Realme Care+ Explained: Is It An Apple Care+ Knock-Off?

Realme has launched a new service called Realme Care+, which allows users to secure their Realme smartphones. Just like Apple Care+, Realme Care+ also offers extended warranty, accidental damage protection, and screen damage protection. Just like other Chinese brands, is Realme also trying to mimic Apple?

Realme smartphone owners can subscribe to Realme Care+ for just Rs. 489. There are different tiers of Realme Care+ subscription plans that offer an extended warranty, screen replacement, and liquid damage protection.

These plans are available on Realme India's official website and they will be linked to the device's IMEI number or they can also be bought while purchasing the phone on e-commerce platforms like Flipkart.

Do note that, these services are offered by a third-party company called Servify (Service Lee Technologies Pvt. Ltd.) and it covers one repair per policy, and the company has a 3.9-star user rating on Google. There is also a processing fee that users need to pay the company during the repair process.
