Key Takeaways
- The Google Store offers reconditioned phones from the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series.
- Google promises that the quality of these phones is the best.
- Google will provide customer support options and a one-year limited warranty for these reconditioned devices.
Customers can now buy reconditioned Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 phones from Google at up to 40% less than their original cost through the Google Store.
According to Google, its professionals will thoroughly examine these reconditioned phones to make sure they are of the best caliber and have like-new screens and batteries. These reconditioned phones cost the following for the 128GB models:
Pixel 6: $339, down from $599 originally
Pixel 6 Pro: $539, down from $899
Pixel 6A: $249, when it was $449
Pixel 7: $429, down from $599 originally
Pixel 7 Pro: $629, down from $899
Google has stated that these reconditioned smartphones would come with the same one-year limited warranty and customer support choices as its new phones, but it has not disclosed the costs of the other storage options. Though the business has not provided specifics regarding the condition of the batteries in these reconditioned phones, Google is probably going to replace the batteries in reconditioned phones as Apple and Samsung do when necessary.
When purchasing a refurbished phone from third-party marketplaces, the main worry is that it’s likely to be damaged or have other major problems. The official release of the Pixel 6, Pixel 6A, and Pixel 7 through the Google Store, however, will provide customers more assurance that they will be getting a higher-quality device.
Users will also be encouraged to buy these gadgets directly from the Google Store rather than via third-party refurbishers, even if the latter may have somewhat lower prices, because Google’s warranty and return policy will offer further assurance.
