Purchasing my Google Pixel 8a is a big switch after years using an iPhone. I've used BackMarket several times before and have always been super happy and I wasn't disappointed this time either. Delivery was super quick with brilliant auto-updates along the way. The quality of my phone is, well, like brand new. I wont be returning to an iPhone anytime soon and I love the quality and new-ness of my Google Pixel 8a that BackMarket have provided ... THANK YOU!

Arrived & works fine. Only one minor issue, I'm English & the phone arrived set in an Oriental language that I had to scan using my wife's phone with Google translate to work out that it was Japanese & how to set it to English. Thus 4 out of 5 stars. You really should set it to the language of the user or by default to English, which is probably more widely spoken.

Considering I've always had a phone on contract, then when my last one was paid for I wasn't gonna get another one, until my baby grandson dropped it 😬......lots of research later, and I went with you guys, and the pixel 8a......best decision I made, for a nearly 60yr old nana who's really not tech savvy at all. Setting up this one was so easy, I'm so happy with it, and best of all it's recycled and no contract! Would definitely recommend you guys, and will be coming back to you in the future.

Really happy with it. I went with fair condition because of my budget expecting it to be a little rough but can't honestly see anything wrong with it. Works great and holds battery really well almost like its brand new. First time owning a pixel after having an honor 20 which was the best phone I ever had. No regrets switching to google pixel.

AMAZING PHONE!!! I got a black pixel 8A for £299 and it is AWESOME. I got standard shipping and it arrived two days after I ordered it. The package was VERY secure and safe, I chose "good" quality and the phone is absolutely spotless. Thank you back market! I searched up which was the most trustworthy refurbished phone website and this one checked all the marks. Couldn't thank you guys more for this very lovely phone. Definitely recommend anyone to use this website. Thanks :)

The Google Pixel 8a brings together Google’s signature AI-powered features and a compact design. Launched in May 2024, it stands as Google’s mid-range offering, just a generation behind the Pixel 8, but still ticking most boxes for everyday users in 2025. You get a vibrant OLED display, thoughtful camera software, and a smooth Android experience—no fuss, no bloat.

Key features:

Release Date: May 2024
Display: 6.1-inch Actua OLED, FHD+ (2400 x 1080 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Google Tensor G3
Camera: Dual rear system (64MP wide + 13MP ultra-wide), 13MP front camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 14
Build: Recycled aluminium frame, Gorilla Glass 3 front, plastic back

Who is this for?

The Google Pixel 8a is a good fit for fans of straightforward Android devices who want reliable cameras, guaranteed software updates, and solid build quality without all the extra fluff. It’s an ideal pick for students, everyday commuters, and anyone who wants Google’s smart features without jumping to flagship prices. Compared to the Pixel 8, it offers similar AI smarts and camera processing, though with less premium build materials and a single memory option shared across variants.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Scenic OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.	Plastic back feels less premium than glass or metal.
Pixel AI features like Magic Editor and Call Screen.	No telephoto lens for zoomed-in photography.
Timely Android updates and security patches.	Mono speaker set-up can sound a bit flat.

Why refurbished?

Opting for a refurbished Google Pixel 8a means choosing a device that’s been carefully checked and restored without adding to the world’s e-waste piles. Back Market devices pass through stringent quality controls to ensure everything works as it should. Learn more about our quality standards.
