Google Opens Pixel Care+ for Pixel 9 and 10 Owners at $5-$15 a Month

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 17

Summary

  • Aug. 2 is the deadline for Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 owners to add Pixel Care+ even if they skipped coverage at purchase, a break from Google’s usual 60-day enrollment window.
  • Google prices the protection at $5 to $15 a month, with lower two-year rates, and includes no-cost screen and battery repairs, unlimited accidental-damage claims, and optional loss-and-theft coverage.
  • Eligible phones must be in good working condition, and Pixel Fold models are excluded; loss-and-theft claims also carry about a $99 deductible and are unavailable in New York.
  • The offer is most compelling for long-term owners, people without cases, or users who cannot wait for repairs, while frequent upgraders or customers already covered by credit-card phone insurance may see less value.
