Google Pixel 8 Pro, 128GB Fully Unlocked Black (Renewed)

Phone was in great condition and worked as if new. Recently, the glass over one of the camera lenses shattered while it was just sitting on my table. I looked it up and this is a known issue. I contacted Google who refused to do anything to help because they said it was physical damage.I then contacted Amazon who sent a message to the seller.Stellar customer service!Seller responded very quickly and asked for a picture, which I sent. They then emailed me a return label. As soon as they received my phone they sent me out another one which I received a couple days later. They even made sure I was okay with getting a different color.I definitely recommend buying from this seller.

Perfect. No other way to describe it. I searched the phone thoroughly, looking for signs of wear.Screen: after two days I finally found a micro scratch in the lower right corner of the screen. The only way I found it was when affixing a screen protector, cleaning the screen I noticed it at a certain angle when the phone was off. Affixed the screen and the micro scratch is completely invisible regardless if the phone is on or off. To me that's as good as flawless. There were no scratches or dents on the rear facing camera, which surprised me given how far this protrudes on the Pixel 8 ProBody: No dents, scratches, cracks, or damage of any kind. No objects obstructing or damage to any of the ports including microphone, USB-C, speakers. Buttons worked flawlesslyInternal components: Screen free of any dead pixels, spots, etc. If there's any kind of screen bleed I haven't noticed it. I ran a battery gauge app for five days. Separately I used Android's system apps to measure the battery life. Everything stated the battery was in great condition. This was just as important to me as the screen; I plan to use this phone for the next three years at least so having a healthy battery was critical. On my phone and my tablets I always turn on Charge Optimization - battery charge limit set to 80% to prolong the life of the battery as much as possible. I'm not on my phone all day, my total screen time for any given day never exceeds 4 hours (usually less) but I have yet to use more than 40% of the battery per day.Phone arrived partially set up, the welcome screen for Android setup had been bypassed by someone and the phone was on the home screen. Of course I had no idea who partially set it up so for safety's sake I did a full factory reset. Always factory reset your devices when you get them if they haven't been reset already.Overall I'm extremely impressed. I loved my Pixel 5a and managed to get three years of use before a manufacturer's defect finally killed it. I also shudder at paying $1000 or more for a phone, obviously okay with buying last year's model after all of the updates/glitches have been worked out and the next shiny new thing has been released to drive down the price of the older model. Getting a one year old Pixel flagship phone for a fraction of the cost when new, this is absolutely worth it.Disclaimer: there were a number of things I didn't test nor will I do so. I don't play games on my phone, can't test the battery drain or the excess heat generated. This review covers how I use my phones. As long as I can use it to text, access the web, run my various apps, watch some media, video conference, and even upon rare occasion make phone calls (weird I know) I'm content.

Avoid this seller. Extremely disappointed. I will buy it elsewhere next time. I was really disappointed with the quality. Tons of scratches all over the screen and a long scratch right across the camera glass with many smaller scratches that effect the photos in the right light. The previous owner or owners must have kept it in a bag with rocks and keys. This should have been sold as lower quality and not sold as it was. The battery life is unfortunately much worse than stated and hardly lasts an 8 hour day with minimal use and battery saver isn't much use. The OS is fine and seems to run as normal. Unfortunately it's really difficult to see past all the nicks in the screen, even after adding a tempered glass protector. Sadly I'm unable to return it because it was an emergency replacement for a stolen phone. So I'll have to live with it, but for anyone else considering purchasing a "renewed" phone from the seller, be ready to return it. Updated* After a month of use it's absolutely not of the condition they claimed. Battery lasts 4 to 5 hours at best each day. Camera loads poorly and apps seem slow, even Google play store doesn't load properly. Something inside the phone is rattling and it's not a camera alignment magnets. Camera on or off or zoomed or in video with and without stabilizer, the phone sounds like something is broken inside and rattles. This was advertised as "excellent" and is poor at best.

This phone is Head and shoulders above my old Samsung Galaxy Note 20. It has features that I have yet to figure out. It's more of a phone than I need but man am I happy with it. Seriously considering buying one for the teenager and wife.
