The self-repair service announced by Google is almost the same as Samsung's recently announced " Self-Repair Program " and Apple's " Self Service Program " announced in November last year . Since major smartphone makers have announced self-repair services in quick succession, it is highly likely that such services will be announced by other major companies in the future.

 It is not known if this service will be available in Japan, but it seems that it will not be easy to introduce the service in Japan due to the big barrier of technical suitability.
Recently, major companies have been active in guaranteeing and expanding "user rights" such as long-term software update warranty and this self-repair program. This move will greatly improve the reliability of users, and it is expected that it will spread further in the future.
