Samsung is making warranty repairs easier with the introduction of Android 17 and One UI 9. A new "Warranty and Care" menu in the Settings section of One UI 9 provides detailed information about the device in use, along with warranty periods, expiration dates, and Samsung Care+ eligibility for all linked Galaxy devices. Users can easily check the warranty and coverage status across their entire Galaxy ecosystem from a single hub within the settings menu.

Additionally, Bixby in One UI 9 supports diagnostics and troubleshooting through natural language prompts, and submitting a repair will display the estimated cost for the work.

Samsung's advertising of this feature includes an unusual twist - AI-generated guinea pigs. These digital creatures have been featured in Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 marketing, appearing on stage during Unpacked and in subsequent ads. While the inclusion of AI-generated guinea pigs seems out of place, it has certainly piqued interest. Despite the amusing first impression, the use of AI in advertising remains a growing trend that some may find concerning.
