One of the ways a buyer can avoid burning a whole through their wallets when purchasing a new phone is opting for a refurbished model. Samsung does sell some refurbished models even for its flagship Galaxy S series, but now, it appears that we can soon expect to see newer models being offered from this refurbished category.
For those unaware, a refurbished phone is basically devices that any company services and brings back to “new” condition while still offering the same warranty. The South Korean tech giant offers a number of models through what it calls Re-Newed segment, which includes the Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy S21, and even the Galaxy S10. The availability of the models are based on regions, but, typically you won’t find a current generation model also being listed on the refurbished list.
But this might soon change, as Samsung confirmed in a statement to TechRadar that it plans on expanding the range of its Re-Newed smartphones to include newer models in the near future. In other words, we can expect the Galaxy S22 lineup to also be offered in the refurbished category sometime soon. The Re-Newed models are typically more affordable than the regular models, so it should make these high end models attractive for customers.
Unlike a second hand model,the refurbished/renewed models are typically tested by engineers and also come with some new part replacements to make them good as new. There are third party companies that offer refurbished ones for cheaper prices than their MRP, but brands like Apple and Samsung have their own offering as well.
