Google Pixel 7 Pro 5G, US Version, 256GB, Hazel - GSM Carriers (Renewed)

Pretty ironic that only a Google phone can be totally deGoogled. Ha. My Pixel 7 Pro arrived fast, in excellent condition and completely unlocked. I was able to install GrapheneOS without a hitch and it works great. I've been wanting one of these for a while. Now, I'm almost totally degoogled. If you're getting one of these to run GraphenOS, do it. It feels so freeing and you can do everything and more that you could on any other normie phone. Graphene comes with the option to run Google Play sandboxed, so you can still run pretty much any app and get push notifications without needing a Google account or giving it hardly any permissions. I get nearly everything I need on F-Droid though. The camera really is awesome. The camera app that comes with GrapheneOS works great, but the only Google app I use is their Pixel camera app that I downloaded through Aurora store because it has some really neat timelapse and night features that can take full advantage of the camera. It took a few tries reconnecting on Aurora to allow me to load it, but eventually it connected through a Russian server and works perfect. It's all in English and the same version, it just installed through a different server since apparently they do some type of check and only allow the camera app to be downloaded on Pixel phones. Be sure to update the phone several times before installing GrapheneOS. It had Android 13 when I received it, but after running all the updates, its up to version 15 now. Battery life has been excellent, so far. I think a large part of that is just because it doesn't have Google constantly running stuff in the background. This is the best phone and OS I've ever had. It does suck that there's no SD card slot or headphone jack, but with how cheap storage is and how simple it is to transfer stuff, its not really a big deal. The 5x optical zoom camera makes up for it. The only complaint I have is it showed a charging brick in the description photos and when I asked if it was included, the automatic AI thing told me it was. I did not receive a charging brick, any accessories or literature, only a cheap 2.0 USB-A to USB-C cable not good for transferring data. (Pic is the city of Destin taken from the beach 20 miles away using 5x zoom and long night time exposure).

The phone was in excellent condition. The battery is strong and adequate. Camera is great. The phone was unlocked. I would do business with them again.

0/10 would not recommend. Received the phone in decent condition, it had a few scratches on the screen, and marks on the camera housing, but was overall reasonable considering i selected "Excellent." My first issue was the battery life, it was about 4 hours of screen time at medium brightness, and less on high brightness. it would drain itself really fast when not on, and even without a bunch of background apps. The charging port was loose from the start, and recently even new cables won't stay in, and it doesn't work for data transfer. It frequently overheats and shuts down, and can even shut down when it's too cold. This should never happen from normal use. Just recently, the phone developed a black splotch and some lines on the bottom of the screen, and was getting false inputs. The phone is in a strong case, and has a screen protector, it isn't damaged or cracked anywhere, but this happened. The splotch of black has grown, and now the screen is unusable. Customer service won't do anything about it, and it costs more to repair than replace. I wouldn't buy again and wouldn't recommend you do either! I have never had a phone this bad, even my $100 motorola has been better

I like the color, design, and function of the phone. And I couldn't find a flaw other than the crooked screen protector it arrived with. However, I expected a more customizable phone, but apparently it is made to be a pure native Google phone so all the features work seamlessly together. If that's what you want, this phone would be perfect for you. It's fast, it's handsome, it does update earlier than my other phone, and I love the color. Hazel. The battery seems to last a little more than 24 hours. Sadly, the home page is driving me crazy. I can neither remove nor change the tiny, tiny, phone wide time (without temperature or weather) at the top, nor the phone wide Google search engine at the bottom. Useless (to me) space is taking up valuable real estate. I don't use Google search. I was finally able to use my preferred SMS, but it resisted like it was defending a castle that I was laying siege to. The native version doesn't phave signature, scheduled send, scheduled reminder, or blind copy I cannot in good conscience downrate the phone because it is a fine phone, but be aware of its limits. Unless it manages to convert me, this will sadly be my last Pixel.

I got this device as a training device for my job, because my skills at diagnosing and tutoring for android devices have been lacking. This device was advertised as carrier unlocked. What I received is not. The system is not allowing me to check for further details due to how it was programmed by Google. I do not want to get a more in depth check because that is not my intended use case, but it is indicated by the fact that the device will not allow me to OEM unlock it within the developer settings. For my purposes, it is far more than sufficient and passable as the operating system proper is in full working order, and the device is cosmetically unblemished. I should also note that I am not the only one who has received a carrier locked device, I’ve noticed a couple other reviewers have as well. Moving on to a much more positive note, the device’s hardware is excellent. The display is excellent and gets considerably bright, the battery life is excellent even without the adaptive battery life feature fully operational, and it is a superb value for the cost to boot. The cameras are very good, and this is coming from a hobbyist photographer who uses a DSLR and iPhone 12 Pro. The singular flaw that I have noticed is the carrier lock. Other than that, it is an incredible device, especially for the price point. But that flaw is typically a dealbreaker whose potentiality should be known about, it just did not particularly matter in my case. Edit (Jan. 5, 2025): Found that the device I received seems to be carrier locked to Verizon. Verizon-made apps were buried within the hidden system apps, and strangely aren’t active or visible unless I go out of my way to look for them. Thought I’d add this in case it helps anyone.

Five Stars I have a Pixel at last! Pixel 7 Pro, 5G, US Version, 256GB, Obsidian - Unlocked (Renewed). Since I think I will be able to switch it to open source when Google stops my updates October 2027, this might be one of my best purchases ever. Anyone who doesn’t want to switch over then should spend another hundred dollars for an 8 Pro to get two extra years of updates. Mine was from The Phone Guys, and it was mint! - scratch-free. 7 is too old for built-in battery health in settings, so I downloaded AccuBattery, paid $3.99 to make it pro, and left it running. Right off the bat it estimated the capacity at 5,000 mAh, which is 100%. The accuracy of that estimate increases over time. The app help pages said to charge up from below 15% to 100% to calibrate, so I had some running down to do, because it arrived 92% charged. The AccuBattery report after charging from 14% to 100% was good enough (92% of capacity, and they say wait 5 cycles for a more accurate take) to make me think I got a good battery. If the phone, especially the battery, doesn’t hold up, I will amend this review. If it holds up, and the conversion to open source October 2027 turns out OK, I’ll be in the market for a battery replacement instead of a new phone in three or four or … years.

Perfect condition. Perfect price. Perfect phone. Better than Samsung and Apple!

I seen some rough reviews and was a little reluctant to order this phone. After pulling the trigger, I received the phone in EXCELLENT condition. Only issue I had was ESim not working. I ordered a physical SIM card through visible and it worked like a charm. Phone has no scratches, dings, or any cosmetic issues. Works like a beauty.
