Pricing between the two is pretty similar. You\u2019ll still pay $8 per-month, or $159 for a two-year plan on a Pixel 9. For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/766613\/google-pixel-10-pro-review-ai-magic-cue-camera-pro-res-zoom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel 10<\/a> Pro Fold, that jumps up to $339 for two years, or $18 per-month, with the optional loss and theft package for a small extra charge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The big changes here are that screen and battery repairs are free, and service fees for other accidental damage are much lower. Under the old Preferred Care program, replacing a cracked screen would run you $29. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/store\/answer\/16496166#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel Care Plus<\/a> a cracked front screen or battery running at under 80-percent capacity will get swapped out for $0. Unfortunately, if you happen to mess up the internal screen on your 10 Pro Fold, you are not covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Other accidental damage fees vary depending on model, ranging from $49 on some older models like the Pixel 8a and 9a, to $99 on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. On average they\u2019re lower though, with service fees reaching $129 for the Pixel 9 Pro and Fold models. The new loss and theft option, which adds $1 or $2 a month to the plan, also varies per model with deductibles ranging up to $149 on the high end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The new plans bring Google more inline with the likes of Samsung, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/17\/24344533\/samsung-care-plus-cracked-glass-repairs-same-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ditched screen replacement fees<\/a> under its new extended coverage plans back in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is phasing out its Preferred Care extended warranty plan for the Pixel Care Plus program.
