Samsung Now Calls Its Preowned Devices 'Re-Newed'

Samsung is currently gearing up for its new Unpacked event that’s rumored to be happening soon. In the meantime, the Korean tech super giant has made a small change to how it refers to its preowned devices. As spotted by DroidLife, the company has now started to call them re-newed Galaxy devices.

The company is calling them re-newed, not renewed

Samsung has made the distinction of adding a hyphen in the middle of the word. The company didn’t say why, but the reason might lie in how we associate the word with the condition of the product. When we read the word “renewed”, we associate it with an item that, while it’s been fixed up, will never be as good as new.

However, with the word “re-new” the “new” part is separated. Because of this, there’s the chance that it will stick out in the readers’ brains. Since this word “new” sticks out more, the readers will associate the product with being new.

Which should make sense on some level. It’s like Samsung saying “Would you pay $550 for a used Galaxy device, or would you pay $500 for a Galaxy device that’s just like new?”

Re-newed Galaxy devices are actually a good deal

Despite the weird nomenclature, picking up a re-newed Samsung device could be a good idea for people who don’t want to spend a grand on their dream Galaxy. Samsung stated that their re-newed devices are thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are fully functional.

What’s really good to hear is that they are re-newed in Samsung factories, so you know that you’re getting the right parts for the phone. That’s really important, especially when it comes to the battery. The statement even says that the devices are updated.

To sweeten the deal, Samsung also says that the re-newed Galaxy devices will come with a one year warranty. That’s actually a really compelling deal. You will get the piece of mind knowing that the devices were fixed up in an official Samsung factory with all the official parts.

Samsung’s next Unpacked event might be just around the corner

A lot of news is circulating around the next Samsung Unpacked event. This event is where we are expecting to see the unveiling of the new Galaxy foldable phones. These will be the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. So many rumors about these devices’ specs, price and capabilities have been buzzing around the mobile tech world.

Rumors point to the event happening on August 11th. That’s little more than a month from now. Even though the event is so close, there’s still a lot more leaks and rumors that could pop up before then.
