Ever since the launch of the Galaxy S24 series in 2024, Samsung has bet big on Galaxy AI. With each flagship release, the company has introduced a number of new AI features, including some of our favorites. However, Samsung has consistently stated that Galaxy AI features would remain free only for a limited time.

I appreciate Samsung’s approach
For the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung announced that Galaxy AI would be free until the end of 2025. Many assumed this would change with the Galaxy S25, but the same end-of-2025 window still applies.
Samsung hasn’t clarified what will happen after that — whether it will start charging for AI features or what the pricing might be. But now, it seems the company might just keep these features free indefinitely.
Reputed Samsung leaker PandaFlash Pro on X revealed that Samsung may offer all of its in-house Galaxy AI features for free permanently. This excludes Gemini-powered features, which are under Google’s control. But core Galaxy AI tools like Live Translator, Generative Edits, and Writing Tools will reportedly remain free.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI could stay free indefinitely
While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed this, considering the leaker’s solid track record, the rumor seems quite credible. There’s a chance Samsung could confirm it during the next-generation Galaxy foldable launch on July 9, 2025.
Speaking of the new foldables, the leaker also shared that Samsung’s upcoming most affordable foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, will support the same AI features as the pricier Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. It’ll also include a 6-month Gemini Advanced subscription out of the box, meaning the budget foldable may deliver just as much AI power as its flagship siblings.
