As the free period for Samsung's Galaxy AI service comes to an end, the tech world is waiting for the plan to switch to a paid model to be officially announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event, scheduled to be held in the US in July.

Currently, Galaxy AI is available for free on eligible Samsung smartphones until the end of 2025. The phrase is highlighted in the product information on Samsung's official website for the recently launched Galaxy S25 Edge series and was previously featured on the Galaxy S24 introduction page.

This is seen as a clear signal that AI charging in the near future is being prepared by Samsung.

Launched in January 2024, Galaxy AI is Samsung’s first generative artificial intelligence system that combines on-device processing and cloud computing. The service offers features such as real-time translation, content summarization, image editing, and advanced search. Galaxy AI is considered a key factor in Samsung’s positioning of its flagship models as “AI phones.”

The Galaxy S24, the first device to integrate Galaxy AI, created great attraction and achieved a record high pre-sale of 1.3 million units. The Galaxy S25 continues this trend, becoming the platform for Samsung to continue expanding the AI ​​ecosystem. In this context, charging for Galaxy AI is considered a necessary step to maintain and expand the service.

“We will provide Galaxy AI for free until the end of 2025. After that, Samsung will make a decision after considering customer needs and business situations,” said Roh Tae-moon, President and Head of Samsung Device Experience, at the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event.

Some experts believe that Samsung will announce specific policies related to the charging model in the third quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the Korean technology giant can apply diverse models such as subscription-based payment, free basic features, and charging for advanced functions that require large processing resources. The possibility of implementing promotional programs, free trials, or preferential packages is also being considered to minimize negative reactions from users.
