Samsung is now gearing up to enhance the battery breathe as it is offering countless battery repairs to Samsung Care+ in the USA, but the plans are increasing in price by $2 per month starting May 2024. 

Samsung Care+ is an extra insurance package for Galaxy devices, which in a way protects the device beyond the regular warranty of Samsung just to offer extended protection. Now the giants are adding an extra layer to the convenience of users by releasing an upgrade, which brings facilities regarding batteries, such as replacements. 

Here’s the question: does battery replacement require any terms and conditions? 

The simple answer is, of course, yes! Battery life plays an essential role within smartphones, which users never want to compromise. Now Samsung Care+ and Care+ are getting unlimited battery repairs, but with some things to consider, which are mentioned below: 

  • The most important factor is good battery health; users can only receive a new battery if a diagnostic test reveals that their current battery has degraded to 79% capacity or lower.
  • The device can’t have other existing damage to qualify for a free battery replacement. 
  • Battery repairs will only be available through Samsung’s walk-in or mail-in services. 

Presently, these plans cost anywhere from $8 to $18 per month, based on the device, but the price will go up to $10 to $20 per month in May 2024.

Published

Samsung has already started rolling out its latest and is awaiting the One UI 6.1 software update to its 2023 flagship smartphones, which offers plenty of Galaxy AI features, including the most popular Circle to Search with Google, for which Samsung has already praised Google. Now Google is gearing up to upgrade this feature. 

The Circle to Search feature permits you to search directly by just circling any image or text on the display without changing the app. Google plays the lead role in this Circle to Search feature, and now it is setting up to enhance the facilities within the Circle to Search feature for more convenience. 

Google announced that Circle to Search will be able to translate content on the display in the coming weeks, leading to speculation. To access this feature, all you have to do is long-press the home button or the navigation bar to bring up Circle to Search, and tap the translate icon. Then, instantly, the Circle to Search feature will automatically detect the language of the content on the display and translate it to your preferred language. 

With this upgrade, it will not be asked to draw a circle around it. For instance, if you open any PDF file that is in Japanese, you can convene Circle to Search, hit the translate icon, and it will convert the language of the menu to English effortlessly. 

Presently, for translating content that is on the display, first you have to take a screenshot, then go to Google Translate, and then select that image. Then the app will detect the language in the screenshot and convert it to the preferred language. This seems pretty lengthy since for this you have to switch between applications, take a screenshot, then select, and more. Now Google is upgrading the Circle to Search feature, which will offer the facility to translate features seamlessly.
