Context: Google is offering a limited-time opportunity for existing Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 owners to purchase Pixel Care+, a protection plan that covers accidental damage, drops, and theft protection, beyond the standard warranty. This second chance to buy Pixel Care+ is available through August 2, provided the Pixel device is fully functional and free of physical damage. Eligible devices include certain Pixel models, excluding the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and Pixel Watch.
