Samsung has expanded its Certified Re-Newed program to include foldable smartphones for the first time. Customers can now purchase refurbished Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 devices, offering a more affordable way to own premium Samsung phones while maintaining manufacturer quality.
The Certified Re-Newed devices undergo thorough inspection by Samsung specialists, are repaired with genuine Samsung parts if necessary, and come with a certified new battery. Each phone also includes a one-year manufacturer warranty, providing buyers with the same after-sales support as a new device.
By including foldables in the program, Samsung is extending its value-oriented option to one of the most expensive categories in its lineup. The refurbished Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 offer significant savings compared to buying brand new devices, making foldable technology more accessible to a wider range of customers.
The Certified Re-Newed Galaxy Z Fold 5 is available in Phantom Black for $1,169 (256GB) or $1,219 (512GB), while the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes in Graphite starting at $649 for 256GB and $699 for 512GB. These prices represent savings of several hundred dollars, making foldables a more affordable option for interested buyers.
Including foldables in the Certified Re-Newed program demonstrates Samsung's confidence in the durability of its newer designs. While some may still opt for a new mid-range phone at a similar price, the program provides a safe and affordable entry point for those eager to experience foldable technology without the high cost of a new device.
