Users of Samsung Galaxy devices are now eating well. After providing free access to photo editing software and streaming services, the business is now offering millions of current Galaxy phone and tablet owners a new free subscription.

New information about the collaboration between Samsung and Perplexity was added to this story on June 23. The Korean company is offering U.S. owners of Galaxy phones and tablets a complimentary 12-month subscription to the chatbot Perplexity AI Pro, valued at $200. Download the Perplexity AI app from the Galaxy Store, register, and get the discount. That's all; you ought to have access to Perplexity AI's Pro tier for an entire year.
Perplexity is recognisable to anyone who has used Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot, or any other chatbot. Because it consistently cites its sources, it asserts that it prioritises accuracy. With the Pro edition, users can customise the output results from AI models like as Google's Gemini, Claude 3, and GPT-4 Omni. Additional Pro features include file uploads, text-to-image generation, and a higher number of daily searches, which leverages additional sources to provide more thorough responses.
This year, Samsung has given away more software than any other. Disney Plus was the last year-long subscription that Samsung gave to Galaxy subscribers under its now-defunct "Boost" program. Two years later, a similar, more 2025-themed freebie is available only to Galaxy phone owners in the United States. The only subscription service that comes with a Galaxy S25 purchase that lasts longer than a month is Gemini Advanced, which is available for six months. A Samsung phone isn't worth purchasing for any of those free software offers, but it is for the free tablet and trade-in offers.
The Perplexity offer, however, has the advantage of not requiring the purchase of a new phone. See if you can still get the subscription by searching for an old Samsung phone. If it works, please let me know.
Samsung’s Big Freebie Gamble
Samsung has given away a Galaxy S25 with some TVs, increased trade-in rates to previously unheard-of levels, and included a free tablet and pair of Galaxy Buds with Galaxy S25 orders so far this year.
The Galaxy S25 Edge has the best deals and promotions, which may be connected to a recent rumour that suggested the gadget isn't selling well. For the Edge, Samsung has introduced some of its most aggressive trade-in pricing I've seen, which suggests that might be the case. Additionally, it demonstrates the extent to which the Korean corporation will go in order to sell handsets, suggesting that more offers for the Edge and other Galaxy phones may be forthcoming.

Update June 23rd: Because the availability of Perplexity on Samsung devices may be in doubt, U.S. customers should take advantage of this offer. Apple is reportedly considering purchasing the AI startup, according to Bloomberg. Although they may not result in an offer, Apple officials and "top AI decision makers" are now debating a purchase.
Samsung's personal stake in the chatbot further complicates matters. With its own investment in the AI firm to solidify the connection, the Korean company is reportedly on the verge of announcing a deal with Perplexity. This may lead to Perplexity becoming the default assistant on the Galaxy S26 and integrating with Samsung's proprietary AI, Bixby, according to Bloomberg.
The implications of this for Google's collaboration with Samsung, where Gemini emerged as the Galaxy S25's de facto AI assistant, are unclear. But given Perplexity's emphasis on search result accuracy as opposed to Google's more flexible Gemini, I can see why Samsung would choose this course of action. In order to assess Galaxy phone users' interest in the chatbot before a more significant integration into upcoming Samsung phones, the two businesses are probably strengthening their connection by offering Perplexity Pro for free.
