Samsung Galaxy AI to be free till 2025
The South Korean tech brand has shared a press release that confirms that the Galaxy AI will be free only until 2025. The press release includes details about the showcasing of Galaxy AI capabilities by opening seven Galaxy Experience spaces around the world. Countries include Paris, Dubai, and Tokyo. The features will be available free of charge until the end of 2025, which means Samsung is planning to start charging for AI in 2026.
Although details about paid AI are not clear, Samsung is expected to roll out a paid version called ‘Galaxy AI+’ in 2026. The basic version might continue for free, while the paid version will offer more features.
This is similar to how various AI-based assistants were earlier announced for free but later received their subscription plans. These include Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Microsoft’s Co-pilot.
