Apparently, Galaxy S25 buyers will get three months of free Gemini Advanced, while Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers should expect six months and 12 months, respectively, of subscription at no cost.
We wonder whether this offer will only be for pre-orders, though the report doesn't say so.
Last year, during the Galaxy S24 pre-order period, Samsung offered free storage upgrades, and gift cards or credits, which could be used towards accessories like earbuds and smartwatches. Buyers tend to prefer tangible freebies over software perks during the pre-order period, and if Google Advanced is all Samsung is going to offer, it may put some people off.
Regardless, since AI has become an important facet of life, no one is going to mind free access to Google's best AI models.
