Verified purchaseAn excellent phone - I've had one for a couple of years, then saw the price of these reconditioned ones on Back Market: bought one for my wife's Christmas present - and then another for my daughter's birthday! Excellent quality photos - everyone comments on the clarity and colour. Excellent zoom and wide focus too.

Verified purchaseI used Back Market to buy someone a MacBook Pro and it looked fabulous, almost new. When I dropped my 9 month old iPhone 15 Plus down a drain, I didn't have the money to spend another £1,000 there and then to buy a new iPhone. Bought this and the camera is better than the 15 Plus by miles, and it's speedier, for £800 less than my iPhone I lost. That might be more of a Pixel thing than it is about refurbished products, but my point is you can have something great for a cheap price. a 3 year downgrade isn't as bad as you think, and you're also helping the planet too I guess. Be smart and buy refurbished.

Verified purchaseI was a bit hesitant about buying a refurbished phone, but I'm so glad I took the plunge with Back Market! My Google Pixel 6 Pro arrived in excellent condition and looks practically new. The performance is flawless, the camera captures stunning photos, and the battery life is impressive. I love the sleek design and the phone feels premium in hand. The best part? I saved a ton of money compared to buying it new. Back Market definitely exceeded my expectations! Would highly recommend!

Verified purchaseVery pleased so far with the Pixel 6 Pro. I had to look for imperfections. The company which prepared the item seems to have done a really good job. The packaging was good, the battery life is much better than I expected. Everything seems to be pretty much spot on. I am very happy with my first purchase on Back Market.

Verified purchaseI'm really happy with my new phone, the condition is as described and it arrived sooner than expected. Battery life is shorter than I expected but, otherwise, it's a fabulous phone! Back Market communication was great, and the ordering process was incredibly simple.

Verified purchaseThe cover for the camera lenses has just fallen off. I pressed it back on but I'm worried that one of the sensors will not be properly aligned. I have invested many hours configuring the apps for this phone so I really want to keep it. however, I'm extremely worried about its durability after this incident.

Verified purchaseGreat experience with Back Market - love the phone! it's fast, has tons of storage and takes superb pictures. There are two negatives which may just be phone-related: Sometimes speaker quality is tinny. Also, people have said the phone was breaking up really badly several times. On the whole though it's a great phone.

Verified purchaseI got my Google Pixel 6 Pro very quickly. The phone looks great and good value for money for the specifications. Can’t say much more that I am happy with the purchase for now (only had for a couple of weeks) and I hope it serves me for long.

Verified purchaseDevice looked great, far better physical condition than I'd expect. However it has a broken SIM tray and was stuck in a boot loop from being forced shutdown during an update. Both were worked around but took additional time and effort. If it hasn't been Christmas Eve I'd have sent the phone back and asked for a refund.

As its name suggests, the Google Pixel 6 is above all a photophone designed to allow you to produce sharp and detailed shots. A competitive advantage which is explained by the advanced expertise of the American brand in software processing and artificial intelligence. For the rest, the 6th iteration of the Pixel range is distinguished by:
Successor to the Google Pixel 5, the Google Pixel 6 is mainly distinguished from its predecessor by the introduction of the in-house Tensor processor, specially developed by Samsung for the Silicon Valley firm. Since Google already owns the Android operating system, this integration of the hardware and software part allows a very good optimization of the device system. Thus, the Google Pixel 6 is 80% more efficient than its predecessor, without compromising on autonomy.
Also, if there is no photo between the Google Pixel 6 and many of its competitors in terms of photography, the Google Pixel 6 Pro version goes even further in this field, with the integration of a large sensor -High definition angle and telephoto optical zoom. The rendering of the images is all the more attractive on the Quad HD + 120 Hz screen of the latter, clocked by 12 GB of RAM (compared to 8 for the basic Pixel 6).
So that you can see it even more clearly in your buying process, here is the summary of the comparisons between the Google Pixel 6 and two of its main competitors: the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the iPhone 13 .
Compared to the first mentioned, all of the attributes of the Google Pixel 6 prove to be substantially equivalent, with a few exceptions. If the screen resolution, the design and the handling are slightly more sophisticated on the side of the Samsung Galaxy S21, the photophone of the American firm stands out with its wide range of functionalities, in particular in terms of confidentiality, customisation and application management tools.
Finally, if Apple excels in terms of smartphone processors, willingly to the detriment of autonomy, this postulate is fully verified by comparing the Google Pixel 6 with the iPhone 13. Despite a powerful CPU, the smart mobile of the American firm hardly manages to compete with the overpowered SoC Bionic A15 of the apple brand. In return, the autonomy of the Pixel 6 is almost twice as high. The common denominator between the two devices is the verticalization of hardware and software elements, an exclusive design in the world of smartphones.
The Google Pixel 6 is only available with 128 GB of non-expandable internal memory.
The Google Pixel 6 is offered in two finishes: black and green.
