Samsung Launches Refurbished Galaxy S26 Series With New Batteries

Samsung has expanded its Certified ReNewed program to include its latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra, offering refurbished models with new batteries and warranties at a discount. The company announced the addition on September 14, 2026, making the devices available for purchase through its official website. The Certified ReNewed program provides used devices that have been reconditioned by Samsung engineers. Each phone is rebuilt using 100% genuine Samsung parts and includes a brand-new battery. The devices undergo a 147-point inspection and are sold with the same one-year limited warranty as new phones. Buyers can also add Samsung Care with Theft and Loss protection, which includes unlimited battery repairs and free screen and back glass replacements. Pricing for the refurbished models starts at $759 for the Galaxy S26, $929 for the Galaxy S26 Plus, and $1,099 for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. These prices represent a savings of approximately $141, $171, and $201, respectively, compared to the launch prices of the new models. The refurbished devices are available in the same six color options as their new counterparts.
