Samsung Expands Certified Re‑Newed to Germany, France and the UK With Galaxy S25 Line

Early listings show some refurbished S25 phones priced above new devices, prompting advice to wait for corrections.

Overview

  • Samsung’s manufacturer‑refurbished Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra are now on sale in Germany, France and the UK exclusively through the Certified Re‑Newed web store.
  • Each device undergoes an internal refurbishment with more than 100 quality tests, uses original Samsung parts as needed, is factory‑reset and ships with the latest software and a new IMEI on activation.
  • Certified Re‑Newed phones carry the same 24‑month warranty as new Galaxy devices, positioning the program against third‑party used offerings.
  • Multiple outlets observed a launch anomaly where some refurbished S25 listings were priced higher than Samsung’s sealed new units, with guidance for buyers to hold off pending price adjustments.
  • Samsung frames the rollout as part of its circular‑economy push and says further market expansion will depend on customer demand.
