The Samsung Galaxy S25 series reveal is just weeks away, anticipated for January 22, 2025. Recent leaks, however, are shifting the conversation from hardware specifications to integrated AI features. An APK teardown suggests the Galaxy S25 lineup could include a free trial of Google’s Gemini Advanced, adding significant value to the new devices.
This potential trial offer for Gemini Advanced would be tied to the purchase of a Galaxy S25 device, presumably including the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra. Similar to Google’s strategy with the Pixel 9 series, the trial duration is expected to vary depending on the specific S25 model purchased.

A teardown of the latest Google app (v.15.52.37 beta) reveals code suggesting trial lengths of three, six, nine, and twelve months. This suggests a tiered approach: the base S25 might receive a three-month trial, the S25 Plus a six-month trial, and the S25 Ultra a full year of free access. The nine-month duration remains a mystery, potentially linked to a rumored S25 Slim model anticipated for later in 2025.
Gemini Advanced: What’s the Advantage?
Gemini Advanced offers access to Google’s most powerful AI models on mobile, surpassing the standard Gemini experience available on Samsung Galaxy phones. It excels in complex tasks such as coding, logical reasoning, nuanced multi-modal instructions, and creative collaboration. Image generation is reportedly faster, and Gemini integration extends to Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and other Google apps. A standard Gemini Advanced subscription typically costs $20 per month.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
It’s crucial to remember that this trial offer is currently based on code analysis and hasn’t been officially confirmed by either Google or Samsung. However, with the Galaxy S25 launch imminent, official details will soon be available.
