Samsung's Certified Re-Newed program (https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/certified-re-newed-phones/) is growing in the United States with the addition of the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung made the official announcement today and welcomed the flagship trio to the Certified Re-Newed store.
Galaxy S26: Starting at $759.
Galaxy S26+: Starting at $929.
Galaxy S26 Ultra: Starting at $1,099.
Each phone is available in the original six color options. However, as of this writing, the S26+ is missing from the Certified Re-Newed store. It should be added any moment now or may already be live when you read this.
How are Certified Re-Newed Galaxy phones different?
If you're new to the Certified Re-Newed concept, these are used Galaxy devices that Samsung reconditioned using 100% genuine parts. They are sold for lower prices than the brand-new ones.
Unlike other used phones third parties might sell, Samsung's Certified Re-Newed devices come with all-new batteries and a one-year limited warranty. They are used but thoroughly reconditioned and pass a rigorous 147-point inspection before they're ready for resale.
Certified Re-Newed phones ship with the latest firmware available and are factory reset. After unboxing, the initial setup is identical to a brand-new phone's.
Another perk is that Certified Re-Newed devices are eligible for Samsung Care+ with Theft and Loss. You can subscribe to Care+ for a fee and enjoy protection against accidents, breaks, or other damage, including unlimited battery repairs and $0 cracked screen and back panel repairs.
Furthermore, because Certified Re-Newed phones are sold directly through the usual Samsung online shop, you can lower the prices further through a trade-in. You can exchange your old phone for a discount on one of the Galaxy S26 Re-Newed Certified flagships.
Of course, if you want to buy new, you still can. The Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra are still available brand-new at Samsung's online store for the usual starting prices: $899, $1,099, and $1,299.
Samsung's Certified Re-Newed program is also live in select European countries (https://www.sammobile.com/news/heres-what-samsungs-certified-re-newed-phones-cost-in-europe/) and in India (https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-refurbished-galaxy-smartphones-launched-india/). The S26 series may join the Certified Re-Newed lineup in those other regions soon.
