Prices Plummet! The Phones That Dropped the Most This Month on Mercado Libre Will Leave You Speechless

If you were waiting for the right moment to change your phone, it’s here. This month, smartphone prices on Mercado Libre took a plunge that not even inflation expected. Brands like Samsung, Motorola, Apple and Xiaomi have refreshed their stocks, and the discounts are so crazy it seems like they’re giving away technology. The best part? You can get them with fixed installments and up to 18 interest-free installments with certain banks. Here we tell you which models dropped the most and why you need to hurry before they fly off the shelves.

Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the king of the high-end. This beast with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, 120 Hz refresh rate and a 5000 mAh battery went from 1,499,999 pesos to 1,149,999 pesos, a drop of almost 350 grand. Its quad camera with a 200-megapixel main sensor, 10x optical zoom and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor make it a beast for photos and video. If you have a million to spare, it’s a steal.

On Motorola’s side, the Edge 40 Pro also joined the party. With a 6.67-inch OLED display, 144 Hz refresh rate, 4600 mAh battery and 125W turbo charging, it went from 1,099,999 pesos to 899,999 pesos. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and triple camera of 50 MP (main) + 50 MP (ultra wide) + 12 MP (telephoto) put it in competition with the best. Sure, wireless charging is left out, but at this price, you won’t miss it.

Apple didn’t lag behind. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, with a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, ProMotion 120 Hz, 4323 mAh battery and the A16 Bionic chip, dropped from 2,299,999 pesos to 1,999,999 pesos. Yes, two hundred grand less. Its triple 48 MP camera with sensor shift and 3x optical zoom remains one of the best on the market, though with Argentine prices, you have to think twice.

Xiaomi also joined in with the Redmi Note 12 Pro, which dropped from 399,999 pesos to 319,999 pesos. It has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, 120 Hz, 5000 mAh battery with 67W charging, and the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor. The 50 MP main camera with OIS takes very decent photos for the mid-range, and its price makes it a strong candidate for those who don’t want to spend a fortune.

In terms of financing, Mercado Libre offers fixed installments with credit cards from banks like Santander, Galicia or Nación, with terms of up to 18 interest-free installments on some models. There’s also the option to pay with Mercado Pago and get additional discounts if you use the current promo code. Keep in mind: these offers are for a limited time and stock flies, so if you see one you like, don’t think twice.

The cell phone landscape in Argentina is hotter than ever. With inflation and the crazy dollar, seeing these price drops is almost a miracle. Whether you want the best performance with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the balance of the Edge 40 Pro, the status of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, or the cost-benefit of the Redmi Note 12 Pro, now is the time. Don’t sleep on it, because these prices won’t last forever.
