Both milestones were officially validated by Guinness World Records after a verification process that ensured all submissions met the required guidelines, including device eligibility and originality of content.

The tech giant said that its campaign was not only designed to highlight the imaging capabilities of its Galaxy devices, but also commemorate the diversity of perspectives and moments captured by users across the country. The records are said to have been achieved through widespread participation from users across different regions of India across four key themes: Faces of India, Sights of India, Spirit of India, and Colours of India.

The photography contest was announced in December 2025, as an open photography initiative aimed at Galaxy smartphone users in India. Running from December 25, 2025 to January 26, 2026, it was anchored by Indian filmmaker Kabir Khan and over 30 regional photographers.

Individuals aged 18 and above who owned and captured the images via a Galaxy S-series smartphone were eligible to submit entries. Users were invited to upload their photographs via a dedicated platform within a defined submission window, allowing Samsung to compile and showcase the images as part of a collective digital gallery.
