Galaxy S25 could come with more advanced AI features for free

Later this month, Samsung is expected to officially announce the Galaxy S25 series. It’s safe to assume that AI will be one of the highlight features of the lineup this year, and there might be some good news on that front. It turns out that maybe some of these advanced AI features could be free for the Galaxy S25 series.

This is according to a report from Android Authority which did an APK teardown on the Google app. During the teardown, there are several references made to free AI for the Galaxy S25. Interestingly enough, it isn’t related to Samsung’s own Galaxy AI, but rather it mentions Google’s Gemini model.

Also, before you get too excited, these free advanced features aren’t permanent. It seems that Samsung and Google just want to give users a taste or a trial period to Gemini Advanced. Presumably Google hopes that you will enjoy it enough to pay for a subscription to it.

Another interesting discovery is that the duration of the trial could vary from device to device. The APK teardown reveals strings that mention how this trial could last anywhere from 3 months up to a year. Maybe the Galaxy S25 Ultra could get the year’s free subscription, while the base model only gets 3 months. Either way, we’ll find out soon enough.
