This week at Samsung's Unpacked event, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 were introduced to the world. The South Korean smartphone manufacturer reportedly reduced the cost of repairs under the Samsung Care+ subscription plan this year to entice customers to buy the new foldable smartphones. Drops, spills, and broken displays are covered by the Samsung Care+ plan. By spending $29, eligible consumers might replace their cracked screens on new foldable phones (roughly Rs. 2,300).
Samsung offers a year of Samsung Care+ accidental damage protection with their foldable phones. This includes replacing the screen, repairing water damage, and replacing the rear cover, as specified, for accidental damage to the devices. But following the warranty period, customers must pay the full cost of a foldable screen replacement.
According to The Verge, replacing a cracked screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 will now cost you $29 on each device. For users with the $11 (about Rs. 800) per month Samsung Care+ plan, the screen repair for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 from the previous generation costs $249 (nearly Rs. 19,800) outside of the regular warranty. According to the Samsung Support page, the cost of these models' out-of-warranty screen repairs without Samsung Care+ can reach $480 (around Rs. 38,200).
In the upcoming weeks, Samsung will release the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, which are only slightly improved over their predecessors, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2. Z Flip 3. Pre-booking for the devices in India will start on August 16 at 12pm (noon). Both the new phones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and support a variable refresh rate. They have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection on the display and rear glass and are IPX8 rated for dust and water resistance.
