Samsung offers 6 months of premium AI free with new foldable phones
Samsung has just announced an attractive commercial offer for those who opt for its new foldable phones: six months of free access to Google AI Pro, Google's premium artificial intelligence plan that normally costs €21.99 per month. The promotion comes alongside the launch of the new Galaxy Z family, made up of three devices designed for different types of users.
Three foldables for three different audiences
Samsung has redesigned its foldable lineup with a clear focus: offering options for every need. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the family's base model, a device weighing just 201 grams aimed at immersive entertainment. Its screen adapts dynamically to different tasks—reading, video, gaming—and features a 4,800 mAh battery promising better battery life than its predecessor.
Higher up the range is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, targeting professional users who need multitasking and content creation. At just 215 grams, it stands out for its 8-inch main screen and a 200-megapixel camera system. Its 5,000 mAh battery supports 45W fast charging.
The third is the Galaxy Z Flip 8, aimed at those who prefer a compact form factor. At just 6.1 millimeters thick when folded, it is the thinnest and lightest model in its family. Its big novelty is the redesigned FlexWindow, which integrates AI functions directly on the outer screen without needing to open the device.
What does Google AI Pro include and what is its normal cost?
The Google plan that Samsung gives away with these phones unlocks access to tools that would otherwise be blocked. One of the most prominent is Veo 3.1, a model capable of generating and editing videos based on text instructions. It also includes Google Flow, designed to produce multiple takes and build short films with AI.
Additionally, users get access to Gemini 2.0, Google's most powerful model, with a context window capable of processing up to 1,500 pages of information in a single query. This allows integrating AI into productivity tools like Docs, Sheets, Drive and Slides, where it works as an assistant to review texts, check spelling and grammar, or cross-reference data between files.
The package also includes 5 TB of cloud storage. As hipertextual.com reports, access will be valid until August 1, 2027.
How to redeem the promotion
The process is straightforward. Anyone who buys one of these three foldables just needs to link their Google account on the device to access the promotion. There are no codes to enter or complicated forms: the integration of Galaxy AI with Gemini makes the benefit available directly.
Six months of Google AI Pro represents savings of approximately €132 at list price. For users already hooked on Gemini but frustrated by free plan limitations—which block features like video generation—it's an opportunity to thoroughly test what the premium service offers before deciding whether to keep paying.
A bet on integrated AI
The offer reflects Samsung and Google's strategy to normalize artificial intelligence in everyday mobile phones. While Apple continues developing its own AI tool suite and other manufacturers were testing the market, these two giants are betting on bringing premium-quality AI to people's pockets without economic friction, at least for the first few months. The question now is whether that first semester will be enough for users to decide to keep investing in it.
