Samsung is officially bringing its in-house refurbished program to France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, giving more buyers a cheaper and more sustainable way to upgrade their phones.
The program, known as Samsung Certified Re-Newed, launches today in Germany and the UK. In France, Samsung is using a slightly different name: Refurbished Premium by Samsung. The branding changes, but the process stays exactly the same.
Returned or lightly used phones go through more than 100 quality checks, receive a deep clean, and are repaired using genuine Samsung parts where needed. These are not third-party refurbs. This is Samsung handling the entire process itself.
Galaxy S25 Leads the Rollout
At launch, the program is focused on the Galaxy S25 lineup, including the full S25 trio. Samsung says more devices will be added over time, which tracks with how the program has evolved elsewhere.
In the US, Certified Re-Newed already includes foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5. Samsung has also been expanding the lineup more frequently throughout 2025 instead of saving updates for Earth Day, which was the old pattern.
If that pace continues, it would not be surprising to see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 join the refurbished lineup once its replacement hits store shelves.
More Regions Are Coming
If Certified Re-Newed is not available where you live yet, Samsung says the expansion is far from over. The company plans to bring the program to additional markets based on demand and local consumer needs.
With flagship phones getting more expensive and hardware upgrades becoming increasingly incremental, official refurbished options make a lot of sense. Buyers save money, Samsung keeps more devices in circulation, and fewer perfectly good phones end up sitting in drawers or landfill sites.
It is a quiet expansion, but for anyone eyeing a Galaxy upgrade without paying full price, it is a meaningful one.
