Verified purchaseHaving checked to see if this website was a scamming website or not (it is not btw), i was eager to crack on and find myself a new (well refurbished) phone. I was screwed over by the battery issue with the Pixel 4a in late Jan, early Feb of 2025, so needed to get a new phone, well 3 actually as I had previously gotten the 4a for my mother and another for my wife, so all 3 phones are basically no use anymore. I had a scout around the website and found the Pixel 6's were a good fit for what i was looking for. A nice option the site gives, is to choose the quality of the refurb phones at different price points, so this was easy for me to decide on what to go for with the budget i had available. Placed the order and the phones turned up a few days later, all well packaged and as described. I was expecting the quality of the phones to be less than what I received tbh ( I chose excellent quality for all 3 phones) but all 3 turned up in immaculate condition, I found no Knicks, scratches, dents etc and all 3 looked like new handsets (your mileage may vary of course) but my experience with this company has been nothing but fantastic. Cliché i know, but i`ll be sure to get my phones from her...

Verified purchaseI purchased my Google Pixel 6 128GB in October 2023. It has been a brilliant phone to use for over a year. I love my Pixel 6! When I received the item last October it was in great condition and looked almost brand new. My Pixel 6 is on Android 15 now (The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are guaranteed to receive Android version updates until at least October 2024, and security updates until at least October 2026).

Verified purchaseWohooo, I am so glad I went down the road of getting a refurbished device as replacement of my old phone. It was a pleasure using the website and finding my new "old" Pixel 6. The delivery was even faster than anticipated and it arrived on my birthday. Great service and a way forward to reduce landfill. Thank you!

Verified purchaseCame as described within 2 days of purchase, maybe a couple of hairline scratches but as to be expected with refurbished tech, phone worked well out of box and is definitely an upgrade on my previous samsung galaxy s9, from which I'm able to use the sim.

Verified purchaseVery happy with my refurbished Pixel6, its in near new condition - a massive reduction on the current price of a smartphone and combined with a sim only contract leads to a very cost-effective solution. In fact the only advances I can see in new phones is more camera gizmos which I don't value - other functionality is near the same. BackMarket very good to deal with - they appear to be in this for the long term and have set up accordingly

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Google Pixel 6 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 6 compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned Google Pixel 6 is also an environmentally friendly option.

As its name suggests, the Google Pixel 6 is above all a photophone designed to allow you to produce sharp and detailed shots. A competitive advantage which is explained by the advanced expertise of the American brand in software processing and artificial intelligence. For the rest, the 6th iteration of the Pixel range is distinguished by:
Successor to the Google Pixel 5, the Google Pixel 6 is mainly distinguished from its predecessor by the introduction of the in-house Tensor processor, specially developed by Samsung for the Silicon Valley firm. Since Google already owns the Android operating system, this integration of the hardware and software part allows a very good optimization of the device system. Thus, the Google Pixel 6 is 80% more efficient than its predecessor, without compromising on autonomy.
Also, if there is no photo between the Google Pixel 6 and many of its competitors in terms of photography, the Google Pixel 6 Pro version goes even further in this field, with the integration of a large sensor -High definition angle and telephoto optical zoom. The rendering of the images is all the more attractive on the Quad HD + 120 Hz screen of the latter, clocked by 12 GB of RAM (compared to 8 for the basic Pixel 6).
So that you can see it even more clearly in your buying process, here is the summary of the comparisons between the Google Pixel 6 and two of its main competitors: the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the iPhone 13 .
Compared to the first mentioned, all of the attributes of the Google Pixel 6 prove to be substantially equivalent, with a few exceptions. If the screen resolution, the design and the handling are slightly more sophisticated on the side of the Samsung Galaxy S21, the photophone of the American firm stands out with its wide range of functionalities, in particular in terms of confidentiality, customisation and application management tools.
Finally, if Apple excels in terms of smartphone processors, willingly to the detriment of autonomy, this postulate is fully verified by comparing the Google Pixel 6 with the iPhone 13. Despite a powerful CPU, the smart mobile of the American firm hardly manages to compete with the overpowered SoC Bionic A15 of the apple brand. In return, the autonomy of the Pixel 6 is almost twice as high. The common denominator between the two devices is the verticalization of hardware and software elements, an exclusive design in the world of smartphones.
The Google Pixel 6 is only available with 128 GB of non-expandable internal memory.
The Google Pixel 6 is offered in two finishes: black and green.
