Hi everyone,

If you just bought a new Samsung phone and want to make sure it wasn't pre-activated, here is the fastest way to check right out of the box.

​Navigate to:

Settings → About Phone → Samsung Care+, check if you see 30 days left.

​Because Samsung offers a strict 30-day window to opt into Care+ from the exact moment a device is first turned on, seeing "30 days left to sign up" confirms it's a completely fresh activation. If it was pre-activated earlier, that countdown timer would be lower.

I am very old samsung user, using since 2013 - S4. But I got to know it today 😅.

​What other shortcuts do you use to double-check official warranty or activation dates? Let's share in the comments!
