Samsung is preparing to make a significant expansion in its subscription services. In February 2025, the company will announce the launch of a subscription service for Galaxy smartphones and the Ballie robot in South Korea and the US. This move is part of the company's broader strategy to implement subscription services for home appliances and gadgets, offering users more flexible access to Samsung devices.

Galaxy Smartphone Subscription: What to Expect

According to ETNews, from February 2025, users will be able to subscribe to new Galaxy smartphones starting with the Galaxy S25, which is expected to be unveiled on January 22, 2025. The subscription will be available in South Korea and the US, confirming the company's global ambitions to roll out the new service. Users will not only be able to rent the devices but also receive regular updates and new models, adding more flexibility to smartphone usage.

Ballie Robot: From Concept to Subscription

Additionally, Samsung plans to offer a subscription for the Ballie robot, which was first introduced at CES 2020. Although the robot has yet to be released for sale, Samsung continues to work on it and now plans to offer it through a subscription. The service will initially be available in South Korea, followed by the US. Ballie is intended to become a smart home assistant, performing various tasks and interacting with other Samsung devices.

Galaxy AI: Free Access Until the End of 2025

As for Galaxy AI, in contrast to the subscription for devices, the AI features will remain free for users until the end of 2025. Earlier, it was mistakenly interpreted that Samsung would restrict access to Galaxy AI in February, but it has now been clarified that this will only apply to the subscription for devices and the Ballie robot. Third-party AI features may have different terms depending on Samsung's partners.

Conclusion

Samsung is continuously expanding its subscription services, and the launch of subscriptions for smartphones, the Ballie robot, and Galaxy AI in 2025 is set to be a key step in transforming the company's technological ecosystem. Users will gain new opportunities for interacting with Samsung products and services, while Samsung strengthens its presence in the gadget and tech services market.
