This power of Google AI could come to the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series free
Like the Galaxy S24 series, Google’s partnership with Samsung will open up new possibilities in the field of AI for Galaxy S25 users. Now, the good news for Samsung fans is that the Galaxy S25 could come with Gemini Advanced for free.

Gemini Advanced users get the added ability to create photos of people, adding even more variety to their creations. Furthermore, it is much more capable of performing highly complex tasks such as coding, logical reasoning, following detailed instructions, and creative collaboration. However, this is a paid subscription version of Google’s AI, and would normally cost you $19.99 per month.
Galaxy S25 series may have free access to Google’s Gemini Advanced
Discovered by Assemble Debug (via Android Authority) during an APK teardown of Google app version v15.52.37 beta, the upcoming Galaxy S25 series smartphones could include a Gemini Advanced trial subscription for up to 1 year.
According to the strings, those who buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra will get a full year of free access to Gemini Advanced, those who purchase the Galaxy S25+ will get six months of access, and those who buy the Galaxy S25 will get three months of free access to Gemini Advanced, which sounds like a pretty good deal indeed. You can see the free subscription’s availability at a glance:
- Galaxy S25 Ultra – One year
- Galaxy S25 Plus – Six months
- Galaxy S25 – Three months
Apart from Gemini Advanced, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with Seamless Updates, a Car Crash detection feature, USF 4.0 storage, 16GB RAM, 3000 nits high brightness, and more features.
However both companies have not mentioned this offer, and we will learn more about it once the Galaxy S25 series is launched. Stay tuned to get more details about the upcoming flagship. Samsung will likely announce the Galaxy S25 models at the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, and they could go on sale in early February.

Today, with beta 4 Google expanded Android 16 Beta to select non-Pixel flagship devices from partner brands. Samsung, as always, is skipping the Android 16 Beta Program, while the new OS is available for select devices launched by Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, vivo, and Xiaomi.
Google released Android 16 beta 4 with a second version of platform stability and announced that apps compatible with the new OS will now be available on the Play Store.
Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, and Xiaomi have opened beta registration windows for their latest flagship devices launched in the last few months. Samsung, however, is yet to complete One UI 7 for its Galaxy devices, but will soon roll out the stable One UI 7 and launch an independent One UI beta program.
Last week, it was revealed that the company is already working on Android 16’s adaptation and testing the alleged One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones.
Android continues to deliver great updates and new features throughout the year, while feedback from the beta community plays a vital role in constantly improving Android. The Android 16 developer site has a lot more information about the beta, including downloads and a release timeline for Pixel.
List of devices that are running the Android 16 Beta
- HONOR Magic 7 Pro
- Lenovo YOGA Tab Plus
- OnePlus 13
- OPPO Find X8
- realme GT 7 Pro
- iQOO 13

After the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung has today resumed the rollout of One UI 7 based on the Android 15 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE. It is worth noting that the Korean tech giant had halted the rollout a few days ago due to a serious bug discovered in the initial update, so it is now rolling out a new firmware that will fix this issue.
Samsung has started rolling out the new One UI 7 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE. Initially available in South Korea, the new One UI 7 build will go live in more markets soon. This build is a more refined build than the initial build and includes fixes for system improvements.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE users can recognize it by the build number ending with BYD9.
Your Galaxy foldable device might have also received the new build. But you can check for the update manually in Settings > Software update. Click on Download and install so that your phone can receive the new OTA.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has now appeared on Geekbench, revealing that the company is carrying out pre-launch tests and preparations for its new device. The latest listing also solves the chipset mystery that has been in rumours for a long time.
According to the Geekbench 6.4 listing, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 US variant with model number SM-F966U achieved 3022 points on single-core and 9307 points on multi-core tests.
The US variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Also, the phone is expected to run on Android 16-based One UI 8 operating system
Being a flagship folding handset, all these things sound quite good. Nevertheless, the actual performance will only be known once the device is officially launched in the consumer market. Inputs reveal that the chipset is clocked at 3.53 GHz base frequency.
Apart from this, the Korean tech giant can launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 around July this year. Also, an affordable flip model can also be introduced along with both the devices.
