ZDNET’s key takeaways
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 users are entitled to a six-month subscription to Google AI Pro for free.
- The premium tier includes access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, Veo 3, 2TB of cloud storage, and more.
- You can renew the subscription or cancel it at expiration.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are among the hottest phones out right now, with Samsung touting recent preorder sales as the highest in the foldable lines’ history. According to a recent press release, carrier partners are seeing a nearly 60% increase in preorders compared to last year’s models. There’s also an uptick in in-store traffic as customers are eager to go hands-on with the lighter and thinner devices.
That’s to say, if you’re one of the many who recently purchased a Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, or Z Flip 7 FE, you’ll want to take advantage of all the benefits, bonuses, and extras that come with the new phones — one of which is valued at $120, but you must manually redeem it.

I’m talking about the six free months of Google AI Pro, which bundles enhanced features like access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, Veo 3 for AI-generated videos, 2TB of cloud storage, and previews of upcoming AI tools. The subscription typically costs $20 a month, but Samsung and Google will cover half a year’s worth of membership for free.
To redeem the offer, you’ll have to download the Google One app on the eligible Samsung phone. Upon logging into the Google account that you want the subscription associated with, the offer page should automatically appear for you to accept the terms and conditions.
It’s best to consider this as a trial. If you find any or all of the Google AI Pro benefits useful, then you can always renew the membership after six months. If not, you can always cancel it by returning to the Google One app and accessing the Membership plans tab within the expanded menu.
Also: Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro update makes the AI model even better at coding
Google’s offer, much like every other service trial, doesn’t necessarily exist to trick or steal your money. Much like how Costco samples almost always get me to impulsively buy frozen meals and sweet treats, Google is banking on its extensive suite of AI features to leave a lasting impression on your daily workflow, enough to make the $20-per-month cost feel more reasonable when it’s decision time.
