Reliable, Sleek, with Great Battery Life!
I used to have the original Google Pixel 32 GB. I decided to make the switch a little over a year ago from Apple because to be honest, I was done giving Apple my coins especially because with each new phone, older generations of the iPhone kept slowing down and messing up. I also have most of my files and info on Gmail and Google Drive both for work and personal so the switch was much needed! The Google Pixel was great but it was a little slow and the battery life has diminished significantly within a year of use so I decided to switch to Google Pixel 2.I purchased a refurbished Google Pixel 2, white, with 64 GB. I was seriously SHOCKED when I saw the quality of the phone upon opening the box. I had to do a double take and check to make sure they hadn't charged me full price for a brand new Google Pixel 2 because it looks impeccable. My older phone had little bumps around the edges which is expected for any refurbished phone but behold, this phone has absolutely no dents or scratches. The phone is sleek and easy to hold.Since most of my files are on Google Drive, I was able to switch everything over easily. I easily moved the SIM card from my old phone to the new one effortlessly. I have Cricket Wireless and it was able to connect just fine. I didn't lose any files in the process of switching over which is a major plus because I can remember the countless times I lost files with iPhone.Another bonus that was unexpected was that the phone already came with a glass screen protector! That was a great surprise. Overall the phone so far is working amazingly. It's a smooth design so it just sits well in your hand. I was about to get the Google Pixel 2 XL but since I have small hands I wanted to opt out for the regular size and boy was it worth it.I bought this phone from Tech Wholesale and they were amazing with delivery as well. Since I live in a gated apartment they didn't even leave the phone over the gate, they left a notice letting me know that I could pick it up at a local Walgreens which was super easy. If you're looking to update your phone because you're just tired of it slowing down on you or tired of constantly having to charge your phone, I highly recommend purchasing this one from Tech Wholesale. Google Pixel thus far has not let me down and I plan on being a loyal customer (until proven otherwise haha). This phone is a billion times better than any iPhone and yes that's even counting the newest one because that one is extra as hell and I'm over all their dumb updates haha.

A Great value
This phone is great! Mind you, I am replacing a 2014 Galaxy S4 with a super loose charging port that made it painful to reliably even just recharge my phone without knocking the charging cable loose, so my impressions are mostly based on comparing this phone with my old phone. But the cosmetic condition of the Google Pixel 2 that I received was excellent. The remaining battery life is at about 90% which is not too shabby given that these renewed phones are supposed to have at least 80% of their initial battery capacity remaining. The camera is awesome. I love the portrait mode and the quality of photos and videos is very good in general. I haven't been able to engage the Astrophotography mode of the camera which you are supposed to be able to do with these phones even though they are older Pixel phones. I don't know if I just haven't been in just the right conditions for this mode to activate. I also wasn't able to use Google Pay the first time I tried it yesterday but with the COVID-19 epidemic and didn't want to hang around too long at the cashier of the store I was at fiddling to get this to work. I will be trying it again at some point. The phone included the little adapter to be able to connect regular wired headphones which I appreciated since I don't own any wireless headphones yet. The fingerprint reader is a nice feature. I am finding myself frequently using the Active Edge feature to launch Google Assistant. Some of the other things that I like about the phone aren't so much about the phone itself so much as just being able to use the latest version of Android. On my old phone, I was stuck on Android version 4. The bezels on this phone are kind of ridiculously large, but I knew would be the case when I bought it. Overall, this was a great value. I was debating between buying this phone and the Pixel 3a. My guess is that I would not have been unhappy buying the 3a but I don't regret buying the Pixel 2. By the way, I asked around at mobile repair shops about the cost of replacing the battery of the Pixel 2 and the going rate in the Sacramento, CA area seems to be about $75. With the phones I have owned so far, I was used to just being able to replace the battery myself whenever I felt the need.

Battery Life
I bought this impulsively and was expecting something bad but I'm pleasantly surprised. It came just on time. When I opened it, everything was good. The quality of the phone was good. A little concerned about the quality of packaging, it was just in it's original box and came in a shipping bag(I hope that's what it's called?). I was able to transfer over my Verizon SIM card successfully with no issues. The camera has excellent quality and I love that it has multiple settings. The phone itself is very small, sleek and light. The only problems I have encountered are battery life and camera quality through different apps such as Snapchat and Instagram- (disclaimer: I'm on my phone a lot so I don't expect my battery will last as long as others) The average battery life is about 5 hours and 15 minutes on a 100% charge.. you figure the rest out. As for the camera, it's awesome by itself but if you were to use the camera in another app such as Snapchat, Instagram, etc. The quality drops dramatically and become very blurred and grainy. I've noticed over the time the more I use the phone the quality seems to improve more through those listed apps. Overall, for a $112 purchase, this is definitely worth the investment.

Refurbushed totally worth the money
Very happy with the phone itself. Just updated to the last android version and works and performs with very good quality.Down side is that it doesn't come with the original charger. And the one that was sent doesn't work with the phone so, had to use the one from my old phone, which was a One Plus One. So didn't have to spend extra money buying a new one.

Looks good.
Comes looking fantastic with all the needed parts.Issues to note -- Battery life is terrible, my previous Pixel 2 lasted much longer. this unit needs charged twice a day on average.- Charger/ charging port is very temperamental, Usually twice a week it will vibrate and notify its charging when plugging it in then will have no charge when I return after a period.In conclusion.nice looking phone, terrible battery.

Working well, camera unbeatable
SO i was about to give up after buying refurbished on ebay and both having faults immediately (even a brand new in cellophane - this one though, worked out the box and i know with amazon buyer protection ill get a swift return if its faulty (12 months!)Camera is still better than most, even the lads new £350 phone. Screen a little ont he small side for todays standards but much bigger than a little iphone 4.

It's really a smart phone.I don't like the display. The letters are too small.Overall, it's a very good phone.
