  "account": "Samsung has launched its Certified Re-Newed Galaxy phones on Amazon, starting at a price of $489. This marks the first time the company has made these refurbished devices available on the popular e-commerce platform. The lineup includes the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25 series, both of which come with a seven-year guarantee of updates. This news comes as the memory shortage drives up prices across the board, making flagship smartphones increasingly out of reach for many consumers. Samsung's Certified Re-Newed program involves refurbishing phones using Samsung parts, replacing batteries, and providing a one-year limited warranty. The phones are also eligible for Samsung Care+, offering an affordable way for fans of the Galaxy series to own a high-end device.",
  "summary": "They come with new batteries and a one-year limited warranty.",
