Samsung Galaxy S22 series gets Certified Re-Newed status in the US
Samsung US has announced that the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra are now available in Certified Re-Newed form, just in time for Earth Day 2023. The program offers "like new" refurbished units that have undergone a "100-point inspection" on the company's part at prices reduced compared to those at their release.
In the case of the S23 series' predecessors, a 12GB RAM/256GB internal storage Galaxy S22 Ultra for one still goes for US$1,299.99 new from samsung.com - however, that price drops to US$1,019 (or by 21.5%) through the Certified Re-Newed program. Similarly, the S22 and S22+ are discounted by ~27% through the initiative.
Then again, there may be other options out there for those happy with a slightly older flagship in an officially refurbished state. For example, an 8/128GB S22 Ultra in black is available Renewed as part of the Amazon Climate Pledge today for just US$682.49 (or 28% less compared to a new unit) today (April 22, 2023).
On that note, consumers interested in Certified Re-Newed-style programs should be advised that they may encounter stock extremely limited in terms of the color or configuration options they might prefer at times.
