Return an incorrect device under warranty
Important: Google repair isn't available in Japan and Taiwan.
When you make a claim for a replacement or repair, make sure to send the device covered by the warranty. If we receive any other device, you aren't eligible to receive a replacement or repair under the warranty.
If you send the incorrect device as part of a warranty claim:
- Google contacts you based on the contact details you provide in the warranty claim.
- You can let us arrange to ship your device back to you at your cost through our carrier partner:
- You may be required to sign for the receipt of this shipment.
- If the device goes missing or is damaged during shipment, Google isn't responsible.
- If we can't reach you after 60 days, we destroy the device.
If we believe you made a false warranty claim, we reserve the right to destroy phones or any item we receive. If you send an item other than the one referenced in your warranty claim, this may be considered a false claim.

Temporary authorizations for warranty replacements
Google Store may offer advanced replacement warranty service.
- We place a temporary hold on your credit card while we process your warranty request.
- If you receive a warranty replacement, you aren’t charged for the replacement device.
- When you place your replacement order, your payment method is temporarily authorized for the full amount of the device.
- Based on your card issuer's policies, payment authorizations typically remain on your account for 1 to 21 business days.
Temporary holds
The temporary hold is just an authorization request, not an actual or duplicate charge on your account. If your credit card remains on hold 21 days after you place your warranty replacement order, contact your bank or credit card company.
Replacement devices
Replacement devices may be new or refurbished based on location and inventory. Every refurbished device goes through a careful inspection and refurbishment process. We test extensively and replace the battery, cover glass, and back case with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts so the device will look and operate like new.
Standard exchange
Important: Devices must be sent back within 14 days of creating a standard exchange. If received outside of this period, we may send your device back to you.
After we receive the device, we’ll send your replacement as soon as we can. This may take 1 to 2 days. In some regions such as Australia, it takes around 5 to 7 days to ship.
To check the status of your standard exchange, go to your repair and replacement history.

Manage issues with device after a replacement or repair
Important: Devices refurbished from retailers come with a 90-day warranty instead of the original warranty period.
Because of a claim, you might get:
- Replacement (pristine or refurbished) or in-warranty repair by Google or an authorized repair partner
Usually, your manufacturer's warranty covers the replacement or repaired device for whichever is longer:
- As long as the original warranty lasts
- 90 days
This term depends among manufacturers, so consult the warranty for your product. You may also have more legal rights depending on your country or region.
