Google Pixel 6a 5G, US Version, 128GB, Charcoal - Unlocked (Renewed)

I was initially hesitant to try an older model, refurbished phone, but I’ve now bought two of these in “renewed/refurbished - excellent condition,” and I would highly recommend them. Both work like new, though the second one arrived with a small ding, and its charger didn’t work. I contacted Amazon, and they immediately offered to send me a replacement or provide a partial refund.The phone takes great photos, even when zoomed out, though it’s not the best for low-light or night shots. The main drawback is the battery life—it dies very quickly, even when not in use. Both phones usually lasted me less than a day, even in battery saver mode and with deliberate efforts to conserve battery.I recommend setting up “Find My Phone” in advance or giving Google permission to track your location. I hadn’t set it up and lost my phone; when I tried to find it, Google could only track it to locations I’d visited days before. Google does offer the option to display a message across your screen and make it buzz loudly if someone nearby can hear it. However, these features are only available for a short time after the battery dies, and unfortunately, I didn’t notice it was missing until it was already too late. Although still a bit pricey, I liked the phone enough to buy it again!

Phone was unlocked. Set up was easy. Came with a screen protector on it already. All info transferred flawlessly. Pictures are so clear and very good.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:NOT UNLOCKED & NO REFUND Received this ‘unlocked’ Pixel for it to still be locked to Verizon. Not wanting to go through the hassle of returning, I go to Verizon online- I can’t unlock it until it’s been active for 90 days. I need a phone now!When returned, they hold onto my money with no update for over a month. I wish I could give less than 1 star.

Refurbished Pixel phone works fine at an affordable price. You can tell the glass has been replaced because there's a glue line. Also there was some lint / dirt in the bottom openings on the phone. I suppose the reseller could have done a better job cleaning the phone up, but it was marked as good condition and not excellent condition. I like the fact that this phone has the fingerprint sensor on the screen so you don't have to reach around to use it. I haven't tried the camera yet. I like the smaller form. I was getting tired of having a phone that would not fit in my pocket. Set up was seamless since everything is stored with Google. The phone is fast and has plenty of storage.

Decent phone, found it looked new, with no major scratches or dings. One gripe is the bootloader is locked to VZ. I was able to get it working with a T-Mobile carrier, but couldn't load GrapheneOS. The battery seems to be a decent shape running about 2.5 days with very light use. I'll be using it as a stripped down MP3 player , it'll do well in that application.

i have been using the phone for a several days and have it fully configured and mostly tested... the screen and camera glass is flawless as advertised, but there was a deep scratch on the back that was perceived by touch... the seller immediately corrected this with a discount... other than that, the product is as advertised and a great value...

My teenage son broke his pixel 6a, so we wanted a replacement that wasn't cost-prohibitive. I was a little hesitant to buy a renewed phone, but he's been using it for over a week and it's been great. It was truly unlocked, and transferring the data from his old pixel 6a to this one was easy even though his old phone was totally non-functioning.

My Pixel 4a 5g was my favorite phone be until it died a week ago. This phone wasn't much more expensive than buying a replacement for the 4a 5g, and it will receive security updates for a few more years, so I decided to upgrade. The processor is definitely quicker (although the 4a 5g was actually also plenty fast.) Battery life is pretty good, at least as good as what I had. The one very annoying downside is the fingerprint sensor. It only seems to work about 50% of the time. Google 's back mounted sensor was very, very reliable. This under-screen sensor stinks. If I wash my hands, then dry them with a towel, the sensor doesn't work. If my hands are too dry, the sensor doesn't work. If I look at the phone the wrong way while trying to unlock it... you get the idea. I wish Google would just return to the rear mounted sensor that works and stop trying to mirror what everyone else is doing. People buy these for pure android simplicity. Sensors that just work are simply better.
