Samsung has introduced its Certified Re-Newed (CRN) program in India, making refurbished Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra devices available for purchase. The company states that each CRN device undergoes a thorough inspection, cleaning, refurbishment, and testing process to meet Samsung’s standards for quality, performance, and reliability.
Before sale, Samsung resets every CRN device to remove personal data and installs the latest software updates. Each device receives a Samsung-certified battery, and if necessary, technicians replace parts with genuine Samsung components. This process aims to ensure that customers receive devices in like-new condition.
The CRN Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra come with a one-year warranty. Samsung offers these devices at up to 85% of their original launch price, providing a more affordable option for consumers. Customers can purchase these refurbished models through the official Samsung website and the Samsung Shop app.
Pricing is where this program earns its appeal. Samsung is selling these Certified Re-Newed units for up to 85% of what the phone cost at launch — meaning depending on the configuration, you could be looking at a real chunk off the original price. The exact number will shift based on storage variant, colour, and the condition grade assigned to each unit, so it's worth checking current listings on Samsung's site or the Shop app rather than assuming a flat discount.
Buying through those official channels also means you're getting Samsung's own terms on the sale, not whatever a third-party seller decides to offer.
