Samsung’s Galaxy Forever Program Simplifies S26 Series Ownership in India

Samsung has launched its latest flagship smartphone series – the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra – in India, accompanied by a fresh program called ‘Galaxy Forever’ designed to make upgrading more accessible. The program aims to alleviate the financial burden of purchasing these premium devices and offers flexible ownership options.

Understanding the Galaxy Forever Program

The Galaxy Forever program allows customers in India to acquire any device within the Galaxy S26 lineup by initially paying 50% of the device’s price through 12 interest-free monthly EMIs. Upon completion of the 12-month period, customers have three distinct paths forward: retain the device, return it, or upgrade to a newer Galaxy smartphone.

Ownership Options at the End of the Term

• Retain the Device: Customers can choose to preserve the Galaxy S26 by paying the remaining 50% of the original price.
• Return the Device: Customers can return the device, concluding the contract without further obligations – effectively using the phone for a year at half its retail cost.
• Upgrade to a Newer Galaxy: Samsung will apply the assured buyback value (50% of the original price) of the Galaxy S26 towards the purchase of a new Galaxy device, with the customer only paying the difference in price.

Samsung Care+ Included

Adding further value, the Galaxy Forever program includes Samsung Care+ at no additional cost. This provides repair services for any damage incurred during the year, helping to preserve the device’s buyback value and facilitating a smooth upgrade process.
