What is Vivo's Samsung test drive program?

Vivo, one of Brazil's largest mobile carriers, has set up dedicated display zones in its physical stores where shoppers can handle the new Samsung foldable phones before committing to a purchase. The initiative covers the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 — all launched at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in July.

Which devices can you try in store?

  • Galaxy Z Fold 8 (512 GB) — 21 interest-free installments of R$ 381
  • Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (512 GB) — 21 interest-free installments of R$ 429
  • Galaxy Z Flip 8 (512 GB) — 21 interest-free installments of R$ 300
  • Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 — also available for hands-on testing

What discounts and perks are on offer?

The installment prices above apply when customers sign up for a Vivo Total Família 4 or 5 plan at the time of purchase. Customers who registered during the pre-order window can get an additional R$ 250 off smartphones or smartwatches — valid on the Vivo online store until 6 September.

Buying a phone and smartwatch together can unlock discounts of more than R$ 2,000 on the watch price. In physical stores, the Vivo Renova trade-in programme offers up to R$ 1,000 off when you hand in a working used smartphone.

What bonus comes with the purchase?

Every buyer of a qualifying Samsung device through this promotion receives six months of Google AI Pro, which includes AI features and up to 5 TB of cloud storage.
