Whether you dropped your phone on the sidewalk or forgot it was still in your pocket as you jumped into the pool, accidents happen. That’s why warranties exist, to give you some peace of mind in case something goes wrong. For Pixel owners, Google offers an extended warranty plan called Preferred Care. While this service has long only been offered as a monthly plan for Pixel devices, it looks like you’ll soon have a second option.
If you visit the Preferred Care support page, you might notice it has recently been updated. The most notable of the changes is the inclusion of a 2-year plan for Pixel devices that only requires a one-time payment. Previously, this 2-year option was only available for Fitbit models.
