Google
now
sells
refurbished
Pixel
6,
Pixel
6A,
and
Pixel
7
phones
in
a
special
section
of
the
Google
Store.
The
company
says
that
these
phones
will
be
of
like-new
quality
with
phones,
screens,
and
batteries
that
technicians
“carefully
inspect”
and
are
offered
at
up
to
a
40
percent
discount
versus
their
original
price.
The
phones
also
come
with
the
same
1-year
limited
warranty
and
customer
support
options
as
a
new
phone.
Here’s
the
price
breakdown:
While
those
prices
cover
128GB
models,
Google
spokesperson
Patrick
Seybold
told
The
Verge
via
email
that
its
refurbished
section
will
offer
other
storage
tiers,
as
well.
You
might
find
older
Pixels
for
even
cheaper
elsewhere,
either
used
or
via
third-party
refurbishers,
but
the
warranty
and
return
policy
could
be
harder
to
match.
Google
says
the
phones
“undergo
meticulous
inspection,”
but
Seybold
stopped
short
of
guaranteeing
any
specifics
about
battery
health
when
we
asked.
Both
Samsung
and
Apple
replace
the
batteries
for
their
refurbished
phones,
while
Google’s
blog
post
says
“If
any
phones
need
work,
our
technicians
only
use
authentic
Google
parts
for
the
repairs.
Each
phone
gets
the
latest
Android
software
before
being
packaged
in
a
new
box,
and
comes
with
a
compatible
charger.”
