Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Free Gemini Advanced Subscriptions 49182c
According to an Android Authority report, Google could be offering its AI features to those purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S25 series devices. The evidence of this bundled offer was spotted by the publication during an Android application package (APK) teardown process of the Google app beta version 15.52.37. Several strings of code reportedly hinted at the claimed offer.
The strings of code reportedly mention Google One and Samsung, and use the phrase “upsell”. This indicates that the claimed offer is part of an upselling campaign where the Mountain View-based tech giant believes exposing more s to Gemini Advanced could result in them purchasing the subscription once the trial runs out.
Other strings reportedly also mention the phrase, “Your device gives you access to an {xxx}-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, with access to our most capable AI models, at no cost,” where “xxx” is replaced by three months, six months, nine months, and one-year durations in different variations.
Apart from this, the publication also shared separate strings of code which directly mention “Samsung_S25”, highlighting the smartphone series. It is speculated that different models of the series could come with a free Gemini Advanced subscription for different durations. It could be that the standard model could get three or six months, whereas the Plus and Ultra variants get nine months and one year's worth of free subscriptions, respectively.
However, it should be noted that neither Google nor Samsung has officially announced this offer, and merely its mention in the app's code is not a confirmation that s will definitely get free subscriptions to Gemini Advanced. We should know more once the Galaxy S25 phones are launched next month.
