Google launches its Certified Refurbished Phone program, with up to 40% off Pixel phones
It’s the first time Google has offered officially refurbished Pixel phones
Google has launched its Certified Refurbished Phone program, offering savings of up to 40% on refurbished Pixel phones.
The program marks the first time Google has offered refurbished Pixel phones directly – according to the official announcement, a Certified Refurbished Pixel phone will go through an inspection of the battery, screen, and housing, as well as an update to the latest Android software, before being approved for sale.
What’s more, Certified Refurbished Pixel phones are re-packaged in a new box and even come with a compatible charger.
The initial lineup of Certified Refurbished phones includes the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a – these are all capable handsets, but there’s no luck yet for those looking for the latest Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro at a discount.
Still, the chance to grab some of the best Pixel phones of yester-year at a discounted price with the same one-year warranty and customer support will be hard to pass up for some.
Google Pixel 6a $249 (was $449)
Google Pixel 6 $339 (was $599)
Google Pixel 6 Pro $539 (was $899)
Google Pixel 7 $429 (was $599)
Google Pixel 7 Pro $629 (was $899)
Google also keenly highlights the sustainability benefits of buying refurbished in the program’s official announcement, noting the company’s goal of reducing e-waste and plastic production – Certified Refurbished Pixel phones will come in plastic-free packaging, the same as all other Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit devices.
