The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup is expected to launch in just a few weeks, bringing exciting new features, a sleek design, and significant camera upgrades. However, a recent leak suggests the Galaxy S25 might also include a surprise perk—a free Gemini Advanced subscription, a premium AI service from Google.
Google’s $200+ Bonus for Samsung Galaxy S25 Buyers
According to a teardown of the latest Google app APK by Android Authority, references in the code hint at a special offer for Galaxy S25 users. The code mentions:
“Your device gives you access to a {one}-year subscription to Gemini Advanced with access to our most capable AI models, at no cost.”
The offer could save customers more than $200 for a one-year subscription to Gemini Advanced, which usually costs $20 per month. The app also mentions shorter trial durations—nine months, six months, and three months—likely tied to different Galaxy S25 models.
This isn’t the first time Google has offered such bonuses. A similar promotion was available to Pixel 9 buyers, making this partnership between Google and Samsung a significant move for Android users.
What Is Gemini Advanced?
Gemini Advanced is Google’s premium AI subscription service, offering advanced capabilities beyond the standard Gemini model. Subscribers get access to:
- Image generation tools
- Enhanced responses to complex queries
- Custom AI expert creation
- Early access to experimental Google AI models
Currently, Gemini Advanced is bundled with a Google One subscription, which includes 2TB of cloud storage, advanced photo editing features, and VPN services. However, there’s no indication that the Samsung promotion will include Google One benefits.
When to Expect the Galaxy S25 and More Details
Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 lineup during its Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22. Alongside hardware upgrades, this AI subscription perk could be a major selling point, offering Galaxy S25 buyers exclusive access to Google’s most advanced AI tools.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about Samsung’s latest flagship and this exciting partnership with Google.
