If you are interested in buying a Samsung phone but want to save some money, you have probably considered buying a refurbished phone. Buying refurbished technology has become an extremely popular way to save money on gadgets.
However, Samsung's renewal program, called Re-Newed, doesn't sell the company's latest devices. In the UK, the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series are the only ones sold, while in the US they are joined by the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Note 10. But if you want the latest Galaxy S22 or other devices like the Galaxy A53 or tablets, you're out of luck.
However, that will change very soon. In a statement to TechRadar, Samsung confirmed that it plans to expand its Re-Newed lineup to include new smartphones in the future, so we may see future models like the Galaxy S23, or possibly current models, available at a lower cost. .
Reformed: what's up?
Refurbished or refurbished phones are used devices with a big difference. Instead of just being resold, these devices are tested by engineers to make sure they're up to scratch, and parts are often replaced or repaired to make sure the device is like new.
This type of phone has been sold for years, but with the global cost of living crisis in recent years, the revamped technology has become extremely popular. In fact, these devices typically cost a bit less than their newer siblings, though they work just as well.
Refurbished third-party stores have popped up to sell these types of devices, but many brands also sell their own refurbished technology, such as Apple. Samsung has also dabbled in doing that, but as we've already discussed, it hasn't kept up with the latest devices it offers.
Good news from Samsung
Thanks to various global factors, money is tight for many people around the world, which is why refurbished devices are especially tempting.
As the largest phone company in the world, many people see Samsung phones as their first port of call for a new device, but since the company doesn't offer its new phones through Re-Newed, people should look into a renewal. third parties. brands to buy newer devices at low prices.
However, Samsung refurbishing its own phones might be better than letting third-party companies do it. Since Samsung has easy access to its own components, the process could be cheaper and easier, saving the buyer some money. Plus, the engineers doing the refurbishment would be trained by the company itself, meaning refurbished phones would potentially meet a much higher standard (and buyers would have peace of mind).
Samsung lets you trade in old phones for cash on newer phones, which means you probably have a large inventory of used phones that you could easily restore. Therefore, it is to be expected that there will be a great offer for buyers.
And, like Apple, Samsung has many physical stores around the world. So instead of ordering your refurbished phone and having it delivered to your doorstep, you can pick it up at the store in person and check it out before you pick it up. home.
So Samsung extending its Re-Newed range to newer phones is great news and will hopefully encourage many more fans of the company to buy used devices. Now, hopefully, the brand will start doing the same with its A-series phones and tablets as well.
