It looks like Samsung has stopped selling its last yearโs flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra in the US. It has been more than a month, and the smartphone is still not available for purchase on the Samsung US website. However, the company will now sell the Galaxy S24 Ultra as part of the Certified Re-Newed program, starting in its home country, South Korea. This means you will soon be able to buy a refurbished Galaxy S24 Ultra model at a lower price.
Samsung offers Certified Re-Newed Galaxy S24 series in Korea
Samsung recently announced that it would start selling Certified Re-Newed smartphones in Korea starting on March 31. The first available Certified Re-Newed smartphone lineup will be the Galaxy S24 series. The company will gradually expand its product lineup depending on market demand and consumer needs.
Under the Certified Re-Newed program, Samsung will offer returned products to consumers at a lower price than new devices. This will allow more consumers to experience the latest Galaxy AI features. It also reduces smartphone waste and promotes a circular economy.
โSamsung Electronics โGalaxy Certified Pre-Owned Phone,โ which guarantees quality, provides consumers with an additional option to purchase the flagship model. We hope that more customers will experience the โ Galaxy AIโ through this,โ a Samsung official said (translated from the Korean language).
Pricing by Model
The company will list the Galaxy S24 series under the Certified Re-Newed program on Samsung.com, offering discounts of 260,000 to 640,000 KRW compared to new models.
- Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB, 512GB, 1TB): 1,307,900 KRW, 1,367,300 KRW, 1,486,100 KRW

Each Certified Re-Newed smartphone comes with a 2-year A/S warranty, which is the same warranty period the company offers for new products. In addition to that, customers can sign up for the Samsung Care+ plan, which offers compensation for damages within a specified period. If thatโs not enough, Samsung also offers a full refund within seven days of purchase. The Korean firm may soon launch the program in the US.
