Google Fi device protection switches provider, 2x loss/theft claims

Like Pixel Preferred Care earlier this year, Google Fi device protection now has a new “device protection provider” with one benefit improving.

Device protection provides “additional coverage beyond your device’s manufacturer’s warranty” for phones (and smartwatches) purchased via the Google Fi store. It covers two instances of accidental damage, like drops, spills, or cracked screens, in any rolling 12-month period. There’s also “no limit” to coverage for mechanical breakdowns.

An updated support article details how Asurion is the new device protection provider for most phones shipped on or after July 14, 2025. Before that, it was Assurant, with Asurion/uBreakiFix already being the “authorized repair partner” during that period.

In terms of plan improvements, Google Fi device protection now covers up to two “loss, theft, or physical damage claims in any rolling 12-month period” (outside of New York), This is up from just one claim.
