Google and Nexus 5 work together to protect mobile phones from breaking if users accidentally drop them.

If you've dropped your Nexus 5 accidentally, Google will allegedly let you get a replacement handset, but not without a catch, as reported by Tech Crunch.

Rumors have been going around that Google will let users replace their Nexus 5 handsets if needed. However, Google has not confirmed this allegation as of the moment, according to Tech Crunch.

According to a Google rep, Google and Nexus 5 have made the new feature more of an exception than an actual policy.

Accidental incidents of damaging the handsets, such as a water or shattered display, would require users to shoulder the bill, as reported in Tech Crunch. A mobile phone's replacement screen would cost users about 42% of purchasing a new Nexus 5 mobile phone.

As reported in Tech Crunch, Google and Nexus 5 have implemented these new policies for handset replacement of Nexus 5 mobile phones.

-The Nexus 5 mobile phone should be purchased from a Google play store. Users won't get their handsets replaced if they purchased their phones somewhere else.

-It's a single time privilege available to users.

-The mobile phone must have been purchased within the past year.

Tech Crunch reported that the new Google and Nexus 5 privilege may currently availed by customers in the United States only.
