Samsung Galaxy Forever: Do you also dream of owning a new Samsung flagship phone every year, but often shy away from the hefty price tag of ₹1.5 lakh? This news is a boon for you. Samsung has launched its revolutionary ‘Galaxy Forever’ program in India, which will forever change the old EMI method of mobile purchases.
Under this innovative scheme, you can now own premium phones like the Galaxy S26 Ultra and S26 Plus for almost half their original price. This isn’t a simple loan or installment plan, but a smart and innovative rental model that allows you to enjoy the world’s best and latest technology without having to pay the full price upfront.
How this plan works
This new Samsung model is specifically designed for those who want the latest gadget in their pockets every year. The biggest advantage of this plan is that you’re not just “buying” the phone outright, but getting the right to “use” it for a year.
You only need to pay 50 percent of the phone’s total price in easy 12-month installments, plus a small monthly “program fee” for the service. Once the 12-month period is over, you have three unique options: either return the phone or upgrade to the next year’s all-new model without any hassle. If you’re hooked, you can even become its permanent owner by paying the remaining 50 percent.
Galaxy Forever’s Unique Benefits
The biggest draw of this scheme is its affordability, as a phone that previously cost ₹150,000 will now have its monthly installments reduced to just a few thousand rupees, making the premium experience accessible to everyone. Samsung is also offering the protection of “Samsung Care Plus,” which means you won’t have to worry about hefty repair bills if your phone accidentally falls out of your hands or gets damaged by water during the first year.
Furthermore, the minimal paperwork and easy loan facility provided by “Samsung Finance Plus” make it a great option for corporate employees and college students, eliminating the need to scramble to the market to sell or exchange your old phone.
‘Hidden’ Terms in This Scheme
This plan may seem attractive and magical, but it’s important to understand a few things carefully: until you pay 100% in full, you’re not technically considered the rightful owner of the phone. This scheme will primarily be beneficial for those who like to change their phones every year and keep up with the latest trends.
If you’re used to using the same phone for three or four years, this plan may be a bit expensive, as the monthly program fee slightly increases the total cost compared to the standard EMI. It’s also important to note that the phone must be in working condition when you return it, otherwise you could face additional penalties, which could ruin your budget.
