Flagship phones are getting expensive — and Samsung knows it. To make the Galaxy S26 series more accessible, [Samsung India](https://www.samsung.com/in/galaxy-forever/) has launched the **Galaxy Forever Program**, a purchase plan that lets you pay just 50% of the device price over 12 interest-free EMIs, with the option to upgrade to a new Galaxy S flagship every year. It’s Samsung’s answer to Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program — and it comes bundled with Samsung Care+ protection at no extra cost.

## Samsung Galaxy Forever Program: How It Works

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| Payment | 50% of device price via 12 interest-free EMIs |
| Included Protection | Samsung Care+ (accidental + liquid damage, worth ₹13,999) |
| After 1 Year | Upgrade, retain, or return the device |
| Upgrade Window | Between 10th and 13th month |
| Return Window | Between 12th and 13th month |
| Availability | Samsung.com ([Galaxy S26 series](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Galaxy+S26+series)) |
| Financing Partner | Samsung Finance+ (No Cost EMI) |

To illustrate: the Galaxy S26 Ultra (12GB + 256GB) is priced at ₹1,39,999. Under the program, the advance buyback value brings the effective price down to ₹69,999.50, payable at ₹5,833/month for the device plus ₹749/month as a program fee — totalling around ₹6,583 per month.

## Is the Galaxy Forever Program Worth It?

For anyone who upgrades their flagship every year anyway, this is a genuinely smart deal. You get Samsung Care+ coverage baked in — worth ₹13,999 standalone — and you’re never stuck paying full price for a phone you’ll return in 12 months. After completing the year, customers can upgrade to the next Galaxy S series device, keep the phone by paying the remaining balance, or simply return it through Samsung.com.

The catch, as always with such programmes, is condition — the device must power on, pass IMEI validation, and include all accessories like a stylus (if applicable) for upgrade or return requests to be approved. It’s a good deal for careful users, less so if your phone picks up wear and tear easily. Read our Galaxy S26 series coverage on Technosports before deciding.
