Samsung ended its hyper-generous rewards scheme, known as “Samsung Boost,” last year. However, with the arrival of the Galaxy S25 series, including the new S25 Edge, the company is bringing back freebies for Galaxy phone buyers.
The difference between the Boost scheme and this is that the new offer is available to U.S. Galaxy phone shoppers, whereas Boost was restricted to the U.K.
As is the typical with Samsung’s freebies, the U.S. scheme isn’t as generous as the Boost programme was, but there are some decent freebies here that sweeten the deal when it comes to buying a Galaxy phone. They’re also phone-specific.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 buyers will get the following for free.
- 50% off LumaFusion and a 30-day free trial to Storyblocks
- 3 months of Peacock Premium
- 6 months of SiriusXM
- 2 months of Adobe Lightroom
- 30-day free trial to ArcSite
Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Edge get the following for free.
- 3 months of Peacock Premium
- 6 months of SiriusXM
- 6 months of Gemini Advanced
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra gets all of the above, alongside a year-long subscription to Goodnotes.
Samsung May Have More Freebies Up Its Sleeve This Summer
These are solid, lengthy freebies. Particularly the Galaxy Z Fold 6 line-up, which is clearly tailored to the device’s large foldable display. But they don’t quite match up the final list of lenghy free subscriptions Samsung’s U.K. boost programme offered, which included Deezer, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, Microsoft 365, Readly, Calm and much more.
That may change as we edge closer to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 release this summer. But it is not uncommon for British shoppers to be handed free devices and services with their Galaxy purchases. In the last year, Samsung has given away a free Chromebook with Galaxy S24 purchases, a free tablet, free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro headphones and a free Galaxy Watch.
If you’re a U.S. shopper feeling hard done by, take some solace in the fact that Samsung’s American trade-in pricing far outstrips its valuations in Europe and the U.K. For example, Samsung will pay £263 ($347.00) for a used Galaxy S22 Ultra, whereas in the U.S., the company values it at $500. Clearly, Samsung’s internal purchasing data tells it that shoppers in Europe prefer a freebie over a trade-in, but that may be changing with the arrival of these free subscriptions.
