Google Pixel 6a 5G, US Version, 128GB, Sage - 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 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.

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.

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

Great

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!

I bought one of the 6a phones for my older son and he said it was working fine for him and his online sales business. A couple months later I ordered one for myself. Both were very good condition refurnished phones. My 6a phone had the worst sound for phone calls of all the phones I've ever owned over many years. Nobody could hear well on that phone and no adjustments helped. Amazon did allow me to return it, but I fell on ice and could not try to return it until the very last day, today, Jan. 10, 2025. Snow is piling up and, of course, I am a senior and not very interested in testing my stability of snow that is piling up. They directed me to UPS for the location of a dropbox. It also said they could pick up the package. When I called, I was told, even with the info on the return package, I owed $27.00 for the pickup. I drove on ice and snow, a 6 mile round trip, got out of the car, put it in the drop box, and returned home. Safely, but I saw a UPS truck about a half mile from my home just as I reached my neighborhood. I guess this is a complaint against UPS, more than Amazon. But, my rating is for the phone itself. Disappointed, but may not be a common problem.

The phone came on time, was unlocked and without a physical flaw on the screen. I love it!
