Samsung Galaxy S25 series might come with free 1 year of Gemini Advanced: What it means for users

S24 Ultra

The rumour mill has been abuzz with leaks about the upcoming Galaxy S25 series phones. The company is speculated to announce its next generation of Galaxy S phones later this month and ahead of that, new details about the phone have surfaced online. Android Authority has revealed that the Galaxy S25 series might include free Gemini Advanced. Now, this move makes sense considering Samsung has already started moving away its focus from the spec sheet and towards offering more AI features and software-based enhancements to their phones.

Galaxy S25 series to offer free Gemini Advanced subscription
As per the APK teardown of the latest Google app – v15.511.27 beta– the Galaxy S25 series will include a free Gemini Advanced trial subscription. The APK file of the app includes strings suggesting the same.

“<string name="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</string>
<string name="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</string>
<string name="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</string>
<string name="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 cost</string>”

Based on the strings found within the Google app beta, Galaxy S25 might include three months of Gemini Advanced for free. Galaxy S25 Plus is speculated to include 6 months for free and the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to offer the same for an entire year.

Gemini Advanced pricing and features
In terms of pricing, the Gemini Advanced costs Rs 1950 per month. Calculating it for an entire year, the cost becomes Rs 23,400. If the speculation happens to be correct, then Samsung will give the Gemini Advanced to Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers worth Rs 23,400 at no additional cost.
