    Samsung brings Galaxy S23 series back to save the planet

    Samsung is bringing the beloved Galaxy S23 series back into the spotlight. The flagship trio released in 2023 is still in stock, but now, it's also available at lower prices through Samsung's Certified Re-Newed (CRN) program.

    Marking the celebration of Earth Day, Samsung has just re-released the Galaxy S23 lineup through its Certified Re-Newed online store.

    The CRN program aims to put used phones back into circulation, thus reducing waste and giving prospective customers more options to buy high-end phones for lower prices.

    Think of it like this: The Galaxy S24 series went on sale at the beginning of the year, and many Galaxy S23 series users leveraged the trade-in program to upgrade from the S23 to the S24 at a discount.

    Now, instead of throwing away or recycling those old phones, Samsung is bringing used Galaxy S23 models back into circulation, but not after extensive testing and refurbishing.

    How much does a CRN Galaxy S23 phone cost?

    Before any used Galaxy phones are sold through the CRN store, certified Samsung technicians run extensive tests consisting of 147 points of inspection. They replace parts where needed using genuine components.

    Furthermore, every Certified Re-Newed phone comes with a year-long warranty and a brand-new battery.

    As far as the Galaxy S23 series is concerned, it is available through the CRN store starting today for the following prices:

    • 128GB and 256GB Galaxy S23 costs $619 and $669, respectively.
    • 256GB and 512GB Galaxy S23+, available for $769 and $869.
    • 256GB and 512GB Galaxy S23 Ultra, available for $919 and $1,069.

    All three models are available only in one color — Phantom Black. And even though these Galaxy S23 phones originate mostly from trade-up customers, you can also buy one of these Certified Re-Newed devices at a lower price through trade-in. The program lets you save up to an extra $484.

    Lastly, Samsung says that if you use the Shop Samsung app to buy a CRN Galaxy S23, you get a minimum of $300 guaranteed trade-in value.
