I love Samsung, but one thing I don’t like about the recently released Galaxy S25 series is how close the entire family’s hardware is to their respective predecessors. There are very few upgrades that can be seen on paper, which is a little annoying in a world where competitors are starting to gap the Korean OEM on the spec sheet.
If you watched the launch event, you know that most of that value this year is in the software you get. Sure, there’s Google Gemini, Galaxy AI, and One UI all bringing major improvements, but the company is throwing in a little software bonus. You’ll get three premium subscriptions with a value of about $80, all for free.
Get Your Hands on Three Premium Subscriptions with Your Brand New Galaxy S25
The best phone for you is a phone that you really want—it doesn’t matter how much it changes compared to the previous year or what people like me say about it. As long as you want it, you should get it. So, if you’ve decided to get one of the new Galaxy S25 series devices, you should know that Samsung is throwing in a nice bonus in the form of a bundle of premium subscriptions. Yes, all for free.
This year’s bundle might not be as rich as usual, but you’ll still get your hands on some good value, as all three of them are worth about $80 in total. That’s not bad at all.
Adobe Lightroom for 2 Months
With a camera that’s as good as the one on Samsung’s S series flagships, you usually don’t need to worry about editing. The pictures look fantastic out of the camera. However, for those who want a professional look and know their way around RAW editing, Adobe Lightroom can be a game-changer.
You’ll get free two months of Adobe Lightroom, but only if you’re a new customer. That’s a total value of $25.78.
Peacock Premium for 3 Months
Peacock Premium is a great way to jump into streaming on your new device, and considering that you get three whole months for three, it won’t be a bad idea to check out the platform’s content. You have to be a new customer to take advantage though. Three months amounts to $23.97 in value. Of course, Peacock is only available in the US, so that’s a downside.
SiriusXM Streaming for 3 Months
If you love podcasts, radio talk shows, music, and so on, then you’re the kind of person that SiriusXM Streaming was made for. Just $9.99, you can get access to news, talk, sports, and music radio channels, and whether you’ve used the service before or not, you’ll get access. That’s $29.97 in value.
You Also Get Gemini Advanced for Free for 6 Months
It definitely doesn’t hurt that Samsung and Google have partnered to offer all Galaxy S25 owners six months of access to Gemini Advanced, its highest-end AI model. Considering all the new Gemini magic that the new phones are getting, that’s definitely a nice thing to throw in. It might be enough to convince some to stick to the Advanced plan.
