Artificial intelligence is in fashion, in all electronic devices. And Samsung brings a large number of tools with iA as standard: Galaxy AI has been renewed with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25. For the moment it's freebut this free service already has an end.
They've just been released and are already on track to be featured on all the covers. And in a few weeks, we will see them heading towards the first pockets: the Samsung Galaxy S25 has almost everything you would want in your smartphone. Including AI; that Galaxy AI brings a set of tools as numerous as they are varied. And free, at least for now.

Samsung Galaxy S25 AI is free until the end of 2025
Imaging using Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy S25
The free tools included in the high-end Samsung Galaxy have not changed, even with the launch of the three new models: yes, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 we echoed this “end of 2025”, with the new batch, there is no extension of said free warranty.
As we can read in the information that the brand provided us, the end of free AI is perfectly on the calendar:
“Galaxy AI features will be offered for free until the end of 2025 on compatible Samsung Galaxy devices”
The above applies to the Samsung Galaxy S25 and previous models, both those that started with Galaxy AI as standard and those that arrived after corresponding updates. This This is a comparative grievance for owners of these S25ssince they will benefit from the intelligent options for eleven months when the owners of a Galaxy S24 have been there for almost two years, for example.
Samsung has not extended the free period of Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy S25. Currently
Although the expiration date appears in Samsung's terms of service, we don't know which One UI tools are included in this limitation. The brand can limit access to intelligent photo editing, as Google does; While reducing advanced settings, such as real-time call translation, this may also limit all modes of running in the cloud to those running on the device. And there is another option, the one we are betting on.
This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE
Apple, OPPO, OnePlus, Xiaomi… do not put an expiration date on their generative AI
Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 16 Pro
AI has become an added value of software. Samsung was one of the first manufacturers to welcome it within its layer, well beyond Bixby or the automatic settings of One UI. It represents an often superfluous addition; Even though it offers really useful options: translating conversations in real time, summarizing web pages, analyze what is in front of the camera or, like with Now Brief and Now Bar on the Galaxy S25, AI can help the user know what they need without asking.
Apple is another of the brands that bet everything on AI: we tested Apple Intelligence and, although it is still a little green, we predict a great future for iPhones. And nothing predicts that Apple will charge for its AI, it would be very strange if Samsung ended up charging for its own.
If Samsung's competition does not charge for its AI, it would be very strange if the Galaxy S25 and company only had it available for free until the end of 2025
Galaxy AI works on the device and also in the cloud, it all depends on the capabilities required for said execution. Since server maintenance is a huge cost, it wouldn't be strange if Samsung charged for tasks like magic image editing and content generation; leaving data management, device proactivity and local language models included in the cost of the Samsung Galaxy itself.
