India – March 21, 2026 – Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced the launch of Galaxy Forever in India, introducing a new ownership model to make its flagship smartphones more accessible. Designed to address the growing interest in the premium smartphone segment, the programme promises customers a 50% upfront discount against assured buyback after one year with a no
questions-asked-return policy powered by Samsung Care+.
This enables customers to own a Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy S26 Plus for a year by paying only half of the device cost in 12 no-cost EMIs via Credit Card or Samsung Finance+. Samsung Finance+ is designed to drive financial inclusion so that consumers can avail easy credit with minimal documentation and quick loan approvals. After one year, customers who opted in through the Credit Card payment mode can return and get 50% assured buyback directly or retain and pay the balance 50% through additional 12 no-cost EMIs.
Customers who opted for Samsung Finance+ just simply need to return and upgrade to the next Galaxy flagship smartphone. To retain the device, customers would be required to pay the balance 50% in the 13th month.
Galaxy Forever also includes Samsung Care+ (offering Accidental and Liquid Damage Protection with zero deductibles) worth INR 13,999 for 13 months, ensuring device protection and no-questions-asked-return promise from day one.
