Japanese term or phrase: 機器補償
I'm thinking of saying "device coverage" or "device warranty". Which one sounds more natural?

Explanation:
If you pay for this service and if your device (phone, TV etc.) malfunction, you can get it repaired or replaced.

Plan A covers only a specific type of devices.
Plan B offers a wider range of device coverage (or device warranty).

Thanks for your help.

Device warranty
Explanation:
I think warranty is the better choice for this translation. It refers to replacement of the device if it malfunctions. When I think of coverage, I think of data coverage for devices rather than replacement.

To me, device warranty sounds more accurate and natural.

You could also say that the device warranty under Plan B has a wider range of coverage.
