If you don't take Samsung's word on their Renewed Phones web site that they put in a new battery, there's a free app called Accu-Battery that will monitor several charges to 100% and compares the charged amount against the battery's rated capacity. If it's 100% of rated capacity, it's (functionally) new.

Buying used from the internet vs renewed from Samsung is very different. Renewed is like a new phone, 100% new battery, new IMEI, full Samsung 1-year warranty and eligible for their paid extension. So not even close to a regular "mint" on on the used market.

S21/22/23 will only get you 4 years worth of updates, the S24 will get you 7 years of updates. The S22 is widely regarded as the worst pick due to reduced battery capacity etc. Better pick S23 or S24 if possible.
Otherwise consider the S24 FE which can be found on sale with some pre-paid carriers at times.

Ordered s24+. Chatted with samsung support asked where tradein is going, some 3rd party or directly to samsung. Rep said directly to samsung. I'll still write a note and take pics, videos of every millimeter of the phone.

Do i need to include accessories that came with my phone? I have the original box and untouched accessories but i'm not sure if samsung even wants a charger, usb cable.

Just the phone, no accessories, make sure you reset the phone before sending it

I can't see the same price of $319 for 128gb Galaxy S24. Is this deal still active?
You need to trade in ( almost any phone ) will get you the 300 trade in ""enchanced bonus trade in". The $319 price is after that trade in

This is not an app only deal. I see the S24 128gb in stock right now on desktop browser. You just need to trade in a phone that gets you a $300 trade in to knock the price down from $619 to $319.

Purchased in March. No, never again. Certified renewed phones are restored to new condition but I'm
not repeating two months of hell dealing with Samsung. I eventually prevailed with a charge back but time lost is time stolen. They have no honor. Assurances in writing from agents mean nothing. One common scam is promising a credit back "after it ships" which never happens. I received a phone which had a software issue which is likely a rare occurrence. Told me to buy again at a higher price but no worries will credit you back after it ships. They also failed to transfer the trade in credit.

Two things to know if you buy anyway. First is "join H" and screenshot the extra $50 CB that pops up. Secondly scroll down and click "other smart phone" for $300 trade-in CR if they still offer that.

Questions for those who had bought a renewed phone before from Samsung, how was the condition of the phone? any blemishes? new battery?
new screen, new battery , new modem , new ESN. Can't tell the diff between certified renewed and brand new. What you don't get is any extension of software updates.

What do you mean no updates? Why would scumsung not update their refurbished phones? Is the s24+ i ordered stuck with android 13/14 indefinitely? No 7 years updates?

I just tried to replicate this deal via the links provided. I am seeing higher prices for all the above refurbished and my trade-in wasn't that hot. Therefore, I opened up a chat and was told I needed to log into my EPP account and also provide him all my EPP account info. I have an S22 Ultra and the trade-in value via the chat was $300, which brought the price of the S24+ refurbished to the deals price of $499. Previous trade-in checks on the Samsung site, my S22 ultra was worth $220. However, the chat guy was able to get me an S25 new Edge quote with a $500(!) trade-in at $599. He also offered me the $500 trade-in on a new S25+ 512 GB, bringing that to $799. Anyhow, I was hoping the price in the post was without a trade-in because I needed a phone to gift my son. Using chat sales and EPP takes $120 off of any of the newer phones as well as refurbished. And, I believe the trade-ins are more generous via EPP. I am hanging on to my current phone but this was an eye opener.

Anyone know how much the S22 regularly trades in for?

It's $150, and $300 credit for my S8+.... If it's worth just paying $150 for like $300+ in trade-in credit, I'd say it's worth the purchase just for a future trade-up.

They lied to you. I asked this questions on every trade in I did in the past and they gave me the same answer as what you got, as well as the exact same Hyla mobile shipping address for trade in, which is obviously no Samsung.
You also have to wait 30 business days (which can be translated into about 6 weeks or more) to get your trade in process complete, which is out of your return window.
And then, they will ask you 2-3 days more on the last day to complete the trade in process.
This exact pattern happens on my last 3 trade in with Samsung.

I've traded in multiple phones to Samsung and even t-mobile. All have been fine. The FUD is ridiculous. Trade in for S10 lite is 300 also.

Fantastic. like new:
They will just make stuff up, from not charging to empty box to broken device to whatever. Many credible posts from other users with similar negative experiences. Again, once you complain and have documentation you will likely be fine, but it's annoying when you know you wiped out the phone via USB cable and software. So, there is a chance this could happen, but if you want to keep the device I think it is worth it. Just document everything before sending in!
Most egregious thing was when my son traded in his Z Fold 3 and they rejected his trade in saying:
You sent us Z Fold 3 5G when in trade in option, you said you will send us Z Fold 3

Like there is no non-5G Z fold 3 ever sold in US and also there was not even an option to choose Z Fold 3 5G from trade in selection.

1 chat fixed it but this was pretty outrageous claim to reject the trade in. (All this time, my son was worried about 1 dead pixel on the screen for rejection reason)
