YouTube is warning some Premium Lite subscribers about more ads next month, but don't worry
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Premium Lite offers a budget-priced paid subscription that removes most ads from YouTube. Exceptions have included things like music videos, and in some markets Google has warned that Shorts may show ads, as well. The company is now sending out notices to more subscribers warning them that ads in Shorts will start appearing at the end of June. YouTube Premium is well worth paying for, giving users ad-free access to maybe the broadest library of content in streaming history. But especially if you get your music fix from another provider (like paying for Spotify Premium), it doesn't make a ton of sense to be paying full price for YouTube Premium and not taking advantage of its YouTube Music access. That's exactly why we were so happy to see Google introduce YouTube Premium Lite, which just focuses on removing (most) ads without worrying about any extras — and does so for a fraction of the price. While Premium Lite removes the vast majority of ads from normal videos, we've known that Google has carved out a series of exceptions. Those consist of 'music content, Shorts, and when you search or browse.' So far, at least in our experience, those have proved to be minimal, and we've found Premium Lite to offer a very reasonable compromise to paying full price. That said, the situation is now changing a bit, and not for the better — at least for Premium Lite subscribers in some regions. Google has recently been sending out emails to Premium Lite users in Germany, according to Deskmodder (via 9to5Google). These advise subscribers that ads in YouTube Shorts will start appearing as of June 30. We've also uncovered TWiT Community user big_D sharing the same message (this time in English). Curious why Google would be sending out notifications about ads we already knew about, and wondering why these messages didn't seem to be targeted at Premium Lite users in all nations, we reached out to Google in the hopes of getting some clarification. And it turns out that there's a simple explanation for all of this. You may recall that when we first began hearing about Premium Lite in testing last fall, it wasn't yet available in the US, instead getting started in Australia, Germany, and Thailand. And it turns out, as Google was still getting its plans for the service together, it hadn't told subscribers in Germany and Thailand that they'd be seeing ads in Shorts. By the time access expanded to the US, ads in Shorts were on the table from the beginning, but Google is only going back now and notifying customers in Germany and Thailand that they're getting them, too. So that's what going on with these emails: Most Premium Lite subscribers already knew about ads for Shorts, and now YouTube's telling the rest of you. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Samsung Makes New Free Offer To Galaxy S25 Edge Buyers
Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge is the slimmest ever Galaxy phone. One month after its launch and just weeks after the last serious Galaxy S25 discount, the Galaxy S25 Edge has already been included in its first major promotion. Samsung U.K. is running a familiar deal that gives away a free Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, worth £359 ($485), with all Galaxy S25 Edge purchases. This is alongside up to £468 trade-in value (more on this later), 2TB of cloud storage for six months, three months of Samsung Care Plus and 30% off select accessories. The trade-in values, free subscriptions and discounted accessories are commonly used makeweights in Samsung promotions. The headline deal here is the free tablet bundled with the phone. The Korean company has a habit of throwing in an expensive freebie with smartphones. The Galaxy Tab A9 Plus appears to be the most popular, but I have seen Samsung bundle a free Chromebook, free earbuds, a free Galaxy watch and even the Galaxy S25 itself given away for free. Readers of my deals stories will know that the sacrifice for these freebies is historically poor trade-in valuations compared to U.S. pricing. But, in an unexpected move, that appears to have suddenly changed. Samsung U.K. is now offering equivalent prices for used devices compared to Samsung U.S.—even beating American valuations in some cases. For example, U.K. shoppers will get £341 ($461.41) for their Galaxy S22 Ultra compared to the U.S. store's $500 price. Things get better with the S23 Ultra, which is priced at £449 ($607.54), beating the U.S. shop's $580 valuation. I don't know what inspired Samsung to u-turn on U.K. and European trade-in pricing, but there may be a clue in the Galaxy S25 Edge's early sales information. Samsung's new ultra slim Galaxy S25 Edge. According to its industry sources, SamMobile claim's that Samsung's early Galaxy S25 Edge sales are below expectations. The site also theorizes that the company's lack of sales data in Korea and pre-order deals—that improved as the days went on—are signs that the device hasn't sold well. This wouldn't surprise me because it is an entirely new device that doesn't have the history of the main flagship line behind it to inspire confidence in consumers. I'm also not entirely convinced the Edge will be around for the long run. A Samsung representative I spoke with explained that the company had to redesign essential components to fit into the Edge's smaller chassis. I suspect these new design methods will be repurposed into other flagship devices, like the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung has done this before with the original Galaxy Note Edge phone back in 2014, which disappeared after one launch, with the curved screen technology being subsumed into the main Galaxy S line. The combination of the Edge potentially not selling widely, the newly enhanced trade-in prices, and the possibility that it is a one-and-done device, alongside this early freebie promotion, could mean more aggressive discounts on the horizon.
