Hidden costs on the Galaxy S25 are being kept secret by Samsung

According to Android Police , tech users are buzzing about a hidden fee that is about to appear on Samsung's high-end Galaxy S25 phone line. It is worth noting that the Korean tech giant has remained silent about the details of this fee, especially related to artificial intelligence (AI) features.

Galaxy AI still unclear on charging plans

AI 'trick' on Galaxy S25?

The biggest concern revolves around Galaxy AI, the AI ​​feature that Samsung has been heavily promoting as a highlight of the Galaxy S25. Currently, Galaxy AI is offered for free for a limited time (6 months or until the end of 2025). However, Samsung has confirmed that the service will be transferred to a paid form in the future.

This leaves users feeling 'uneasy' as they don't know what features will be locked after the free period ends. Will advanced photo and video editing features or real-time translation still work? What is the monthly fee? Samsung has yet to reveal any information, leaving users feeling left out in the cold.

Many experts and users criticize Samsung's strategy as 'eating from both ends'. They believe that Samsung is asking users to pay high prices for insignificant hardware upgrades, while 'luring' them with AI features and then charging them.

“If AI is the reason I buy your phone, it has to be seamlessly integrated into the user experience. Otherwise, it’s just a separate service package,” one expert said.

Charging for Galaxy AI could backfire for Samsung, as other Android app developers will jump in and offer free or cheaper AI solutions. Galaxy AI will face stiff competition and harsh comparisons from users.

Users are calling for Samsung to be more transparent about its plans to charge for the Galaxy AI. They want to know what features will be affected, how much they will pay, and what value they will receive. If Samsung continues to remain silent, it risks losing customer trust and damaging its brand reputation.

It’s not just Samsung, Apple and Google have also not revealed plans to charge for their AI features. The big tech companies are testing the waters and waiting to see who will be the first to offer a price. Meanwhile, users are hoping that the fierce competition will help them benefit from quality AI features at a reasonable price.
