Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it is now offering the Galaxy S26 series — Samsung’s third-generation AI phones — as part of its Samsung Certified Re-Newed (CRN) programme. Backed by Samsung’s trusted certification, Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra are now more accessible to consumers at an affordable price, with trusted performance, quality and warranty.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra features the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S series device, an industry-leading camera system and the most intuitive, proactive and adaptive Galaxy AI experiences. It also introduces a built-in Privacy Display, which keeps content clear for the user while limiting what others can see.¹

With seven generations of OS upgrades and security updates, the Galaxy S26 series delivers long lasting performance and durability consumers expect — making premium technology more accessible without compromise.

Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra Certified Re-Newed undergo an in-house expert inspection and refurbishment process, which includes rigorous cleaning and quality tests. Each device is reconditioned to look and perform to Samsung’s high standards using genuine Samsung parts². 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 device.³
