Like many people, I consider my phone my lifeline, and I often worry about what’s going to happen to it each time I need to travel.
Sure, I back up my data (whenever I remember to), but it’s the device itself that’s more precious to me than gold. As they say in the mobster movies: “shame if anything was to happen to it.” Indeed, if something were to go very wrong, I’d feel disconnected without the ability to reach anyone, do work on it, get my email, or simply function in life.
That dreadful day came when I was going on a ride along the bike path. I pulled out my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on a water break, and much to my horror, my wet and sweaty hands let the phone slip. I saw that baby do cartwheels onto the rocky gravel below. The landing wasn’t kind to the glass. Suffice it to say, I spent the better part of a few minutes using some choice words.
Soon enough, I thought “even though this sucks, it could be worse.”
That’s because I have Samsung Care+ — Samsung’s device protection plan designed to provide support in times of unexpected trouble. They fixed it up as good as new in no time, and I can’t even describe how relieved I was, not just at how user-friendly and straight-forward the service was, but how simple and easy it was to get everything back the way it was. Really, it turned a teeth-gritting experience into a relatively minor inconvenience.
For those unfamiliar with Samsung Care+, the wide-ranging plan offers coverage for the Galaxy device’s accidental damage, liquid damage, mechanical breakdowns, and battery replacement, alongside access to Samsung-certified technicians using genuine Samsung parts. The service also includes convenient repair options, such as same-day walk-in repairs, mail-in service, and support at home or abroad, helping users stay connected with minimal disruption. I was sold on it knowing just how many things this plan will look after for you: any unexpected bump, spill, drop, or slip, as well as loss or theft coverage under Samsung Care+ Premium.
Samsung also offers flexible payment plans, and now has more options too. Beginning today, you can purchase a monthly payment plan online, or opt into an annual or two-year plan. It’s the smartest move you can make to include Samsung Care+ when you buy a new Galaxy device, whether at a Samsung Experience Store, online at Samsung.com/ca or within sixty days of purchase for residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) or thirty days of purchase for residents of Quebec.
What this means, ultimately, is that I have confidence knowing that every moment I carry my device, in any place I go, I’m well taken care of if anything goes wrong.
I honestly don’t need any more worries in my life, and it’s one less thing that occupies my mind now. I feel like I can use my phone freely, without needing to think twice about my life being disrupted by an unpredictable accident. The decision to purchase my Galaxy S26 Ultra in the first place wasn’t an accident though, as I was comforted to know that Samsung itself has built a decades-long solid reputation, with a long history in the tech world.
I’m pleased to report that I’m back on my bike, with phone in pouch, zipping along the path with no worries, all thanks to Samsung Care+.
