Cracked Galaxy Screen? Fix it for Free with Samsung’s Surprise Service

Samsung Just Made a cracking change to its Care Plus warranty program

As the countdown continues to Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 20, 2025, the tech giant has dropped some exciting news about its Care Plus warranty program. If you’re a proud owner of a Galaxy smartphone or eager to get your hands on the next Galaxy device, here’s what you need to know.

Same-day screen repairs, without the cost

For customers with Care Plus Theft and Loss, the good news is that same-day screen repair for a cracked Galaxy phone will now cost zero dollars, a significant saving of $29 previously. This unlimited benefit is available at same-day locations, which means you can get your phone fixed and back in action without breaking the bank.

The catch? There is no catch – this change is a straightforward win for those with a Samsung phone and a crack in the screen. Glass screens are more prone to cracking, and a cracked screen can be frustrating to deal with. Now, with this new policy, you can get it fixed without a hefty bill.

But that’s not all. Samsung Care Plus Theft and Loss, which costs between $8 and $18 monthly, depending on your Galaxy smartphone model, also covers backglass repairs, liquid damage, and even theft. Many plans also include setup help and general support.

Good news for smartwatch and tablet owners too

The care package isn’t limited to phone owners only. Samsung also offers Care Plus Theft and Loss for smartwatches and tablets, both of which will benefit from this new $0 same-day screen repair policy. And, with over 700 Samsung-authorized locations still available for repair, you can drop off your cracked device and get it repaired without a hassle.

What’s the connection to Galaxy Unpacked?

It’s likely no coincidence that Samsung is rolling out this new pricing adjustment ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event, where we expect to see the next Galaxy S family of smartphones unveiled. In fact, you can already "pre-reserve" the next Galaxy device, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see some type of Care Plus discount included alongside preorders of the forthcoming smartphone, considering the benefits this extended warranty provides.
