Refurbished Google Pixel 3a

Looking to buy a cheap Pixel 3a for sale?

If you’re on the lookout for a used or refurbished Google Pixel for sale but aren’t a fan of the prices of some of the newer models, or just want a cheap Pixel phone because of the price decreases that Pixel phones are known for shortly after their release, consider buying a refurbished Pixel 3a.

Is the used & refurbished Pixel 3a a good phone?

To help you decide if you should buy a used & refurbished Pixel 3a, let's look at some of the main strengths of this phone.

Is the used & refurbished Pixel 3a durable phone?

The used Pixel 3a is constructed from plastic rather than glass, making the device far more durable than many competitor devices. In addition to being more durable, it’s also easier to grip with a matte-finished bottom two thirds.

The used & refurbished Pixel 3a is on sale, and always has been on sale

Even before being a refurbished device, the Google Pixel 3a was designed to be one of the most affordable smartphones. Sure, it may not have a top-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and may feel cheaper than its more expensive sibling -- the Pixel 3 -- but this is still a great phone. But yes, if you are looking to buy a used & refurbished Pixel, make sure to also look at how much the Pixel 3 is currently going for on our website. Because of price cuts, the refurbished Pixel 3 and 3a are now very similarly priced, and we’d rather buy a refurbished Pixel 3 over a 3a because of the more powerful internals and more premium build quality. But don’t forget that the 3a has a headphone jack, while the 3 is missing this feature.

How is the camera quality of the refurbished Pixel 3a?

In terms of camera quality, you can expect the used & refurbished Pixel 3a to have similar camera performance as the Pixel 3, despite being a budget version of that phone. The refurbished Pixel series of devices is especially good at nighttime photography, thanks to the computational photography tricks that Google has loaded up in their cameras.
