Q: QuestionLooking at pixel 6 I can afford about 250 maby 300(2 answers)
A: AnswerI have a Pixel 6a I bought brand new in July. Loved it so much, I wanted to get one for my wife. Since availability of new ones is so low, I decided to try a refurbished from Best Buy. I knew if I had any issues Best Buy would take care of me. The first refurbished I received was apparently still locked. Best Buy gave me an instant refund in the store. I immediately ordered another. Aside from lacking the original packaging, the phone looked brand new. Pixel 6a is a great phone.Answered by Dale

Very good phone for a very good deal!
This phone came highly reviewed by a couple of my peers, so I knew i should try it. I was drawn in by the quality of camera, sleek design, and sheer memory storage! The camera quality is amazing, only being beaten out by real digital cameras and later iterations of the Google Pixel. Night mode is great to make dark spaces appear as we see them, making it unecessary to fight the correct lighting for your phone. I already see the Google Lens being a unique tool in learning what things are at a glance. The lack of a home button takes a little getting used to, but turns into muscle memory in a couple of days! The battery life is excellent, as it takes a long time to drain, and charges back to full very quickly. As it is refurbished, expects some minor scratches and the like, but know that you saved a lot of $$. The price is great for a phone released in 2022.

Pixel Love
I purchased this as a replacement for my wife's phone. Pixels are wonderful phones, and the 'a' series of their phones offer flagship hardware at mid-tier pricing. These little phones are very beefy, even being two generations behind now, I highly recommend them for someone wanting a decent phone at a decent price. This was a refurb, but it could have passed for brand-new. I assume the refurb was a screen replacement, as so often they happen to be, because there was nary a scuff nor scratch on sight. Google may be the antichrist, but they make a great phone!
