Samsung Expands Certified Re-Newed Lineup with Galaxy S26 Series
Confirmed
In Short: Samsung has added the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra to its Certified Re-Newed program, offering refurbished devices at discounted prices.
Samsung has expanded its Certified Re-Newed program to include the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra series, making these flagship devices available at a lower cost. According to reports, each unit undergoes Samsung’s inspection and uses genuine Samsung parts, ensuring a 'like-new' phone experience.
The company claims that its engineers assemble each certified renewed unit using 100% genuine Samsung parts and a brand-new battery. Users can also add Samsung Care+ with Theft and Loss for additional protection against accidents, breaks, or other damage. The Galaxy S26 series features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Platform for Galaxy and includes Galaxy AI features such as Now Brief and Now Nudge.
Certified Re-Newed devices will be exclusively available via Samsung.com, with savings of at least $200 on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, $170 on the S26+, and $140 on the smallest Galaxy S26. Users can also use their current phone as a trade-in to get these devices even cheaper. In India, the Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at Rs 74,799 for the 256GB version, while the 512GB model is priced at Rs 91,799.
Samsung states that each phone is inspected, cleaned, refurbished, and tested before being sold, and receives a Samsung-certified battery, a complete data reset, and the latest available software updates. The devices are restored to a like-new condition, although minor cosmetic marks may still be possible. Users can expect a one-year company warranty with the Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S26 series.
