Xiaomi 15 Ultra may have free Gemini advanced

In a welcome development for Xiaomi users, the future Xiaomi 15 Ultra might include a free subscription of the premium Google Gemini Advanced AI service. Recent APK analysis of the v16.7.21.sa.arm64 of the Google application has identified code strings that include Xiaomi alongside the pre-existing references of Samsung and Pixel models regarding the deals of the Gemini Advanced subscription.

This will imply that Xiaomi’s future flagship will be the third device after the Pixel 9 series of Google and the Galaxy S25 series of Samsung that will offer users a lot of extra value in the form of free usage of the advanced AI of Google.

While the specific Xiaomi device does not appear specifically named within the code, the timing strongly indicates the Xiaomi 15 Ultra that will be announced at a March 2 launch event. This addition will be a major selling factor with the buyer because the Gemini Advanced subscription normally charges a monthly fee of $20 and unlocks the strongest capabilities of the AI assistant not available with the free option.

What is Gemini Advanced?

Gemini Advanced is the higher tier of the AI assistant program of Google and has extra features not contained in the standard program. The paid option has a monthly price of $20 and a yearly price of $240. The individuals who use the paid option receive extra AI features, better reasoning capabilities, and superior execution of complex tasks.

Google bundling the flagship phones with the Gemini Advanced tracks the company’s larger push toward shifting users away from the original Google Assistant and toward the company’s newer system of Gemini. Users will be exposed to the additional features with the temporary free premium tier offer and may be willing to keep the subscription active once the free period has elapsed.

Potential Duration and Value

While the period of the future free Gemini Advanced offer with Xiaomi models has yet been announced, business commentators project it will be the same period that goes with premium-handset offerings. Considering the incentives that presently prevail, a half-year subscription becomes a possibility that will be the equivalent of a sum of about $120 added to the price of Xiaomi 15 Ultra buyers.

If it priced it at the highest of the current highest deals, a 240-dollar subscription period of a year may be within reach with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra making it an even better option among buyers of the latest AI capabilities.

Strategic Importance

Including a Gemini Advanced subscription with a flagship device will demonstrate the company’s desire to offer competitive software experiences with the company’s higher-spec hardware offerings. This will also position Xiaomi stronger in premium smartphone markets where the capabilities of the software and the strengths of the ecosystem begin to play a larger role in the customer purchase behavior.

From the company’s side, expanding the Gemini Advanced program to Xiaomi gadgets raises the company’s customer base of the AI system and has the promise of accelerating the rates of acceptance in Xiaomi-dominant territories such as the Asian and the European continents.

Confirmation Expected Shortly

With Xiaomi’s March 2 presentation upcoming, we won’t be waiting long to know the last word regarding whether the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will really offer a free Gemini Advanced subscription and how long such an offer will be good for.

This upcoming addition also increases anticipation for what promises to be an incredible device showcase with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra expected to incorporate cutting-edge camera technology, higher processing power, and innovative design features that have been a characteristic of Xiaomi Ultra models.

For those looking at a purchase of a brand-new flagship device in the near future, the addition of a top-of-the-range AI subscription tier may be the clincher that will put the Xiaomi 15 Ultra at the top of the pile in an increasingly competitive field.
