Google Launches Certified Refurbished Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 Phones at Steep Discounts

If you’ve been eyeing a Google Pixel but haven’t wanted to pay the premium for the latest Pixel 9 lineup—or even the more recent Pixel 8 series—Google has an enticing new option. You can now get certified refurbished Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 phones at a discount directly from Google’s online store, bringing premium Pixel quality into a more budget-friendly price range without sacrificing Google’s tech-savvy charm.

The starting price for a certified refurbished Pixel 6 now sits at just $339, down from its original $599. Looking for more power and screen real estate? The Pixel 6 Pro has also seen a substantial cut, now available at $539, previously priced at $899. The more compact Pixel 6a offers a serious value for just $249, a steep drop from its initial $449. The Pixel 6 series isn’t alone; Google has also refreshed pricing on the Pixel 7 models, with the base Pixel 7 starting at $429 (originally $599) and the top-tier Pixel 7 Pro coming in at $629 (originally $899).

These prices may not seem shockingly low when compared to deep holiday sales or older-generation markdowns, but there’s a strong upside: these devices are refurbished and certified by Google itself. That means Google has rigorously tested each phone, ensuring it meets their quality standards before offering it to you. Each refurbished Pixel phone also comes with a standard 1-year warranty, the same as you’d receive with a brand-new device, which is unusual in the refurb market and adds peace of mind to the purchase.

For fans of the Pixel’s famously smooth Android experience, there’s another plus: each refurbished device ships with the latest Android software pre-installed, so you’re likely to receive it with Android 15 already loaded. And while the tech inside these models may be a generation or two old, the Pixel 6 and 7 series remain competitive options, offering stellar camera performance, clean Google interface, and regular software updates—hallmarks of the Pixel lineup that fans appreciate.

And Google’s commitment to giving these devices a second life doesn’t end at the screen. Each phone comes in a fresh box with a compatible charger, allowing for a near-new unboxing experience. The only difference? A little less environmental impact and a much lighter hit on your wallet. Whether you’re upgrading from an older phone or just wanting to dip your toes into the Pixel ecosystem without paying full price, these refurbished models could be the right fit.

So if you’ve been holding out for a better deal on a Pixel, Google’s latest offering brings an affordable, eco-friendly option with little compromise on quality—a compelling alternative to pricier new models.
