Thanks everyone for doing testing, and especially thanks for cho9736 their advice. Thanks also Peerless_Warrior for confirming it works with pre-existing accounts.
Instructions:
You must have a Samsung Galaxy Device (I personally tested on a Galaxy S22 Ultra and a Galaxy Note20 Ultra, but users in thread were also successful with devices such as Galaxy A20 and Galaxy Tab S9)
1.) If you already have the Perplexity app installed on your device via the Google Play store, uninstall it.
2.) Go to the Galaxy Store (red-ish icon with a white tote)
3.) Search for or find the Perplexity app. There may be a banner (see first screenshot), however you don't need to click the banner to redeem this offer.
4.) Install the Perplexity app, open the app.
5.) Either login into your current free Perplexity account or create a new Perplexity account.
6.) The account should automatically be upgraded to Perplexity Pro. You'll know it's upgraded when:
6a.) You'll see the words Perplexity Pro on top of the perplexity app homepage (see Screenshot 2)
6b.) You'll receive an email from [email protected] with the title "You've been upgraded to Perplexity Pro" (see Screenshot 3).
7.) If you aren't upgraded to Perplexity Pro after following the instructions above, in the Perplexity app, hit the top left icon to access Settings, then click Logout. Close the app. Then proceed to open the app again, and log back in. This should trigger the app upgrading you to Perplexity Pro.
Additionally, for me, it doesn't show that it auto-bills or auto-renews once the free 1 year is over (You have to go on the Desktop site to check subscription status). See Screenshot 4.

edit: uninstalled and reinstalled on 6/10 and I got it.
It's a $20 a month service and I just might sign up for it when my trial runs out.

I got the banner and installed it through Galaxy store. Signed up using a new email address but still it is showing me trial for pro. When I click on upgrade it does not show my any cost. Did you do anything to enable pro?
I am experiencing the same. Tried another account with a new email id, but no luck.

In addition, the idea that this is better than Gemini is kinda subjective. Just this weekend I was deciding between a 40/60 and 30/50 well pump switch. I asked both of them for an opinion, and Gemini was far more complete and specific.
So I don't know.....maybe this is good for some things, but my first interaction wasnt super impressive
