Samsung has a global portal that lets you check the warranty of its products, such as phones, tablets, or TVs. However, if you reside in the United States of America or Canada, you can check the warranty of your Samsung phone or TV online using the IMEI or serial number.
Alternatively, you can ask the Samsung support team to mail the warranty status of your device by sending your query along with the serial number to smartservicewarranty@samsung.com.
