Google now sells certified refurbished Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 phones at a discount
If you want a Pixel but don’t want to splurge for the latest Pixel 9 family, or even the older Pixel 8 series, you can now get certified refurbished Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices straight from Google’s online store.
The Pixel 6 is priced from $339 (originally $599), the Pixel 6 Pro goes for $539 (originally $899), and the Pixel 6a is $249 (originally $449).
The Pixel 7 can be yours for $429 (originally $599), and the Pixel 7 Pro is priced at $629 (originally $899).
These prices, while good, aren’t amazing, but on the other hand you are getting warranty straight from Google and these should be like new, having undergone the refurbishment process. Google promises they are carefully inspected by technicians and the warranty is the same 1-year you’d get if you bought new handsets.
Each phone gets the latest Android software before it’s packaged, Google says, so there’s a chance you could get one of these with Android 15 on board. The refurbished unit will arrive in a new box and ships with a compatible charger.
