- Three S26 models join the US program.
What changed
Samsung has added the Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra to its US Certified Re-Newed lineup. Its September 14 announcement lists starting prices of $759, $929 and $1,099 respectively, exclusively through Samsung.com. Samsung says the phones use genuine parts, receive new batteries and carry a one-year limited warranty.
Why it matters
A replacement battery and a stated warranty give buyers concrete terms to compare when considering a refurbished phone. The development expands the manufacturer-backed purchasing options for this generation, although the announcement alone does not establish how prices compare with competing sellers.
What remains unproven
Samsung provides no independent durability testing or stock totals in the release. Actual condition, delivery availability and the value of any trade-in require separate checking.
