    Send it back in its box with all accessories and paperwork, after backing up and factory resetting it.

Warranty

Covered

  • Defects in materials and workmanship

    A new Google product and the parts packed with it are covered against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for one year from the date of original retail purchase.

    The standard warranty covers a battery only if it fails from a defect. Pixel Care+ adds $0 battery replacement when the battery keeps less than 80% of its original charge capacity (phones; see plan).

  • Accidents and misuse

    Damage caused by accidents is not covered.

  • Normal wear and aging

    Damage caused by normal wear and tear is not covered.

    Damage from disassembly, alterations, or servicing by anyone other than Google-authorized technicians is not covered.

  • Loss or theft

    Google's eligibility page says you may not get warranty support if the device was lost or stolen.

    Pixel Care+: $199 for 2 years or $10/mo; $59 accidental damage fee; $0 screen, back glass and battery. With Loss and Theft: $219 or $11/mo; $79 loss and theft fee.

  • How it gets fixed

    Google chooses to repair with new or refurbished parts, replace with a new or refurbished product at least equivalent, or refund the purchase price.

Good to know

  • Carrier phones

    Carrier contract versions differ: Verizon contract phones have 30 days after receipt; AT&T contract phones have 14 days after receipt. SIM cards cannot be returned.

  • Carrier service

    Returning a device does not cancel your carrier or internet service contract.

  • Promotions and bundles

    Return both the main product and the promotional product for a full refund. A promo code cannot be reused after a return.

  • Other retailers

    If you bought from another retailer, return it to them.
