The company promises the same one-year warranty and customer support that comes with new Pixels, ensuring buyers get peace of mind along with their refurbished purchase. The refurbished Pixel program is also part of Google’s sustainability efforts. All packaging is 100% plastic-free, aligning with the eco-friendly approach the company follows across its hardware products.

Additional perks

Buying directly from the Google Store comes with some perks, including free shipping, returns, and the option to finance the purchase at 0% APR for up to 36 months. Google will also continue to push feature updates to these devices through Pixel Drops, ensuring they stay relevant over time.

A great option for Pixel fans

With these refurbished devices, Google is offering a chance to own a high-quality phone without breaking the bank. If the model you’re after isn’t currently available, Google suggests checking back frequently, as the stock will be updated regularly.
