Samsung Expands Certified Re-Newed Program to France, Germany and the UK
Following launches in the U.S. and South Korea, Samsung’s manufacturer-certified refurbished devices are now more widely available at an affordable price with trusted performance, quality and warranty
SEOUL, Korea – Jan. 13, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it has expanded the availability of its Certified Re-Newed (CRN) program to select markets. By providing high-quality renewed Galaxy devices backed by trusted certification, the program makes Samsung Galaxy flagship devices more accessible to consumers while underscoring Samsung’s ongoing commitment to the circular economy.
“We’re excited to expand our Certified Re-Newed program in European markets to provide customers with more options for purchasing flagship devices,” said Jun Kim, EVP and Head of Galaxy Value Innovation Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “While contributing to the circular economy, we hope more customers can experience our latest innovations, including Galaxy AI.”
▲ Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra are available exclusively on Samsung.com in select markets.
Samsung’s Trusted Quality Standards Behind Every Device
Starting with the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung offers Certified Re-Newed Galaxy flagship devices in Germany and the UK and Refurbished Premium by Samsung (Reconditionné Premium par Samsung) devices in France.
Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed devices undergo an in-house expert inspection and refurbishment process, which includes rigorous cleaning and more than 100 quality tests. In France, Germany and the UK, consistent quality is ensured by limiting eligibility for the CRN manufacturing process to top-grade returned products only. Each device is reconditioned to look and perform to Samsung’s high standards using genuine Samsung parts1.
During the restoration process, all devices are reset to delete personal data and ensure they are sold in a condition equivalent to that of a brand-new device2. After refurbishment, CRN devices are packaged in a new box made from recyclable materials and include the same in-box items as a new device.
CRN devices come with the same warranty as new Galaxy devices, distinguishing them from third-party refurbished or secondhand devices3. Additionally, devices sold in France, Germany and the UK are issued new IMEI numbers and updated with the latest software to ensure security and long-term usability.
Samsung will continue to introduce the program to additional markets based on market demand and consumer needs.
Availability
