Although it’s not quite as cutting edge as the Samsung Galaxy S22, the S21 series is worth checking out for its solid camera and impressive battery life (which actually outperforms the next-gen S22). When it launched in 2021, the standard S21 retailed for $800, while the S21 Plus and S21 Ultra started at $999 and $1,199, respectively.
The current sale cuts these prices down considerably: pre-order a refurbished S21 phone through the Samsung Certified Re-Newed Store and you’ll get the S21 for $675 and the S21 Plus for $850, while the S21 Ultra drops to just $1,000. To make the deal even sweeter, Samsung is also throwing in $100 of instant credit — which can be used to buy accessories in the Samsung store — and up to $450 of trade-in credit if you send them your old device.When refurbishing their phones, Samsung puts each device through a 132-point quality inspection to make sure it’s performing just like a brand new phone. Only genuine Samsung parts are used, and the phones come with the standard one-year warranty and 24/7 access to Samsung support. The pre-order deal only lasts until Earth Day (April 22nd), but you can find savings in the Re-Newed Store year-round, alongside other refurbished phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the S20 series, and more.
