Hey guys, I’m looking into buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5 (I have couple of options between amazon and other stores), however I’m not entirely sure about the longevity of a refurbished phone.

Positive reviews are often left by people who just bought the phone, but most of the negative reviews I found were from people who used it for more than couple of months and it concerns me.

Price is good, I’m looking specifically into a Pixel 5 because of the size which is much smaller than my Galaxy Note 9 that I find really uncomfortable to use.

Thank you!

    Me too, always from the manufacturer or someone reputable like Backmarket. If you buy the higher priced ones, they’ve likely come from someone who buy a new phone every year; they’re barely used and a third of the price

      Was looking into buying Pixel from Backmarket as well! How was your experience with them and their phones?

        I’ve had four now over five years with no probs. But like I said, buy the top end ones

          Has anyone tried Swappa? Any luck there?
