Google Pixel 7 5G, US Version, 128GB, Obsidian - Unlocked (Renewed)

I originally picked up the Pixel 7 for one simple reason: I needed a phone with reliable Tap to Pay. That was the entire motivation behind the purchase. I wasn’t chasing specs or hype — just a device that would let me move through my day without pulling out a wallet. But the moment I set it up, it became clear this phone was going to give me far more than the one feature I came for. Tap to Pay worked instantly and flawlessly, which already checked my main box. But then the Pixel 7 started revealing features I didn’t even know I needed. The interface felt clean and intuitive. Face Unlock and the fingerprint sensor worked without hesitation. Even small touches — like call screening, smart photo tools, and the smoothness of everyday navigation — made the phone feel thoughtfully designed for real life. Day by day, it kept surprising me. Not with flashy gimmicks, but with practical features that quietly made everything easier such as the copilot chat feature. By the end of the week, I realized this wasn’t just a phone that met my expectations — it pushed past them. I bought it for Tap to Pay, but the features I didn’t know I needed took my satisfaction to another level.

The phone I received is basically a brand new phone. Absolutely no scratch or blemish on the body of the phone or the screen. The battery life is phenomenal. Everything works fine, and I had no problems activating the phone on my cell service. It was definitely unlocked, unlike what other reviews mentioned. Overall, the quality of the phone is insanely good for the price I paid, and it was packaged very well. I would order from this seller again.

The refurbished and unlocked phone arrived in a timely manner. The phone came in excellent physical condition with no visible scuffs or scratches. The phone, when activated, immediately got stuck at the Google screen in a boot-loop. This is a software error I can only assume came about while the seller was unlocking the phone. After much hassle, and a steep learning curve, I was able to flash a new OTA image of the software to the phone and now it works perfectly. Be warned; if you encounter the same problem and attempt the same fix without doing it correctly you WILL turn the phone into a useless paperweight. 2 stars deducted for the hassle. Edit: After writing the previous portion I discovered that the phone is OEM locked, and that the IMEI (the phone's unique identifier) has been blacklisted by the carrier. This information is shared across carriers and no one will put the phone on thier network as a result. The phone is therefore USELESS.

I have purchased several phones from Amazon before this, each allegedly unlocked. But what are we asking when we ask that question? If a phone is stolen, it can be locked from being reactivated. A phone can be locked because the person you purchased it from didn't share their passcode to "unlock" the phone to make calls. Then there is Carrier Unlocked, which usually means it can be used with any provider's (like AT&T, Verizon, TMobile, etc.) system. There may be other things that unlocked may refer to that I am frankly ignorant about. Any time I've purchased a phone that was supposed to be unlocked, and it would not activate, the seller always insisted it was unlocked. Finally, with this Pixel 7, I seem to have a phone which is carrier unlocked, as well as not having a user lock. No warnings about using a specific network's SIM card were presented on activation. In fact, the phone appeared completely new other than generic packaging. It functions well, clean,no scratches anywhere on the exterior, initial setup was as if it was an unused phone. The screen has no "burn in" patterns and is bright and responds quickly to touch. Battery appears to be like new as well. I purchased this phone after using iPhones for about 8 years. I tired of Apple's insisting I buy more cloud space without an effective way to remove my photos (and KEEP them), the only choices being to delete them or subscribe for more cloud space. Apple doesn't have to do it that way, but they want you to buy cloud space. A dollar a month doesn't seem like much, but multiply that by 230million users! The cloud is probably the most environmentally damaging way to hang onto old digital photos ever invented. Also, if at some point the cloud loses your photos, you have little recourse. That is also the case if they change the rules about access to YOUR DATA. Research it. I you think you want a new phone, a good place to start your research is gsmarena. I like the Pixel series because there are custom ROMS, operating systems, that can be loaded in place of Android. Remember how I said I switched from Apple to Android? Well my previous Android phone wasn't to my liking, which is why I switched to iPhones to start with...and because MS messed up the WONDERFUL Windows Phone 8.1, I felt there were no other choices. I digress...in case I don't like the latest offering from Android I wanted options, like LineageOS and GrapheneOS. So far I am experimenting with the stock Android until I know it isn't merely learning curve that frustrates me.By the way, Google has their own dirty cloud, as does MS. I avoid them all. My final word of advice is to be prepared to return the phone, any phone. You might have just a bad example, or maybe it wasn't properly listed, or renewed, or unlocked. Mistakes happen. Or maybe the phone just isn't right for you. I didn't need to contact this seller for anything, I am happy with the purchase ! The seller was "thegadgetdeals".

If you're here for a cheap device to play with GrapheneOS or other custom ROMs, prepare to be disappointed. Carrier unlocked only means you can plug in any SIM because the device was already paid off. Custom ROMs need OEM unlock. This happened at the factory. If the device wasn't born unlocked, it can never be unlocked. The only way to tell is to try it or look up the IMEI. Since most consumers don't care, sellers don't check. Verizon, AT&T, Google "unlocked" phones all go in the same bin. That's why you see a total lottery in other reviews. I guess the only way to be sure is to get a new phone from Google store. But the phone itself is in pretty much mint condition even though I picked the cheapest option. Great deal for those who aren't engineers looking for a test device.

I was unsure how I would feel about buying a refurbished phone but this seller did not disappoint. There were no scratches on the phone. It seems to take a little longer to charge. I haven't really felt it overheating as other reviewers have said. I'm not sure how the battery life is. I turned it on this morning at 71% and right now out is at 39%. I've been using it for about two hours. All said, I love the phone.

Came in very good shape. No scratches or signs of wear. Battery lasts a long time. No performance issues for me. I've had it for quite a long time now.

I've had this phone for almost a month now and I love it! It came in a new box and was well packaged and came with charger, box and the Sim card key. Really impressed, would recommend to anyone looking for a great phone with many nice features!

Was delivered as advertised, "reconditioned excellent". Phone was truely unlocked for both carrier and OEM. No visible flaws. Did require updating the system and security patches. Included phone only; no charger, documents or other. Would certainly purchase again from this seller.

It's good at best The condition is labeled as 'excellent' but that's false. There's small scratches around the frame. Also, the charger is generic that it doesn't work. Some compensation will be appreciated 🤞

El producto llegó en su caja original, con cables y manuales originales, hasta ahí sinproblema. Al sacar al producto estaba muy sucio, al limpiarlo se veían unos pequeños arañones nada del otro mundo, tanto en el cristal de la pantalla como en el cristal posterior sin comprometer la visibilidad, al examinarlo más detalladamente, el marco del dispositivo ESTABA DOBLADO de modo que la pantalla sobresale muy poco, con un golpe mínimo se va a quebrar o salir la pantalla. Inmediatamente lo regresé a la caja y solicite reembolso. Quedé muy decepcionado con el servicio en el sentido de que ese equipo al supuestamente haber pasado por las manos del equipo técnico que supuestamente supervisaron el refurbished no lo inspeccionaron o hicieron absolutamente nada al respecto, por lo menos esperaba que viniera limpio, y el hecho de vender un producto con un fallo en la integridad del chasis se debería de vender a un precio muchísimo menor que 11mil.
