- Samsung Care Plus subscribers can currently get cracked screens replaced for a $29 fee.
- Starting January 15, Samsung is eliminating that fee in favor of “zero dollar” glass service.
- Only Samsung’s most expensive Care Plus with Theft and Loss plan will be eligible.
There are few indignities a smartphone user will suffer that are quite as mortifying as using a phone with shattered glass. Even if your handset is still usable, and there are no exposed sharp edges threatening to cut you, it still looks like garbage and basically just telegraphs to the world, “I’m not to be trusted with nice things.” Thankfully, Samsung is making it even easier to get damaged smartphone glass replaced in 2025 for certain Care Plus subscribers.
Samsung’s device protection plans are available at two main levels when we’re talking about phones: the regular Care Plus, and Care Plus with Theft and Loss. The latter includes perks like Knox Guard and same-day service, but the big draw is that it covers replacement hardware when your phone is lost or stolen. Understandably, you pay quite a bit more for that kind of peace of mind.
