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.

Unsafe battery in my Google Pixel 6a!!! I bought the “Used” version of this phone, sold by ElectroDealz LLC for ~$138. The battery in mine was a straight up safety hazard!! It swelled up after a few weeks, and I feared it would explode, though it fortunately did not end up rupturing.I reached down to grab the phone one day and realized that the top of the screen had detached and was protruding about 1/4” from the case. At first I thought I had done something to break it, but when I tried to push the screen back in I immediately realized that battery had suddenly expanded and was forcing the screen out! I obviously had no idea what kinds of chemical reactions were taking place inside the battery, and for all I knew it could blow up any second. So I scooped it up with a shovel and put it in a metal trash can.It was still within the return window, but I figured I would do the responsible thing and actually talk to Amazon before just tossing it in a box and slapping a return label on it. But when I chatted with Amazon customer service I was a little bit blown away by their instructions.First they told me to please power off the device. Like they wanted me to handle this hazardous thing that I had just told them seemed like it might explode. I told them there was no way I was touching it until the battery drained by itself. Then they said I needed to put it in a cardboard box and place it on my front porch and that UPS would come pick it up the following day. I told them that the battery might not be drained by tomorrow and that I wasn’t going to put this thing in a flammable cardboard box on my front porch - and then just leave it there for some unsuspecting UPS driver to come pick it up and put it in their truck. The Amazon associate told me to rest assured that this is all part of proper protocol. I told them to give me a few days so that I could be sure it was safe, and they said they would.But then sure enough the very next day, the UPS driver came when I wasn’t home and the phone was still sitting in the metal can. Fortunately, the UPS driver was kind enough to leave the shipping label on my front door. The next day I wrapped the dead phone up tightly in electrical tape, put it in a cardboard box as instructed, and took it to UPS where I informed them of the situation in person.All around it was a very regrettable experience. It’s insane to me that someone would use cheap, hazardous batteries like this in the products on their Amazon stores. Even though the battery didn’t rupture, it was still a safety hazard that nobody should have to deal with when buying a “refurbished” phone on Amazon. Luckily I found this phone brand new in its original factory sealed packaging through a different online vendor for $200, and I was more than happy to pay the extra money for a battery that I know isn’t going to swell up in a few weeks.Buyer beware!!

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.

The phone was delivered quickly.Visually, the condition is almost perfect.But the number of charges is more than 400 - and this is not so good, since the battery will need to be replaced soon.

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...

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.
