a free surprise in the smartphone from Google?

Used to working together, the two manufacturers should reserve a free feature for new Samsung smartphones.

Samsung and Google could well have a surprise in store for future Galaxy S25 buyers. The two manufacturers have been working hand in hand for several months and Samsung often benefits first from the new features developed by the second, before the latter declines them on its Pixels.

For the S25 series, this gift would once again take the form of an AI feature. It is rumored, in fact, that the S25s could include free access to Gemini Advanced, the new version, but also the most advanced of Google's AI.

The information comes from several snoopers who analyzed the latest beta version of the Google application and who discovered several mentions of a free Gemini Advanced even though the application is usually offered at 19.99 euros/month. It remains to be seen which version of the S25 is affected and for how long. Is it very limited access, time to get an overview of the service's capabilities or a real discovery offer lasting several months?

Gemini Advanced free

According to our American colleagues at Android Authority, there would be three levels of offer in the discovery bonus imagined by Google and Samsung.

For the most basic version of the S25, this access to Gemini Advanced would last three months. For the Galaxy S25+ access to the premium service would increase to 6 months. It is the future owners of the S25 Ultra who will have the most time to take advantage of Gemini Advanced, which seems logical, since the trial period will run for the entirety of the first year, thus allowing them a saving of around 240 euros .

It now remains to be seen whether this offer seen in the depths of the Google application code will translate into reality. The wait should no longer be very long since the launch date of the new Samsung Galaxy S25 seems to be set for January 22.

In the meantime, this rumor is added to many others which are starting to give us a precise idea of what Samsung's new high-end smartphone and its variations will be.
