Samsung offers a year with the Galaxy S26 by paying only 50% of the price

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Forever scheme in India for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, aiming to make it easier to buy the new flagships, which have arrived with higher price tags than the previous generation.

How the Galaxy Forever plan works for Galaxy S26

Under the programme, the buyer pays 50% of the handset’s cost over 12 months via interest-free instalments. Once the 12 months are up, there are three choices: keep the phone, return it, or swap it for a new Galaxy.

End of term options: keep, return or upgrade

If the customer decides to keep the device, they must pay the remaining 50% of the price. If they return the smartphone, the agreement ends with no further payments - in effect, the customer uses a flagship for a year while paying only half of its cost.

If the customer opts to upgrade, Samsung will credit a guaranteed buy-back value equal to 50% of the original price towards the purchase of a new device, likely the Galaxy S27 or the Galaxy Z Fold8.

Samsung Care+ included at no extra cost

Samsung Care+ is also included in the programme at no additional charge. This means that if the smartphone is damaged during the year, the company will repair it to preserve the buy-back value and make a later exchange to a new model simpler.
