Samsung is making Google the go-to source for music on its new phones, and it’s throwing in some free perks for new buyers.
With the launch of the Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus Friday, Google’s Play Music streaming-tunes service will be the default player and service on new Samsung phones and tablets worldwide, Google said in a blog post.
Customers who buy a new Samsung phone or tablet will get two bonus deals. As part of the partnership, new-device owners can upload and stream up to 100,000 of their own songs to Google Play Music free — twice the storage offered to regular Google Play Music subscribers. They’ll also get a three-month free trial of Google Play Music. (The typical free trial lasts 30 days.)
Google Play Music will work with Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant competing with the likes of Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa.
