    The refurbished phone works perfectly. The whole process of swapping phones was seamless. And I got the trade in price I expected. An excellent service and a brilliantly effective and good value way of replacing a phone while supporting recycling.

    Google pixel 5. Mmmm bit smaller than I was expecting. (Stop it!) But size aside. It's a lovely little thing. Why be a slave to the big companies? Used and refurbished is the best way to go. Brilliant work back market Thank you!

    Really Happy with my first Back Market Order. My expectations were very low, but I was surprised to get a mobile with very minimal wear and scratches. The phone looks like its only been used for a few weeks and works perfectly (which is amazing for a 'fair' grade phone). Big Shoutout to the refurbisher "Tech Check Ltd". Really happy with my purchase and highly recommend Back Market.

    No real problems - only mark on this was mid screen but that nearly disappeared with a screen protector. Typical Google you do get a flood of Google must have's that spring up when your trying to do bits quickly. Slowly killing them off. Phone is fast and fun.

    Bought this phone for my dad as his previous phone was giving trouble. Was initially a bit skeptical buying a refurbished phone but the reviews were great so took the plunge. I must say, the phone has been brilliant! Performing so well, not able to find any physical defect on it. Battery is also great. I’m glad I made this ourchase

    Over all the phone is decent. The battery life is a little disappointing, it usually lasts a little under a day which I'm surprised by considering it was meant to be the highest quality of refurbishment. Aside from that the phone is performing very well, camera is great and I've had no major issues at all.

    Very happy with the phone - it was supposed to be 'good', but I would describe it as 'excellent'. Only a very little wear around the camera showed it wasn't brand new. The one issue was that I assumed a refurbished phone would have been cleaned before being sold. The speaker slots were chock-full of a red-brown dust/dirt, as were the crevices around the camera and the depression on the back. I managed to clean it with a pin, toothbrush and blutack, but this should surely not have been left to me.

    Really pleased with quality of refurbished phone. Better than advertised. The camera is excellent and exactly what I wanted. Only 1 slight issue, I would have preferred better packaging when it was delivered. Phone arrived safely but disconcerting only had 1 layer of bubble wrap.

    Very pleased with BackMarket. I bought a Pixel5 in the "Excellent condition" category. It arrived promptly and looked as if it was brand new. The main reason I was replacing my old phone was to get one with a battery in better condition. Despite the phone being a refurbished one rather than brand new, I cannot fault the battery on it at all and am pleased to still generally have around half the battery left by the end of the day. Will definitely be considering BackMarket for future phone purchases (and pleased to see they also do other devices too).

    The phone arrived earlier than expected and well packaged. The quality of the phone is excellent, just the absolute slightest of wear showing around the edge of the camera - but that's nitpicking. I won't buy a brand new phone again when you can get a refurbished phone that is this good. I would definitely use BackMarket again, and I've already started recommending it to friends.

Benefits of buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5


At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Google Pixel 5 models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Google Pixel 5 compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned Google Pixel 5 is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Google Pixel 5 is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Google Pixel 5s out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

Where to find a cheap refurbished Google Pixel 5?


If you're looking for cheaper Google Pixel 5 options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored Google Pixel 5 models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed Google Pixel 5 in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop Google Pixel 5 deals on our platform. 

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5?


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Google Pixel 5 may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your Google Pixel 5 and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your Google Pixel 5 is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement. 

 

Google Pixel 5 warranty and return policy with Back Market


All Google Pixel 5 purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best Google Pixel 5 for your needs at lower prices.

 

Google Pixel 5 spec sheet: from screen to processor

 

Once you hold the Google Pixel 5 in your hand, you can immediately feel the lightness of this smartphone, which weighs only 151 grams. The body is made of recycled aluminum, with a bioresin plastic cover. The all-in-one metal body, together with the choice of a thin bezel, made it possible to reduce the thickness to no more than 8 mm. If the rough finish ensures a firm grip, the aluminum prevents the body from getting filled with fingerprints.

As for the screen, it is a 6-inch OLED screen offering a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. To unlock the device, you can use the classic fingerprint reader, which is fast and accurate. You won't have to worry about dust, since the Google Pixel 5 is IP68 rated. On the hardware front, Google took inspiration from the Google Pixel 4A by offering an octa-core Snapdragon 765G with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage. When it comes to connectivity, the smartphone supports Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.1 and 5G. Also, you will get NFC chip and eSIM support.

 

A top-notch camera in the Google Pixel 5

 

If you are used to using your smartphone to take photos, the refurbished Google Pixel 5 will give you great quality shots thanks to its 12.2 MP optically stabilized camera and its 16 MP wide-angle sensor. The definition is excellent, as is the colour balance. We don't complain about lighting management either, as evidenced by the vividness of the images. No less satisfying are night mode, which can be activated automatically, and portrait mode. Your video footage will also be of high quality, with a maximum resolution of 4K. A special menu allows you to choose from several levels of stabilisation. An 8MP front camera is also available for your selfies.

 

Google Pixel 5 price: best price only on Back Market

 

The respectable performance of the Google Pixel 5 benefits from the presence of the extremely fast Android 11. If you are looking for a smartphone with long battery life, the Google Pixel 5 comes with a 4,080 mAh battery, which is much better than the 2,800 mAh battery found in the Google Pixel 4 . Charging is quick and easy as the smartphone supports 18W charging, wireless charging, and reverse charging.

Back Market exists for the purpose of enabling people on a tight budget to purchase the latest tech items at low prices. In addition, by opting for reconditioned products, you avoid wasting raw materials and you prevent the production of toxic waste.
