What warranties actually cover
The Phone Warranty Calculator shows how much warranty is left on your phone and when it expires. Enter your purchase date and warranty type, and it tells you the remaining time.
Standard manufacturer warranties are usually 1 year (2 years in the UAE). Apple gives 1 year of limited warranty plus optional AppleCare; Samsung offers 1-2 years depending on the market, with accidental-damage coverage on some models.
Important: standard warranties cover manufacturing defects, not accidental damage like a cracked screen or water damage. Those need AppleCare+, Samsung Care+, or separate insurance. Knowing what's covered helps you decide whether to extend or insure.
Warranty coverage:
- Manufacturing defects — covered
- Cracked screen — NOT covered (needs care plan)
- Water damage — NOT covered
- Battery under 80% within warranty — usually covered

Extended warranty — AppleCare+ and Samsung Care+
AppleCare+ costs around ₹8,000-₹13,000 in India and covers accidental damage (one screen repair per year) plus hardware defects for 2 years from purchase. For a ₹1,49,900 iPhone 17 Pro Max, that's about 7-9% of the price — reasonable if you're accident-prone.
Samsung Care+ is typically ₹5,000-₹9,000 and covers accidental damage with a per-claim deductible. It is generally cheaper than Apple's plan but provides similar peace of mind for a high-end Galaxy.
For phones under ₹20,000, the cost of extended warranty often exceeds the phone's remaining resale value, so it rarely makes sense financially. Use this calculator together with our resale value tool to check.
Understanding phone warranty coverage
Standard manufacturer warranty typically covers hardware defects for 1 year from purchase date (proof of purchase required), but explicitly excludes accidental damage, water damage, and normal wear — that's what extended protection plans are for.
International warranty coverage varies by brand: some manufacturers honour warranty claims globally, others only within the country of purchase — worth checking before buying abroad if you plan to travel with the device.
Tips
- Keep your purchase receipt or invoice — it's usually required to validate a warranty claim.
- Standard warranty doesn't cover accidental damage — check if your card or an add-on plan covers that separately.
- Register your device with the manufacturer where possible — it can speed up warranty claims.
- Check international warranty terms specifically if you bought the phone in a different country than where you'll use it.
More questions
Does warranty cover a cracked screen?
No — standard manufacturer warranty covers hardware defects, not accidental damage like drops or cracks. Screen protection typically requires separate insurance.
Is warranty transferable if I sell my phone?
Usually yes, tied to the device's serial number rather than the original owner, but always confirm with the specific manufacturer's policy.
