New Galaxy S25 Series Leak Reveals Samsungs Valuable Surprise Offer
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is tipped to receive a free Gemini AI Advanced subscription not provided ... [+] with the Galaxy S24 Ultra (pictured)gettyGalaxy S25-series customers look likely to receive a valuable free offer previously made available only to Google Pixel owners.Jan 02 Update below: Ive added more details about Googles existing Gemini Advanced free trial offers and what it might mean for Samsung Galaxy S25 series customersAccording to a new Android Authority report from the teardown specialist Assemble Debug, Samsungs soon-to-be-released Galaxy S25 handsets could come bundled with a free Google Gemini Advanced AI subscription of up to one year worth up to $239.88 (see below).While neither Samsung nor Google has officially announced the offer, code strings within the latest Google app beta version suggest that Samsung Galaxy S25-series smartphones will also receive a Gemini Advanced subscription of between three months and a year, depending on the specific smartphone model.Free Gemini Advanced For Up To One YearThe text strings read as follows:"assistant_zero_state_google_one_samsung_eft_upsell_body_nine_months";Your device gives you access to a {nine}-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, with access to our most capable AI models, at no cost"assistant_zero_state_google_one_samsung_eft_upsell_body_one_year";Your device gives you access to a {one} year subscription to Gemini Advanced, with access to our most capable AI models, at no cost"assistant_zero_state_google_one_samsung_eft_upsell_body_six_months";Your device gives you access to a {six}-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, with access to our most capable AI models, at no cost"assistant_zero_state_google_one_samsung_eft_upsell_body_three_months";Your device gives you access to a {three}-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, with access to our most capable AI models, at no costWhat is Gemini Advanced?Gemini Advanced is Googles subscriber-only AI chatbot service, which provides access to Googles latest and most powerful models. The standard version is free to use, but Gemini Advanced requires a pricey ongoing subscription. A bundled Gemini Advanced subscription would, therefore, add significant value to any smartphone purchase.More Than Just Gemini AdvancedAny offer of Gemini Advanced will likely include much more than access to Googles best AI models because Gemini Advanced is currently available only as part of Googles $19.99 per month AI Premium Google One plan, which is worth $239.88 for the year.Read More: New Samsung Leak Confirms Disappointing Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera UpgradeThis subscription tier comes with 2TB of Google One storage, deep AI integration within Googles apps such as Gmail and Docs, premium Google Workspace features and 10% back in the Google Store.The information available so far doesnt state that Galaxy S25 owners will receive a full Google One AI Premium subscription, but thats the deal Pixel 9 customers received, so it would be reasonable to expect Google to provide the same for Samsung customers, especially as theres currently no way to subscribe to Gemini Advanced other than with Google One AI Premium.Jan 02 Update: There are some important details to note regarding Googles existing Gemini Advanced trials and how they might affect Samsung Galaxy S25-series customers.If Samsungs Gemini Advanced Free trial offer mirrors the one offered to Google Pixel 9 Pro customers, then there are a few crucial points to keep in mind. Not everyone will be eligible for the offer, and you cant simply order a Galaxy S25 Ultra and return it to bag a years subscription to Google One AI Premium.Googles official terms and conditions for the Gemini Advanced subscription bundled with the Pixel 9 Pro offer include the following essential details:Users must be 18 years or older.Your Google One account cannot be billed via a third party (such as Apple or your network operator).The offer does not apply to Pixel Pass or Google One family plan members.The offer does not apply to Google One members on a 5 TB plan or above.Unless canceled earlier, the offer will automatically convert into a paid subscription at the end of the trial period.Return of purchased device may result in the cancelation of the subscription.You can read more about how Googles free Gemini Advanced trial operates for Google Pixel 9-series owners here. I would expect something very similar to be made available to Galaxy S25-series customers, although we wont know for sure until Samsung officially announces the deal.Follow @paul_monckton on Instagram.
