After giving away free subscriptions<\/a>, and a free tablet to Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers<\/a>, Samsung is now bundling the Galaxy S25 with select TV purchases.<\/p>\n Predictably, shoppers need to buy a reasonably expensive TV to qualify for the free Galaxy S25 (just the base model, not the Plus or Ultra). On the U.K. deal page, Samsung is pushing buyers towards TVs that cost thousands, but it\u2019s possible to qualify for the free phone by purchasing a TV for as low as \u00a31,199 ($1,623.93).<\/p>\n The \u00a31,199 set is the 43\u201d Neo QLED QN93F. The next cheapest model that comes with a free handset is the \u00a31,349 ($1,827.09) 85\u201d U8000F, after that it\u2019s the 55\u201d Neo QLED QN85F for \u00a31,499 ($2,030.25).<\/p>\n ForbesSamsung Makes New $616 Offer To Galaxy S25 Ultra BuyersBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n To get the free Samsung Galaxy S25 shoppers have to use the code \u201cAITV.\u201d Samsung has combined this code with a \u201cSPRING\u201d voucher that knocks 20% off the the TV, alongside up to \u00a31000 ($1,354.40) cashback.<\/p>\n The NEO QLED QN85F, for example, qualifies for \u00a3200 ($270.88) of cashback. There\u2019s a lengthy, awkward, process to get your money back, which includes submitting a claim and waiting for approval. This could take up to 45 days for the money to eventually reach your account.<\/p>\n Rather than directly discounting the TV by \u00a3200, Samsung is likely hoping that some people will be put off by the rigmarole of going through the claims process. But it is absolutely worth taking the time to do.<\/p>\n For more savvy shoppers, a new and unopened Galaxy S25 can be sold on eBay for roughly \u00a3600 ($812.64). Combined with the 20% off SPRING code and \u00a3200 cashback, the QN85F\u2019s price effectively drops down to \u00a3549 ($743.57). A solid price for a yet-to-be-released 2025 TV.<\/p>\n Samsung\u2019s Free Galaxy S25 Gamble<\/strong><\/p>\n Samsung is rolling out AI to every device in its product lineup.

The company has bundled a free Chromebook<\/a>, earbuds and Galaxy Watches with Galaxy phone purchases in the last year. The latest deal bundles a free Galaxy Tab A9 Plus with purchases of the Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a>, alongside knocking 20% off wearables if bought together.<\/p>\n Free high-end hardware obviously grabs shoppers\u2019 attention. Samsung\u2019s aim is partly to draw as many individuals as it can into the Galaxy ecosystem.” The clue is in the discount code\u2019s name \u201cAITV.\u201d The Korean company has imbued AI into almost all of its devices, including its cheaper smartphones through it\u2019s \u201cawesome intelligence<\/a>\u201d suite of tools that offers a pared down experience compared to the mainstream Galaxy AI.<\/p>\n
