Overview
- Samsung's Certified Re‑Newed program now includes Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, S25 Ultra, and Z Fold 6 in the U.S., with listings live months earlier than usual.
- Refurbished pricing starts at $709 for the S25 (256GB) and $1,429 for the Z Fold 6 (256GB), and devices come with a one‑year warranty, new genuine batteries, and a reported 147‑point inspection and new IMEI.
- Some models are not broadly available in refurb form yet, with Galaxy S25 Edge and Z Flip 6 listed but showing out of stock.
- Retail promotions intensified: Amazon set a new low on the 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 around $1,680 in Jet Black, while Samsung.com is offering free doubled storage and enhanced trade‑in credits up to $1,000, with some configurations $600 off without a trade‑in.
- Samsung’s first tri‑fold phone (model SM‑F968B/DS) gained IMDA certification in Singapore, signaling an approaching launch; reports of limited initial supply and a ~$3,000 price remain unconfirmed.
