Google Store Offers Big Discounts on Refurbished Pixel Phones
Do you remember the days when Pixel phones were known for being more affordable than iPhones and Samsung Galaxies, without having to wait for a newer variant to get a good deal? Those were the good old days. But if you’re still a fan of Pixel phones and love a good bargain, you might want to check out the new refurbished section of the official Google Store, which is now offering significant discounts on phones with full one-year warranties.
As of now, the Google Store is only offering these discounts on Pixel models in the US. Here’s a breakdown of the phones and their discounted prices:
- Pixel 6a — $249
- Pixel 6, 128GB — $339
- Pixel 6, 256GB — $389
- Pixel 6 Pro — $539
- Pixel 7, 128GB — $429
- Pixel 7, 256GB — $479
- Pixel 7 Pro, 128GB — $629
- Pixel 7 Pro, 256GB — $679
- Pixel 7 Pro, 512GB — $779
It’s worth noting that the availability of different capacities and colors may vary as Google’s supply of refurbished phones changes. While newer Pixel 8 and 9 series phones are not currently included in the refurbished section, they may be added in the future as Google looks to clear out inventory.
However, if you’re in the market for a Pixel Watch, you won’t find any in the refurbished section of the Google Store. Pixel Watches are difficult to repair, so the only ones available in this program are open-box items. It’s unclear whether refurbished sales will be expanded outside of the US in the future.
While receiving full Google support is a great benefit, it’s worth mentioning that you may be able to find better deals on these phones elsewhere. For example, a quick search on Amazon reveals a brand-new Pixel 7 Pro 128GB for just $405. If you’re willing to consider a “renewed” phone, you can even find a Pixel 6a for as low as $184, though it may not come with a warranty. Depending on your preference, the added peace of mind from purchasing through the Google Store may be worth the additional cost.
