says the hub will expand to older Galaxy phones in future One UI 9 updates, a change that could cut repair friction for owners of costly foldables and reshape how customers verify coverage and schedule service.
