Manufacturer insurance has 5 modalities, which offer different services.
Buying a cell phone is seen as an investment these days. The devices have many functions and are increasingly more technological and advanced, which is why the price ends up being a bit steep. We also spend days researching and deciding which model is best. In other words, in addition to money, we also invest time in finding the ideal cell phone. And right after buying it, we feel that insecurity about the device breaking or being stolen, losing all the investment we made in it.
For this reason, there has been a lot of talk about insurance to protect your cell phone. There are many plans and types of coverage, with different prices, that can fit perfectly into the consumer's pocket and needs.
One company that has an insurance service is Samsung, which has many devices in its catalog and aims to offer greater protection for the devices and for the brand's customers.

Safe
THE Samsung brand has Samsung Care +, which is a protection program for the brand's devices. This insurance from the company covers cell phones, tablets, notebooks and other devices of the brand. The value of the protection varies according to the device and the plan chosen. There are 5 modalities in total, which have simpler or more complete options, which protect against major damages. The plan can be contracted through the company's website, in Samsung stores, or by calling a Samsung consultant.
The simplest insurance plan options extend the device's warranty for longer or cover screen repairs, while the most comprehensive options protect against accidental damage and even qualified theft.
Samsung Care +
The insurance from Samsung protects more than 30 cell phone models and more than 20 notebook models, as well as options for tablets, smartwatches and headphones from the brand. Prices vary according to the type of each product and whether it is top of the line or more basic.
Each line has four or five insurance options:
– Combo – Accidental Damage + Robbery and Qualified Theft;
– Robbery and Qualified Theft;
– Accidental Damage;
– Protected Screen Insurance and Extended Warranty – available only for some devices.
Coverage
Combo – Accidental Damage + Robbery and Theft
This plan covers damage to the device and qualified theft and robbery. Robbery is defined as theft when someone has the object taken with threats and violence. Theft, on the other hand, does not involve threats, but leaves physical damage, such as broken doors or windows.
In case of damage, the device is repaired. In cases of theft or robbery, the device is replaced with an identical or similar device. This plan allows up to two activations during the validity period.
Robbery and Qualified Theft
This plan covers the cases of theft and robbery already explained above. After the incident is proven, the user will have access to a new device, identical or similar to the lost device. This plan also has international coverage and allows only one activation during its validity period.
Accidental Damage
This modality covers damage caused by liquids, oxidation and device breakage and can be activated up to two times. If the device cannot be repaired, it is replaced with an identical or similar one.
Protected Screen
This insurance covers damage to the device's screen and includes breakage and oxidation of components. It allows up to two repairs within a one-year period.
Extended Warranty
With this plan, you can extend your device's warranty for an additional year. If any repairs are necessary, they will be carried out using original brand parts. If repairs are not possible, the device will be replaced with a new one, the same or similar.
Pros and cons
A very positive point about Samsung insurance is that in the case of repairs, they are made with original parts from the manufacturer. Furthermore, if the repair is not possible, the brand will exchange it for another device that is the same or similar to it.
However, the brand does not cover cases of simple theft, when there is no physical damage. In these cases, the cell phone is taken from the victim's pocket or is taken from a restaurant table, for example. This type of theft is more common and is covered by other insurance policies. Therefore, it is a negative point of Samsung's insurance.
Furthermore, the price of branded insurance may be more expensive than other insurance policies on the market. Therefore, it is ideal to check the prices and conditions of these insurance policies to decide which one is best for each need.
