Samsung Launches Official 'Certified Re-Newed' Refurbished Smartphone Program

Lucknow : In a strategic move to make premium technology more accessible, Samsung has officially introduced its ‘Certified Re-Newed’ program in India. This company-backed initiative offers consumers a trusted marketplace to purchase flagship and mid-range Galaxy smartphones at significantly reduced price points without compromising on quality.

The program aims to bridge the gap for budget-conscious consumers aspiring to own premium tech, while simultaneously promoting a more sustainable product lifecycle. By formalizing the refurbished segment, Samsung is looking to establish a higher standard of trust and security in a traditionally fragmented secondhand market.

“The Certified Re-Newed programme reflects our approach by offering a trusted pathway to premium experiences at more accessible price points,” said Sumit Walia, Vice President, Head of D2C Business & Corporate Marketing, Samsung India, emphasizing the brand's commitment to quality and reliability.

Rigorous Testing and Manufacturer Warranty
To erase the skepticism often associated with pre-owned devices, Samsung subjects every phone to a rigorous, multi-step in-house refurbishment process. This includes:

Comprehensive Inspection: Detailed structural and functional testing.

Genuine Replacements: Restoration using 100% authentic Samsung parts.

Data Security: Complete data wiping and factory resets for user privacy.

Up-to-Date Software: Installation of the latest software updates to ensure optimal longevity.

To further guarantee peace of mind, all Certified Re-Newed devices are repackaged in brand-new boxes and come with a standard one-year manufacturer warranty—matching the exact assurance provided with brand-new Galaxy devices. This initiative marks a significant step forward in offering eco-conscious, high-performance tech alternatives in the Indian smartphone market.
