What you need to know
- Google is starting to offer occasional payment options for favorite care plans.
- These plans were previously only available for Fitbit products, but can now be purchased for new commands of pixel, tablets and watches.
- Punctual expense costs reduce the favorite care coverage for two years to a discount compared to the cost of the subscription.
Google changes its insurance partner for favorite care plans from today, February 24, and adds a new payment option as part of the decision. The company has updated its official assistance page With the new insurance provider, as well as the single payment option which covers a phone, tablet or pixel monitoring for two years (via Android authority). Previously, all pixel devices had to be protected by favorite care via a subscription.
Google’s favorite care plans are a way to ensure a Pixel or Fitbit device, just like Applecare Plus or Samsung Care. From today, there are two different ways to buy a favorite care plan. You can either ensure the device for two years with a single payment, or choose a monthly subscription up to 60 months of total coverage. In case your screen is cracked, you will pay $ 29 for repair or up to $ 129 for a replacement.
The new offer coincides with an opinion that Google has changed its insurer for favorite care: “If your device is shipped on February 24, 2025 or after or after, your service contract provider will be Asurion Protection Guarantee, LLC or one From its affiliates, “the company explains in the assistance document. “If your device is shipped before February 24, 2025, your service contract provider will be ensuring.”
The only apparent change oriented towards the consumer as part of the switch is the addition of the single payment option. Like the monthly plan, you can either add a plan during the checkout to the Google Store or within 30 days of your purchase.
The prices of the favorite care plans of two years are as follows:
- Google Pixel 9: $ 159
- Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL: $ 249
- Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: $ 279
- Google Pixel Fold: $ 279
- Google Pixel 8 Pro: $ 249
- Google Pixel 8: $ 159
- Google Pixel 8A: $ 109
- Google Pixel 7a: $ 99
- Google Pixel 7 Pro: $ 199
- Google Pixel 7: $ 149
- Google Pixel tablet: $ 99
- Google Pixel Watch 3: $ 89
- Google Pixel Watch 2: $ 89
The above prices provide buyers with a slight discount on favorite care compared to the cost of the monthly subscription for two years. Of course, the disadvantage is that you cannot provide your pixel device with favorite care beyond 24 months if you use the initial option.
