GURUGRAM, India – August 18, 2026 – Samsung India has introduced Galaxy Forever, a flexible ownership programme for customers buying the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8 smartphones. The programme brings together 24 months of no-cost EMI, Samsung Care+ device protection and an assured buyback value of up to 55% of the device invoice value.
Galaxy Forever is designed for young customers who desire a premium foldable today, but also want greater certainty about its value when they are ready to upgrade. Instead of relying entirely on prevailing resale prices, customers have a defined pathway to upgrade or return their device, subject to the programme terms.
Galaxy Forever combines three key benefits:
- 24 months of no-cost EMI, making premium foldable technology more accessible.
- Samsung Care+ device protection, covering accidental and liquid damage with zero claim processing fee to provide customers added peace of mind (customers do not need to purchase Samsung Care+ separately as it is included within the programme)
- Assured buyback value of up to 55%, allowing customers to upgrade or return their device from the 10th month onwards, subject to programme terms.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is available with Galaxy Forever at INR 9417 per month, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at INR 8584 per month. Both plans are based on 24 months of no-cost EMI and include the Galaxy Forever programme fee.
The assured buyback value depends on when the customer chooses to upgrade or return the device:
- 10th–11th month: 55% of device invoice value
- 12th–13th month: 50%
- 14th–18th month: 45%
- 19th–25th month: 40%
This gives customers greater clarity when planning their next upgrade. Galaxy Forever also gives customers flexibility in how they use their device. Customers who want to upgrade can move to the next Galaxy flagship through the programme. Those who want to continue using their current device can retain it, subject to the applicable programme terms.
The programme is designed to complement traditional smartphone ownership rather than replace it. Customers can continue to buy and own their smartphones outright. Galaxy Forever offers an alternative for those who place greater value on predictable upgrade options, device protection and long-term ownership costs. With Galaxy Forever, Samsung brings financing, protection and an assured buyback value into a single ownership proposition. It gives customers access to the latest Galaxy foldable technology today, while providing a clearer path when they decide it is time to upgrade.
