Samsung launches Galaxy Forever programme for Z Fold 8 series
Samsung has announced Galaxy Forever, a flexible ownership programme for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series in India. The programme offers 24 months of no-cost EMI, Samsung Care+ protection, and an assured buyback value of up to 55 percent of the invoice value. Customers who purchase a Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Z Fold 8 Ultra can return their device from the 10th month onwards.
Separately, One UI 9, which debuted on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, introduces a new Warranty and care menu in Settings. This menu consolidates warranty information across all Samsung devices linked to the user's account, allows Bixby to diagnose issues, and enables users to request repairs at authorised service centres or start a remote support session. It also shows estimated costs for major parts and potential savings with Samsung Care+.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same features without any conflicting facts. Gadgets360 focuses on the Galaxy Forever programme's financial benefits for Indian buyers, while GSMArena highlights the One UI 9 warranty menu's convenience across devices. Neither source adopts a pro-government or critical stance, both are neutral product announcements. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key implication is that Samsung is bundling hardware, software, and after-sales service to lock in customer loyalty across its ecosystem. Watch for adoption rates of Galaxy Forever compared to standard EMI plans.
