Samsung Expands Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S26 Program in India
Samsung is offering renewed versions of its Galaxy S26 phones in India.
These phones were previously owned or returned, but Samsung checks and repairs them before selling them again.
The company says faulty parts are replaced with genuine Samsung parts.
Each phone is cleaned, tested, reset, and updated.
Buyers can purchase the phones through Samsung’s website or app.
Samsung has not yet said exactly how much the renewed models will cost.
The original Galaxy S26 prices were Rs 87,999 and Rs 1,39,999 for the Ultra model.
Every renewed phone comes with a one-year warranty, although colors, storage, availability, and prices may vary.
Samsung has added the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra to its Certified Re-Newed program in India.
Renewed devices will be sold through Samsung’s official website and Samsung Shop app after inspection, cleaning, refurbishment, and testing.
The Galaxy S26 originally launched at Rs 87,999, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra launched at Rs 1,39,999.
Samsung has not released exact renewed-device prices; it says units could cost up to 85% of their original launch price.
Each renewed phone includes genuine replacement parts where needed, a quality-checked battery, updated software, and a one-year warranty.
