Google starts selling refurbished Pixel phones. They’re up to 40 percent off and come with the same warranty as a brand-new handset.

    They’re still way overpriced - especially considering they don’t get the several years of extended support that the later models do. I lucked out and caught Mint Mobile clearing out their Pixel 7 Pro for $99 at the end of last year. The fingerprint reader is a serious PITA, so I’m still using my old phone as my daily driver. The P7P camera is fantastic, so I keep it around for that and as a test bed, but that’s about it.

    I wouldn’t pay more than roughly $300 (maybe $400, tops) at this point - and then only if I didn’t care too much about the fingerprint sensor. With the much shorter support frame, I don’t see how Google thinks it’s worth so much more now.
