Google is making some big changes to its Pixel insurance plans

Protecting your newly purchased smartphone goes beyond just attaching a screen protector or a case. Smartphone manufacturers like Apple and Samsung already offer extended warranty plans for their devices. Google has a similar extended warranty plan for its Pixel lineup of products, known as Preferred Care. However, Pixel smartphone owners can only get coverage by making monthly payments, while Samsung and Apple's offerings also provide a one-time payment option. Thankfully, Google is now looking to rectify this limitation in Preferred Care.
