Samsung India is using new financing options, including a 30-month EMI plan, to support smartphone demand amid a market downturn. It plans to strengthen distribution in Tier-II to Tier-IV towns and promote AI-enabled foldables ahead of the festive season.

Why this matters

The move follows Samsung's planned July 22 Galaxy Unpacked launch and India operational restructuring across TV and appliances, pairing premium-device financing with broader smaller-city retail reach.

Omni-channel activity remains steady, with 1,384 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
