Samsung has expanded its Certified Re-Newed program in the US by including last year’s flagship Galaxy S22 models in its offering. The program offers refurbished smartphones at a lower price point, with the reassurance of a brand-new battery and a 1-year warranty. Compared to refurbished phones sold on Amazon, Samsung’s program offers the additional advantage of maintaining the device’s waterproof seal.
The refurbished Galaxy S22 is available in two storage options of 128GB and 256GB, priced at $619 and $669 respectively. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is also available in two storage variants of 128GB and 256GB, priced at $919 and $1,019 respectively. The Galaxy S22+ comes in only a 128GB storage option and is priced at $769.
While Samsung’s refurbished phones may come at a higher price point than those sold on Amazon, the additional benefits are worth considering for those in the market for a high-end smartphone. The brand-new battery ensures that the device can operate at its best, while the warranty provides customers with peace of mind. Moreover, the ability to use the phone underwater without any worries is a significant advantage, making the refurbished Galaxy S22 models almost as good as brand-new ones.
The launch of Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S22 models is good news for budget-conscious smartphone buyers who are looking for a flagship phone without paying the full price. However, with the price difference between refurbished and brand-new phones being relatively small, some buyers may opt to go for the latest model, the Galaxy S23, instead. Nonetheless, Samsung’s program offers a viable option for those who want a high-quality smartphone at a lower cost.
