Samsung Galaxy phone owners can score free Perplexity Pro

Samsung is one of the pioneers in implementing artificial intelligence in mobile devices. Most of the AI-powered features on Galaxy phones are derived from Google developments. However, recent reports suggest the company may be looking to diversify its offering with a deal with Perplexity AI. In line with this, Samsung is offering Perplexity Pro for free on its tablets and phones for US customers.

For a limited time, Samsung is bundling a free one-year subscription to Perplexity Pro for eligible Galaxy devices purchased in the United States. This isn't just a small perk; this subscription normally costs a significant $200 annually. Well, you can get it at no extra charge.

How to claim your free year of Perplexity Pro on your Samsung Galaxy device

Getting the free year of Perplexity Pro on your Samsung Galaxy device is simple. If you have an eligible smartphone or tablet in the US, simply head over to the Galaxy Store. First, search for and download the Perplexity AI app. Once installed, open the app and either sign in to your existing account or create a new one. And that's it. Many users have confirmed that the Pro version activates automatically upon installation from the Galaxy Store.

It's worth noting that some users have found that if the app is already installed, uninstalling it and then reinstalling it directly from the Galaxy Store might be necessary to activate the complimentary Pro subscription.

What is Perplexity Pro?

For those unfamiliar, think of Perplexity as an AI chatbot competing with the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. It can answer your questions by synthesizing information from various sources to provide direct, cited results, saving you time and effort. With the Pro version, you'll gain an expanded capacity for "Deep Research," allowing for up to 500 more comprehensive “automatic” investigations each day. The Pro tier also enables access to a selection of top-tier AI models.

Essentially, Perplexity Pro transforms your Galaxy device into an incredibly robust research tool, perfect for students, professionals, or anyone with a curious mind. Being able to get it for a year free—saving you over $200—is a fantastic perk.
