Google Pays Big for Samsung Spot

Google is paying Samsung a huge amount of money to make its Gemini AI app the main helper on new Galaxy S25 phones — pushing Samsung’s own Bixby aside.

Key Takeaways:

• Google gives Samsung a huge monthly payment to preinstall Gemini AI.

• Gemini became the default assistant on Galaxy S25 phones in January 2025.

• Samsung had offers from other companies like Microsoft and Perplexity too.

• Google also promised Samsung a share of Gemini’s subscription money.

• The U.S. government is questioning these deals because of Google’s past monopoly behavior.

Why It’s Important: This story shows how tech giants like Google spend tons of money to stay on top — and how it could all change if courts decide they’re playing unfairly.
