Samsung's new flagship Z Fold 7 might come with Veo 3 and other cool AI freebies
Samsung's upcoming foldable flagships, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, will include a Google AI Pro subscription and limited access to Veo 3 AI video generation, a new report claims.
Android Authority found some tantalizing clues for this by digging through the code of Google's latest Android app, where Samsung's new foldables are mentioned as eligible for free Google AI offers.
If this really turns out to be a free subscription for buyers of Samsung's new foldables, it'll be a very nice bonus, given that the Google AI Pro subscription costs $19.99 per month. It's unclear how long the free subscription will last, though buyers of the Samsung Galaxy S25 got six months of Gemini Advanced (the former name of Google AI Pro) for free.

Besides being a nice perk, access to Google AI Pro will likely encourage Samsung phone owners to experiment with Google's AI tools. In the case of Google AI Pro, this means access to Gemini's most capable AI model, 2.5 Pro, as well as Veo 3.
Veo 3 is Google's latest AI video generation model, and it's currently the most advanced AI video maker of its kind, delivering both realistic visuals and matching dialogue and sound effects. Per Tech Radar, this deal would give Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 customers free access to Veo 3 Fast as well as Flow, an AI filmmaking tool.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, which are likely coming in July, have been detailed in numerous reports and rumors, giving us a pretty good idea of what the phones will be like. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, in particular, is likely to come with a new, 200-megapixel main camera, a large, 4,400mAh battery, and a thinner, lighter, and a more durable body. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly also boast an ultra-thin design and will have a larger cover display and a 4,300mAh battery.
Samsung itself teased an upcoming foldable phone in a press release in June, saying that it will be the "next chapter of Ultra," but the company didn't share any specs or details.
The exact launch date for these phones hasn't been announced yet, but it's probably happening in early July. For reference, Samsung launched its foldable phones on July 10 last year, so we're probably looking at a similar date this year.
