Samsung has added the Galaxy S26 series to its Certified Re-Newed refurbished phone program:
- Galaxy S26
- Galaxy S26+
- Galaxy S26 Ultra
The devices are refurbished with original parts and new batteries and are sold at prices approximately 15-16% lower than those of the new models. The program is available in some markets in the US and Europe, but has not yet been offered in Türkiye. The warranty period varies by country.
Why it matters
This option could influence price-sensitive consumers choosing between new and refurbished products as they turn to the latest-generation Galaxy devices. The fact that the warranty period varies by country shows that the comparison cannot be based solely on the sale price and that local conditions are also decisive in the purchasing decision. The program’s limitation to some markets in the US and Europe means that, for users in Türkiye, this price advantage has not yet directly become a purchasing option. The open question for Türkiye is whether the program will be offered in the country and, if so, which warranty terms will apply; in addition, the date inconsistency pointed out by the council requires the timeliness of the report to be clarified.
Background
Türkiye is not a new name in the FikirPilot archive: we have published 104 reports mentioning this name in the last 90 days; the most recent is dated September 26, 2026.
