- A code found in the latest Google app beta hints at free access to Gemini Advanced for Galaxy S25 buyers.
- Free access can vary by model: the base S25 can get 3 months, the S25 Plus can get 6 months, and the S25 Ultra can score a full year.
- The code also hints at a broader plan, with a Motorola device possibly getting in on the Gemini Advanced action.
Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S25, which is set to drop this month, promises a heavy dose of AI features, building on last year’s Galaxy AI. But Samsung can go ahead with free access to Google’s Gemini Advanced AI models.
Android Authority Dig up some juicy details in the Google app beta version 15.52.37, which hints at a major Google-Samsung team-up. Buried in the code are four lines that point to free access to Gemini Advanced.
The wires mention a period of access ranging from one month to a full year, possibly depending on which Galaxy S25 model you buy.
How long you get free access depends on the Galaxy S25 you choose. Presumably, higher-end models are expected to get longer trial periods. This means that the base model could offer a three-month trial, the S25 Plus could extend it to 6 months, and the S25 Ultra is rumored to get free access to the AI service for a whole year.
This attractive offer is sure to compel buyers to snap up the S25.
Looking closely at the code, it points to a larger plan. While the Galaxy S25 series is in the spotlight, there are also mentions of the Pixel 9 and an unnamed Motorola device, among other devices that could be included, making Gemini Advanced more accessible to the Android ecosystem. makes
Giving devices access to Gemini Advanced is nothing new. Last year, Google’s Pixel 9 Pro models came with a free one-year subscription to this advanced AI service.
What sets Gemini Advanced apart is the AI it uses. It goes beyond the standard Samsung Galaxy AI and taps into Google’s latest models. This means being better at handling complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, understanding multimodal input, and even teaming up on creative projects.
Gemini Advanced also increases image creation speed compared to the free version. Also, it works seamlessly with core Google services like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.
That’s a great bonus, if it pans out, especially with all the Power Gemini Advanced packs. While Google has released a few versions of Gemini, only advanced users get the latest models like 2.0 Flash and 1.5 Deep Research, which just launched this month.
