Are they affordable enough?
Depending on your point of reference, those prices may seem fairly reasonable… or still absurdly high, as a brand-new S22 Ultra, for instance, continues to fetch just $799.99 with absolutely no strings attached at Best Buy after a recent new record high markdown of $400 from a list price of $1,199.99.
A new meaning for the term “like new”
For what it’s worth, these are obviously not like other refurbished devices available in other places, including the exact same 1-year manufacturer warranty as a new, unused, and untouched phone, as well as a brand-new battery, new “unique identifiers” (IMEI), and of course, “all the latest” software.
Clearly, you (and everyone around you) will never be able to notice any difference between a proper new phone and one of Samsung’s renewed units, so if you care about the environment and don’t want to see so many used components go to waste, get ready to put your money where your mouth is starting April 22, which just so happens to be, you’ve guessed it, Earth Day.
