Samsung now sells its own refurbished Galaxy phones on Amazon, starting at $489, with a one-year warranty that third-party sellers do not offer.
Samsung has started selling its own refurbished phones on Amazon. The program is called Certified Re-Newed. Prices start at $489. Samsung already sold these phones on its own website, so this adds a second place to buy them.
Samsung lists 14 versions of seven models. That means two storage sizes for each phone. The models are the Galaxy S24 FE, S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra.
Many refurbished phones come from third-party sellers, and buyers rarely know what was done to them. Samsung says its phones are inspected and repaired with genuine parts if needed. They then pass a 147-point quality check. Each one ships in a new box with accessories and a one-year warranty.
The newer Galaxy S26 phones are not on Amazon. Samsung sells refurbished S26 models on its own site. Android Police expects them to reach Amazon later, but no date has been given. Prices for each model were not listed, only the $489 starting point.
If you want a cheaper Galaxy phone, Samsung's own refurbished ones on Amazon start at $489 and include a one-year warranty.
