Google Pixel 6 Pro 128GB Black - Excellent Condition (Refurbished)

First time utilizing Amazon renewable services, so certainly not trying to convey a wealth of experience. I ordered the Pixel 6 pro, paid $298. Brand new retail was $650. The unit I ordered was listed in "Excellent" condition. I received a generic box that included the phone which was professionally encased in a foam cover, a sim key, cable packaged, and charger sealed in plastic. The charger and cable appear to be new, the charger is a black samsung fast charger. Additionally they include a return label (in case you wish to send back the phone), and Amazon offers a 90 day return window. (normal is 60 day)The phone was clean (no smudges or fingerprints), and free from any blemishes. The only sign it was not brand new was a little discoloration near the microphone ... MoreFirst time utilizing Amazon renewable services, so certainly not trying to convey a wealth of experience.

(normal is 60 day)The phone was clean (no smudges or fingerprints), and free from any blemishes. The only sign it was not brand new was a little discoloration near the microphone and that may have been just the color of the protective screen. The phone booted up to the home screen with no data on it(like it had been tested). I factory reset it and the phone linked with my google account and Sim with no issues. I did need a double usb c cable(not included) to transfer data from my old phone (Pixel 2) to the new Pixel 6 Pro. The whole set up process was easy and the phone appears to be fully functional. The initial review of the phone itself. I bought this to replace a Pixel 7 (not a pro) that had a laundry list of problems including the dreaded spontaneously cracking rear camera lens. (Amazon accepted my return for a partial refund, Google would not honor warranty claim. ) My previous (to the Pixel 7)phone and the one I used in the interim was the Pixel 2 (love the pixel 2 all time favorite phone, just hasn't been supported since 2020, so is a little buggy, and battery life is terrible. )The Pixel 6 pro has an amazing camera set up. 4 times optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom. That being said I recognize the specs are better than both the Pixel 7 and 2, but Im not sure how many photos I take that truly take advantage of the increased capability. All three phones were completely adequate. The processor on all three phones is faster than I am, so Im not sure I can really rate the difference, but it is plenty fast and years of updates coming. Where I am super happy, the fingerprint scanner, the pixel 7 never worked very well, (maybe 1 out of 10, and I often had to wet my thumb for biometric authentication which made it better but still maybe 5 out of 10), nothing I did made a significant improvement(no protector, w/ protector, reinput fingerprints etc. ). The pixel 2 is the best fingerprint scanner I have ever used (I really like it being placed on the rear and using my index finger. ) That said the Pixel 6 Pro has the screen thumbprint scanner like the 7, but it works 9 out of 10 times, and honestly I think the 10th time may be because I miss the spot with my thumb. So huge improvement over the 7 and I can only hope google goes back to the rear one in the future(not holding my breath)Size, its taller than the 7, it is a pro, and both the regular 6 and 7 are much larger than the 2. I really liked the 2's size 6 inches, but none of the top phones are sub 6 inches anymore, and going from the 7 to the 6 pro really hasn't changed where I can put it or how I use it. So overall not a negative factor for me, but a both 7 and 6 pro are a little big for the front pocket. My initial impressions are really good, I am pleasantly surprised with Amazons renewal service, and the price point is fantastic (46% of new cost), also it is nice to give new life to a piece of tech that otherwise may have gone to the landfill. The pixel 6 pro at least initially seems to not have any of the issues I suffered through with the 7, the fingerprint scanner works, the USB C port works consistently, hopefully no issues with the screen or camera lens, I have protectors on both and a Spigen case. Also, the pro model has a significantly better fit and finish despite being a model year older. According to the specs a 6 pro beats a 7 regular in almost every area. Amazon incentivizing using this service with extending the return window and even including the return receipt makes using this renewal service an excellent option. My phone looked brand new, I did see in the reviews that some people had some blemishes on the body. I am always going to put a case on it, I would have been ok with some minor blemishes , if everything works and the lens and screen are perfect, but everyone is different. I will update if anything changes.

Bluetooth Disconnecting Issues

The seller was great. The phone had issues from the start. Notably software. Thinking it's 2023 and the bugs should have been resolved, and are not. The phone randomly disconnects from my Landrover. The sound response seems delayed. Missed text messages due to no notifications randomly. Call quality wasn't the greatest. Couldn't see the screen on a sunny day. Terrible internet connection in rural areas, whereas my Zfold4 and N20 never had those issues. My intent was to experience pure Android. Coming from Google I expected better AI, connections, display and sound. I had to research the bugs and tried various fixes which didn't work. What I found the Android 13 is plagued with bugs. I purchased the Pixel watch as well and it also has several issues. After using both ... MoreThe seller was great. The phone had issues from the start. Notably software.

I'll wait for the next update and hopefully, the bugs will be resolved.

Defective Product Misleadingly Sold as Fully Func'

I purchased a Restored Google Pixel 6 Pro 128GB Unlocked (Refurbished), **sold and shipped by Cellfeee**.One of the speakers was non-functional, which I only discovered after I had bothered to fully convert my usage (*e.g.:* transferring files, downloading app's, arranging displays, modifying settings, *etc'*) from my previous phone to this used ("Pre-owned" / "Refurbished" / "Restored") one that I purchased only a week prior. Aside from that hassle, that I have to arrange for shipping the defective used phone back in order to receive a refund is also frustrating. Additionally, I now have to be concerned that some item(s) or information that I (intentionally or unwittingly) placed on the phone (and could not remove by deleting obvious items or "wiping" the phone) ... MoreI purchased a Restored Google Pixel 6 Pro 128GB Unlocked (Refurbished), **sold and shipped by Cellfeee**.One of the speakers was non-functional, which I only discovered after I had bothered to fully convert my usage (*e.g.:* transferring files, downloading app's, arranging displays, modifying settings, *etc'*) from my previous phone to this used ("Pre-owned" / "Refurbished" / "Restored") one that I purchased only a week prior.

Finally, I have lost time %26 productivity (both personally %26 professionally) dealing w' this scam.All of this SEVERELY decreases my confidence in purchasing anything (especially used items from independent sellers) from walmart.com.Sellers of refurbished products that claim to be fully functional yet are not should be penalized in some way that compensates the scammed consumer for their troubles.

Fastest phone for it price

The fastest possible work and smooth animations. Fantastic shots and night photography. The battery capacity is enough for a day of active use. I liked the waterfall display for its color rendition; there are occasional clicks, but not often. After 120 Hz it hurts to look at 60 in other phones. The main disadvantage is the lack of a second slot for a physical SIM card. The phone initially had small, shallow scratches on the screen, but everything was in accordance with the stated condition. The box and branded wire were missing upon receipt, but for this price it is acceptable. I highly recommend purchasing the Pixel line.

[Rewarded Review] Very Surprised by the quality! Would Recommend!

I was very surprised with the quality of the phone! I'm not usually a big fan of getting used/refurbished phones since I have had issues in the past with them through other companies. The phone came in a well packaged box, not the original phone box which was fine, it also came with a usb-c cable which was nice and unexpected. Very minor scratches if any, the battery felt brand new, no lagging whatsoever and no dead pixels on the screen. Over-all I would highly recommend people to look into Best Buy's refurbished phones! Especially if you are just wanting to replace your old Pixel 6 Pro cause it's screen was broken because you accidently sat on it with a chair...
