If you’re looking to save some money, Samsung announced that its latest Galaxy S26 series is now available in its Certified Re-Newed program.<\/p>\n

Today (Sept. 14), Samsung announced<\/a> that its Certified Re-Newed program has welcomed the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra. You can view this program as Samsung’s refurbished phone line. As always, the company says its “Certified Re-Newed devices offer a like-new phone experience.” It has taken in Galaxy S26 devices and equipped them with new (genuine) parts and a “brand-new battery.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,099. This is roughly a $200 price drop from the standard, new flagship starting price (256GB). When it comes to the S26 and S26 Plus, the program shifts these prices to $759 and $929, respectively.<\/p>\n

Samsung says you can only purchase these devices from the Certified Re-Newed program at its main store. The post states consumers can trade in their current phone for a Certified Re-Newed phone and receive “up to $720” in credit. You should check the specifics of this during purchase.<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s more, Samsung says if you are purchasing a Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S26 device, you can add Samsung Care Plus (with Loss and Theft)<\/a> protection. This protection plan features unlimited battery repairs and free screen replacements.<\/p>\n

We’re a couple of months early, but Samsung brought the Galaxy S25 series into the Re-Newed program<\/a> last November. The price drops were fairly similar to what we’re seeing this year for the S26 series. Costs dropped anywhere from $150 to $260. The model and configuration (RAM\/storage) made the difference here. The “cheapest” option last year was the Galaxy S25 with 256GB of storage for $709.<\/p>\n

Joining the Galaxy S25 was the Galaxy Z Fold 6, as well as the Galaxy S25 Edge and the Flip 6.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing this post (around 3:15 pm ET), the devices are not listed on Samsung’s storefront. That should change. If you’re interested, check back later today or perhaps later this week. You shouldn’t fret about the refurbished tag; you’ll still receive all of Samsung’s newest features. Now Nudge and Now Brief were highlighted, and if you’re getting the Galaxy S26 Ultra, you’ll find the Privacy Display<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Internally, the Galaxy S26 series features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a> chipset.<\/p>\n
