This is a great phone for the price. Beautiful OLED screen, a great camera, and a fast and functional OS. For the model itself, it's everything the typical cell phone user could want in a device. At 6.7 inches, this is one of the biggest Android phones on the market right now outside of a folding phone. If you love screen real estate and don't mind the extra bulk, you will love this phone.
As for Back Market itself, I purchased a "good" condition phone and the phone's shell came with noticeable scratches, but who cares when it will spend it's life in a case? Perhaps the most obvious issue was a small scratch in the screen itself, but I hardly notice it and, at $600 off the sticker price, I can't complain. Battery life is good enough to last all day and a little more.
Another point of consideration with refurbished phones is always the longevity of the device due to its update cycle. The Pixel 8 is when Google began their extended security updates, so as of this writing, the Pixel 8 still has another 5 years of life left. For the environmentally and budget conscious consumer looking to save CO2 and $$$, five years of use on a pre-owned phone is about as good as it gets.
I love this phone and would recommend it, and Back Market, to anyone looking for refurbished tech.
