Electronics and Gear in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
Electronics in Brazil are significantly more expensive than in other countries, often costing double or more due to high import duties. It is highly recommended to purchase or upgrade your personal gadgets, such as smartphones and laptops, before arriving in the country.

From real experience
