If you were worried about having an accident with your Pixel phone, Google offered an insurance program called Preferred Care to help protect your device. This service would allow you to have repairs done or receive replacements in the case of a mishap. We’re using the past tense here because Google has now replaced this program with a new one.


Today, the Mountain View-based firm launched a new device protection program called Pixel Care Plus. This program is in partnership with Asurion, which diverges from Google’s former collaboration with Assurant for Preferred Care. In the announcement, Google claims that the new program offers “a higher level of coverage, service, and peace of mind for Google hardware owners.”
