Mar 20: Samsung announced the launch of Galaxy Forever in India, introducing a new ownership model designed to make its flagship smartphones more accessible. The programme addresses growing demand in the premium smartphone segment by offering a 50% upfront discount with assured buyback after one year and a no-questions-asked-return policy powered by Samsung Care+.
Under Galaxy Forever, customers can own a Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy S26 Plus for a year by paying only half the device cost through 12 no-cost EMIs via Credit Card or Samsung Finance+. Samsung Finance+ promotes financial inclusion by providing easy credit with minimal documentation and quick loan approvals.
After one year, customers using the Credit Card payment mode can return the device for a 50% assured buyback or retain it by paying the remaining 50% in 12 additional no-cost EMIs. Customers using Samsung Finance+ can simply return and upgrade to the next Galaxy flagship, or retain the device by paying the balance in the 13th month.
Galaxy Forever also includes Samsung Care+, offering Accidental and Liquid Damage Protection with zero deductibles for 13 months, ensuring peace of mind from day one.
