The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra are impressive devices that offer large screens and great flexibility. However, they are also quite expensive. To address this, Samsung is making it easier to own and maintain its latest foldable phones in India.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Forever program for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in India. This ownership program is designed for customers who plan to return their device or upgrade to a newer model in the future. It spreads the cost of the device across 24 months with no-cost EMI, removing the burden of interest charges.
The plan also includes Samsung Care+ for hassle-free maintenance. It provides comprehensive coverage against accidental and liquid damage with zero deductibles.
Pricing starts at INR 8,584 (~$90) per month for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and INR 9,417 (~$99) per month for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. This monthly payment covers the device installment as well as the Samsung Care+ premium protection plan.
Under the Galaxy Forever plan, buyers can receive up to 55% of the phone's invoice value when upgrading or returning the device after ten months. To qualify, the device must power on, display a verifiable IMEI number, and show no unauthorized tampering.
| Return/Upgrade Period | Assured Buyback Value (Based On Invoice Value) |
|---|---|
| 10th–11th Month | 55% |
| 12th–13th Month | 50% |
| 14th–18th Month | 45% |
| 19th–25th Month | 40% |
