Samsung Care Plus allows you to insure your Galaxy smartphone from unnecessary repair burdens. You can either attach Care Plus while buying a new Galaxy from Samsung or purchase it within 60 days of successful activation.

If you have missed both opportunities, there’s good news for you. Samsung is allowing you to enroll for the Care Plus for your Galaxy device. The company is offering extended open enrollment through November 24 for eligible devices.

Even if you’ve missed the 60-day timeline, you can still insure your Galaxy with Samusng Care Plus. It’s a paid subscription offered by Samsung that saves you big in case of out-of-warranty repairs due to accidental damages.

Think your phone is under warranty but got damaged by water insertion. If you have a Care Plus subscription, you will only need to pay a minimal claim fee. Other charges will be considered by Samsung for providing authorized repair.

Samsung Care Plus subscription is good for devices like the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. It isn’t exclusive to flagship models, you can even ensure budget phones such as the Galaxy A25 and Galaxy A15.

Opting for eligible models would also allow you to get Theft and Loss for 20% off the normal rate. AndroidAuthority reports the flagships count as “tier 4” devices under how Samsung prices its plan, and 24 months of coverage will normally run you $349.

Qualcomm’s profit will likely soar given increased demand from Samsung and Chinese firms. Amid rumors of Snapdragon exclusivity in the Galaxy S25 series, an industry analyst claimed that Samsung increased demand for the next Qualcomm chip.

Samsung has increased demand for Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 hinting at the chip’s exclusivity in the Galaxy S25 family globally. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Qualcomm’s latest flagship will bring significant growth given many factors.

The analyst suggests more extended shipping period, increased demand, and changes in the Chinese market will push Qualcomm’s profits further. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be a big hit for the biggest mobile chipset designer.

The market share of Chinese brands significantly increased in mainland China. Samsung has a negligible presence in the market, while Apple’s sales growth remains flat. The development hints at a growing landscape of Chinese smartphone makers.

Samsung confirmed 3nm Exynos 2500 during the launch of Exynos 2400. The latter powers Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus in most markets except for the US. Samsung Foundry is facing yield issues with the 3nm process, leading to the Exynos 2500 cancellation.

We’ve heard the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 could be used in vanilla Galaxy S25. However, the chipset is now rumored to power the Galaxy S25 FE next year. This means, Samsung could repeat S23 series-like chip reliance next year.

While Samsung’s reliance on Qualcomm is good for users, it could result in a price hike. Using Exynos, the vendor can manage the overall cost. However, reliance on Qualcomm reduces negotiation power as there’s no other option.
