    The refurbished phone works perfectly. The whole process of swapping phones was seamless. And I got the trade in price I expected. An excellent service and a brilliantly effective and good value way of replacing a phone while supporting recycling.

    Really Happy with my first Back Market Order. My expectations were very low, but I was surprised to get a mobile with very minimal wear and scratches. The phone looks like its only been used for a few weeks and works perfectly (which is amazing for a 'fair' grade phone). Big Shoutout to the refurbisher "Tech Check Ltd". Really happy with my purchase and highly recommend Back Market.

    No real problems - only mark on this was mid screen but that nearly disappeared with a screen protector. Typical Google you do get a flood of Google must have's that spring up when your trying to do bits quickly. Slowly killing them off. Phone is fast and fun.

    I have brought from Back Market before. As I was really happy with my previous purchases I brought another item. I overall I'm really with my purchase. The phone was in great condition. However the protective packaging could of been better.

    Works perfectly. Actually in better condition than i was expecting. The phone I bought was advertised as in fair condition but I think it was more good or excellent condition. Very happy with the purchase. It didn't come with the original charger etc but otherwise it was fine.

    I bought the excellent version where it states that the screen will be in perfect condition, but the phone I received had a lot of micro scratches on the screen. Although it won't affect daily usage. But since it was mentioned that the screen will be in perfect condition I can't help but feel a bit off. Hence no 5 star. The body is in perfect condition though. Screen condition should be mentioned properly. Also when I checked today the price was reduced by £20.

    Really pleased. Phone arrived well packaged and is spotless. Although the camera shutter makes a noise which can't be switched off, I read about this in other reviews and it doesn't bother me at all. I'm really pleased with how quickly the phone arrived and the great condition it was in. Thanks Back Market!

    Great phone, as described and for a fraction of the price from new. As usual Backmarket provides great service, clear updates on when it will arrive. This is my third phone that I've bought through Backmarket over the years and I'd recommend them to anyone.

    I was delivered a new refurbished phone but the battery drains extremely quickly within 6hrs after being fully charged to 100% it is at critical level. I have had the phone 2 days! it has been the same both days, and the phone has barely been used only on standby and myself adding some apps and odd checking of mails and odd 5-10 min call etc.

    Fast delivery. Phone arrived quickly, in brand new condition. Can't fault it in any way. Not much more I can say. Didn't arrive with accecories, but I didn't request any. The only reason I'm mentioning this is they asked me to review accessories and I gave it 1 star.....cos I didn't want any accessories. Well worth it and better than paying a contract for 2 years.

Benefits of buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5


At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Google Pixel 5 models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Google Pixel 5 compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned Google Pixel 5 is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Google Pixel 5 is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Google Pixel 5s out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

Where to find a cheap refurbished Google Pixel 5?


If you're looking for cheaper Google Pixel 5 options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored Google Pixel 5 models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed Google Pixel 5 in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop Google Pixel 5 deals on our platform. 

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5?


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Google Pixel 5 may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your Google Pixel 5 and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your Google Pixel 5 is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement. 

 

Google Pixel 5 warranty and return policy with Back Market


All Google Pixel 5 purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best Google Pixel 5 for your needs at lower prices.

 

Google Pixel 5 spec sheet: from screen to processor

 

Once you hold the Google Pixel 5 in your hand, you can immediately feel the lightness of this smartphone, which weighs only 151 grams. The body is made of recycled aluminum, with a bioresin plastic cover. The all-in-one metal body, together with the choice of a thin bezel, made it possible to reduce the thickness to no more than 8 mm. If the rough finish ensures a firm grip, the aluminum prevents the body from getting filled with fingerprints.

As for the screen, it is a 6-inch OLED screen offering a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. To unlock the device, you can use the classic fingerprint reader, which is fast and accurate. You won't have to worry about dust, since the Google Pixel 5 is IP68 rated. On the hardware front, Google took inspiration from the Google Pixel 4A by offering an octa-core Snapdragon 765G with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage. When it comes to connectivity, the smartphone supports Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.1 and 5G. Also, you will get NFC chip and eSIM support.

 

A top-notch camera in the Google Pixel 5

 

If you are used to using your smartphone to take photos, the refurbished Google Pixel 5 will give you great quality shots thanks to its 12.2 MP optically stabilized camera and its 16 MP wide-angle sensor. The definition is excellent, as is the colour balance. We don't complain about lighting management either, as evidenced by the vividness of the images. No less satisfying are night mode, which can be activated automatically, and portrait mode. Your video footage will also be of high quality, with a maximum resolution of 4K. A special menu allows you to choose from several levels of stabilisation. An 8MP front camera is also available for your selfies.

 

Google Pixel 5 price: best price only on Back Market

 

The respectable performance of the Google Pixel 5 benefits from the presence of the extremely fast Android 11. If you are looking for a smartphone with long battery life, the Google Pixel 5 comes with a 4,080 mAh battery, which is much better than the 2,800 mAh battery found in the Google Pixel 4 . Charging is quick and easy as the smartphone supports 18W charging, wireless charging, and reverse charging.

Back Market exists for the purpose of enabling people on a tight budget to purchase the latest tech items at low prices. In addition, by opting for reconditioned products, you avoid wasting raw materials and you prevent the production of toxic waste.
