BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): The Galaxy Watch 8 LTE is an interesting option for those looking for a complete smartwatch and want to maintain the connection even when their cell phone is not nearby.

On Black Friday, the choice between the Bluetooth version and the 4G variant needs to consider more than the difference in the label: LTE is really useful for some profiles, but it can be an unnecessary expense for those who always have their smartphone with them.

The Galaxy Watch 8 arrived in Brazil in 2025 in 40 mm and 44 mm versions. At launch, LTE cost R$3,299 and R$3,499, respectively. The Bluetooth versions had suggested prices of R$2,999 and R$3,199.

The values ​​dropped significantly in 2026. In October, offers reached approximately R$1,200 for the 40 mm LTE model and approximately R$1,300 to R$1,400 for the 44 mm version. For Black Friday, these are the tracks we think are interesting:

Prices are purchase targets, not guaranteed offers. The final value may change depending on the store, coupon, Pix and availability.

The LTE version uses eSIM and can receive calls, messages and access certain services over the mobile network, even without a Bluetooth connection to the smartphone. This is useful for running, walking, training or going out quickly without taking your cell phone. Activation depends on a supported carrier and plan.

The feature does not turn the watch into a complete smartphone replacement. Some applications and functions still depend on the paired device, the configured account or specific services. Furthermore, using the mobile network can increase battery consumption, especially in places with weak signal.

The Galaxy Watch 8 offers a high-brightness Super AMOLED display, dual-frequency GPS, health sensors, and integration with Wear OS and Google services. The model also has water resistance of 5 ATM, IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certification.
