    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.

    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!

    I’ve been using the Pixel 6a for about a month now, and overall I kinda like it. The main thing I use it for is taking photos, and in that area, it really delivers. The camera quality is great for a phone in this price range — especially in daylight and even in low light thanks to Night Sight. It runs pretty smooth most of the time, and I appreciate the clean Android interface without extra bloat. Battery life is decent, enough to get me through a full day with regular use. Not everything is perfect though — it gets a bit warm sometimes, and I wish the screen refresh rate was higher (it’s 60Hz). But for the price, it’s a solid mid-range phone with a great camera.

    Picked this up for a steal mate and it looks brand new. Runs smooth as butter and the camera has me taking pictures of my dinner like I’m some kind of influencer. Battery lasts all day even when I’m on YouTube half the time. Unlocked so I can chuck in any SIM I fancy. Proper happy with this one mate.

    Perfect gift for our teen. Paying for a cell phone shouldnt cost a mortgage payment but you also want quality. Highly recommend geek squad refurbished. Not the first time we have purchased refurbished items from BB. They do not disappoint. Battery lasts for a while before dying. Camera takes decent pictures.

    I always used iPhone but for some specific reason I had to buy an android, and I am happy with this buy. Slick design and hand to use. my use case is limited, and I can say for normal usage (calls, texts, browsing and social media) this is good buy

    Great phone at the price. It's smaller than the 6 but works very well. Has all over googles features you would want. Only gripe is the phone gets hot and the battery could be better but is an issue with Google pixel phones and I have a fast charger so it charges very quickly. I also dropped it at the last yesterday and picked it up quickly it still works. It detected it has water in it and I put it in rice and it works the same

    Excellent phone. There are only a couple of features I don't like. One is that it is hard to close apps. The bar to swipe to close an app is at the very bottom of the screen and the Google search bar immediately above it. When trying to close an app I sometimes accidently open the that.
