Summary

  • Samsung’s new Warranty and care menu in One UI 9 is now live on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8 and the Galaxy S26 beta.
  • Inside Settings, the hub shows remaining warranty, Samsung Care+ eligibility and coverage for other Galaxy devices tied to the same Samsung account.
  • Built-in diagnostics test battery, charging, sensors, touchscreen and connectivity, then flag likely issues and suggest fixes; users can also ask Bixby for troubleshooting help.
  • If problems persist, the same menu lets users book authorized repairs, start remote support and compare estimated part-repair costs with Samsung Care+ pricing.
  • Samsung is positioning the feature as a single service center for phones, tablets, watches and Buds, with a broader stable One UI 9 rollout still pending.
