To make purchasing these devices easier, the brand has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/in\/galaxy-forever\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> a new program called \u2018Galaxy Forever,&#8217; which also makes upgrading to a new Galaxy phone easier.\n<\/p>\n<p>Under the Galaxy Forever program for the Galaxy S26 series in India, Samsung allows people to buy any device in the lineup by paying 50% of the device price through 12 interest-free monthly EMIs. After the 12-month period ends, customers can choose one of three options: retain the device, return it, or upgrade to a newer Galaxy phone (likely the Galaxy S27 or the Galaxy Z Fold 8).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSamsung Galaxy Forever program for Galaxy S26 series in India\n<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to retain the Galaxy S26, you will need to pay the remaining 50% price of the device. If you return the device, the contract ends, and you don\u2019t have to pay anything further \u2014 essentially meaning you used the phone for a year by paying only half its price.\n<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to upgrade to a newer Galaxy smartphone, Samsung will apply the assured buyback value (50% of the original price) of your Galaxy S26 toward the purchase of the new device, and you\u2019ll only need to pay the remaining amount for the new device.\n<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Galaxy Forever program also includes Samsung Care+ at no additional cost. This ensures that if your Galaxy S26 is damaged during the year, Samsung will repair it, helping maintain its buyback value so you can upgrade without complications. Samsung has also shared an example illustrating how the scheme works, which you can check out in the image below.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Plus-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Galaxy-Forever-Program-India.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"269\" alt=\"samsung galaxy s26 plus galaxy s26 ultra galaxy forever program india\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Samsung India\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus Galaxy S26 Ultra Galaxy Forever Program India \u2013 Source: Samsung India\n                                                                                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung launched its latest non-foldable flagship smartphones \u2014 the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra \u2014&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[49,48,24639,92465,24640,1799,190,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-541022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-galaxy-s26","11":"tag-galaxy-s26-plus","12":"tag-galaxy-s26-ultra","13":"tag-india","14":"tag-mobile","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
