The unveiling of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series is just a few weeks away, set to take place on January 22, 2025. Recent findings from an APK teardown reported by Android Authority suggest that the focus is shifting from hardware features to enhanced AI capabilities. It has been revealed that the Galaxy S25 may come bundled with complimentary access to Gemini Advanced.
When purchased, this subscription trial for Gemini Advanced will be available for Galaxy S25 models such as the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, with the duration of the trial varying depending on the model—similar to subscriptions offered with Google’s Pixel 9 series.
The latest version of the Google app, v.15.52.37 beta, indicates possible trial durations for Gemini Advanced subscriptions, showing options for three, six, nine, and twelve months. It seems likely that the basic S25 model will include a three-month trial, while the S25 Plus may offer six months, and the S25 Ultra could provide a full year. The purpose of the nine-month trial remains unclear, but it might be linked to the anticipated S25 Slim, expected to launch later in 2025 following the initial models.
What’s the advantage of Gemini Advanced over the standard offerings on Samsung Galaxy devices? Gemini Advanced provides access to Google’s most advanced AI models on mobile, excelling in complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, and creative collaboration. It also boasts faster image generation compared to the free version and integrates seamlessly with tools like Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets. A typical subscription for Gemini Advanced usually costs around $20 per month.
At this time, these trial offers appear to be speculative, based solely on code discovered in the latest Google app update, with no official confirmation from either Google or Samsung. However, with the Galaxy S25 launch just weeks away, more information is likely to surface soon.
