Samsung has widened its Certified Re‑newed programme to Europe, offering refurbished devices in major markets including the UK, France and Germany. Previously available only in the US and South Korea, the scheme now gives European customers access to more affordable, recent Galaxy models, starting with the Galaxy S25 range, while promoting a more sustainable approach to smartphone ownership.

All refurbished units undergo extensive internal checks, including deep cleaning and more than 100 quality tests, and are restored exclusively with genuine Samsung components. Only top‑grade returns qualify for resale, and each device comes with a full manufacturer warranty and a fresh IMEI number. The company ships them in new packaging with the same in‑box items as a new device, aiming to offer buyers a near‑new experience at a lower cost.

Samsung sells these refurbished models exclusively through Samsung.com rather than through retail partners, positioning the programme as a direct, controlled way to extend product lifecycles and reduce electronic waste. The expansion reflects the growing momentum behind refurbished tech and the circular economy across Europe, where consumers are increasingly looking for high‑quality alternatives to brand‑new smartphones.
