Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, has announced the launch of ‘Galaxy Forever’ in India. This is a new smartphone ownership model designed to make Samsung’s flagship smartphones more accessible to customers. Designed to respond to the growing interest in the premium smartphone segment, the program promises customers an introductory discount of 50%—plus a guaranteed buyback option after one year—and a ‘no-questions-asked return’ policy backed by Samsung Care+. Under this scheme, customers can purchase the Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy S26 Plus by paying just half the price of the device, divided into 12 no-interest EMIs, for one year using a credit card or Samsung Finance+. Samsung Finance+ is designed to promote easy banking and financial inclusion, enabling customers to avail hassle-free credit and instant loan approval with minimal paperwork.
After one year, customers who opted for credit card payment can return the device and get a confirmed buyback value of 50% directly, or can choose to retain the device and repay the remaining 50% value in the next 12 no-interest EMIs. Customers who chose Samsung Finance+ will simply have to return their device to upgrade to the next Galaxy flagship smartphone. To retain the device, these customers will have to pay the remaining 50% of the price in the 13th month. Galaxy Forever also includes Samsung Care+—priced at ₹13,999 for a period of 13 months (which includes protection against accidental and liquid damage)—ensuring device protection from day one and a ‘No Questions Asked’ right.
