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

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.

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!

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.

Bought as refurbished-excellent condition for $216 when brand new was selling for $299. The phone came in brand new condition! Very impressed!I love everything about the phone except the battery, which is only good. It lasts the whole day but some days I get close to running out of power. If the battery life were about 20% better I’d say the phone is perfect. Maybe a brand new phone would have a better battery? Reviewers have noticed the Pixel 6a don’t have fantastic battery life too so i don’t think it’s due to my phone being refurbished.Phone is very fast, good display. While only 60hz it’s very nice and a high quality screen. Most apps load in less than two seconds. Haven’t played any games yet but suspect those would perform well too. I have found the in screen fingerprint reader to work very well. Not sure why others have an issue with it being flakey.I’d consider my iPhone 9/10. I’d give the Pixel 6a 8/10. That’s very good, considering the iPhone 14 is a lot more expensive. The Pixel is a great phone value. Flagship features for an affordable price. If you want a great phone that is not going to cost a lot, the Pixel is a great choice.

My renewed unit looks like a new one, no complaints so far, all worked as expected

I bought this phone as a backup for my Pixel 6 Pro, in case it gets damaged or stolen while traveling, and I'm happy to have this "Mini Me" version, so to speak. It's not compatible with e-SIM, but fortunately, it is not difficult to find physical SIM cards anywhere. It meets all my requirements for a smartphone and has an excellent camera.

The seller sent a slip with the product saying the phone would say it was locked by Verizon but it would work after completing the setup. Setup completed twice with all updates and Sim is still locked. When contacted, their only response was a return slip which is unneeded since it's smarter to return through Amazon anyway. Time without phone, and cannot replace and get the same price.Edit: I returned the phone and got another one in the mail. This one works great and has no issues. Based on the packaging, it seems like it was packed and shipped by a different seller. I would guess the Amazon seller works with multiple suppliers.

It's a very nice phone. It has a few oddities like fingerprint reader under screen, camera in the screen too. So people can easily see what finger your using and that you have registered. Not great. But not terrible either. Camera has a small black hole in the front screen and I honestly never notice it anymore. Best of all, if you buy a unlocked version (be careful, carrier unlock is NOT the same as bootloader unlocked)... If you want to use a custom rom, you will need BOTH unlocked. Luckily the phones are abundant and they are still cheap. My custom rom gives me TEN YEARS of OS updates, security, features. That alone makes it very desirable. It's light, thin and fast. I like CPU intensive games and it handles them like a champ. Screen is bright, colors are vibrant with lots of options. Sound it really good. The Pixel 6a does NOT have an SD expansion tray. They want you to use their cloud, because of course they do! So get the biggest memory you can. Also the 6a has 99% of the bugs fixed. So allot of older reviews are not accurate anymore. Flagship phone with lots of options to fettle to your liking without having to sell your house to buy one. Recommended 10/10
