Hold on tight, Argentina! The government just announced a new interest-free installment plan for buying cell phones, and brands are already pulling out all the stops. Samsung, Motorola, Apple and Xiaomi are jumping on board with their heaviest models. If you were waiting for the right moment to change your phone, this is it: fixed installments in 12, 18 and even 24 interest-free payments. Crazy!
Let’s start with Samsung, which brings the Galaxy S24 Ultra, a beast with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 5000 mAh battery that lasts two days. Its 200 MP camera with 100x space zoom makes you feel like a paparazzo. And it runs on the Exynos 2400 processor (or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, depending on the region). All this for a price of $1,500,000, but with the plan you can get it in 24 installments of $62,500 interest-free. A steal!
Motorola is not far behind and releases the Moto G84 5G, a mid-range that makes a strong impression. 6.55-inch pOLED FHD+ display at 120 Hz, 5000 mAh battery with 30W TurboPower charging, and 50 MP main camera with OIS sensor. Its Snapdragon 695 processor gives you good daily performance. Price: $450,000, or 18 installments of $25,000 interest-free. You’re getting a great deal!
Apple, as always, takes the crown with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, A17 Pro chip that flies, 4422 mAh battery with 27W fast charging, and a triple camera system of 48 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP with 5x optical zoom. The price is steep: $2,200,000, but in 24 interest-free installments it comes to $91,666 per month. Hurts less!
Xiaomi also goes all in with the Redmi Note 13 Pro+. 6.67-inch AMOLED display at 120 Hz, 5000 mAh battery with 120W HyperCharge (charges in 19 minutes!), 200 MP camera with OIS and MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra processor. Price: $550,000, or 18 installments of $30,555 interest-free. A rocket!
How to access the plan? The participating banks are Nación, Provincia, Galicia, Santander, BBVA and Macro. You need a credit card from these banks and look for the phones in official stores (Mercado Libre, Frávega, Garbarino, etc.). The installments apply directly without needing a promo code. But watch out! The plan has a cap of $1,000,000 final price, so the most expensive models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max require a 50% down payment and the rest in installments.
In short, if you want a new phone without breaking the bank, this plan is the way to go. Samsung, Motorola, Apple and Xiaomi give you high-end and mid-range specs at prices that, with interest-free installments, become more tempting than a Sunday barbecue. Hurry, stocks are running out!
