Samsung has launched the Certified Re-newed Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra in South Korea, with a specific price point for each device.

The company introduced its “Galaxy Certified Used Phones” program, exclusive to the Korean market, which offers devices that have been used for a short period before being resold. This program provides consumers with an affordable alternative to buying new, sealed devices.

The prices for each model in the series vary based on storage capacity, as follows:

Samsung Galaxy S24

• 256GB – 889,900 KRW ($606.43)
• 512GB – 949,300 KRW ($647.12)

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus

• 256GB – 1,041,700 KRW ($709.86)
• 512GB – 1,101,100 KRW ($750.41)

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

• 256GB – 1,307,900 KRW ($891.35)
• 512GB – 1,367,300 KRW ($931.86)
• 1TB – 1,486,100 KRW ($1012.87)

Understanding the Certified Renewed Program

Samsung introduced the Certified Re-newed program, which offers flagship devices, including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, that were returned within 7 days of online purchase due to a change of mind or opening the box. These devices have undergone strict quality checks and are rated as top-grade products.

Note that the program includes the same after-sales service warranty as new devices and is compatible with enrollment in the damage protection plan under Samsung Care+.

Samsung Warns Consumers About Counterfeit Smartphones

Samsung has launched a certified refurbished program to combat the growing issue of counterfeit smartphones being sold online, particularly on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree. The company recently issued a warning in Australia regarding fake Galaxy devices being sold by private sellers at discounted prices.

However, it can be challenging for customers to identify counterfeit smartphones, as they are made with cheap parts and poor software that can be difficult to detect. Samsung advises consumers to purchase devices from the official website or trusted stores, and to exercise caution when buying used devices or use their new refurbished program, currently available for the Galaxy S24 series.
