Google phone
By Wendy A. P. Yeoman on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024
This phone is a good value for the money. The camera is easy to use and photos are sharp and clear. Google updates are timely and have never negatively affected the phone's function.

Google won't honor warranty
By Kathi Faubert on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025
Phone bricked after 9 months and Google refused to honor the warranty. Even though it should have been within the 2-year extended warranty, they won't honor it because they had already sold it to this reseller. Don't trust Google sellers on Amazon.

Great phone

Worked perfectly fine out of the box and haven't had a single issue with it in the few months I've been using it.
Not a short learning curve

This phone replaced my ancient Samsung galaxy S-6 which served me extremely well until it no longer supported apps and developed suspicious and periodic battery drain problems. Switching to Google operations is a challenge but not unpleasant. The major problems I have are swiping to receive a call, receiving voice mail, and receiving 5G. Most of the time I cannot open the call so I have to call the caller back. Voice mail gives me a message saying "it had a problem" after multiple open attempts, I finally get the voice mail. I do get 5G in some locations but not at home when my wife's phone (Samsung Galaxy Z flip) does get 5G. I do like the camera and many other features.
Don't waste time and money

Phone is not New is refurbished. The phone didn't turn on properly. Turned On only once it said it was low battery and turned off. Left it overnight charging it and in the morning when tried to turn it On... Nothing.
GREAT PHONE WHEN YOU UN-GOOGLE IT
By MarkFL - Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2022

I bought this phone for its processing speed and mainly for its compact size -- I simply don't care for the mega-sized phones. It is the smallest 5G you can get. The problem with the Google phones are, they are totally Google-ized. All the default settings have you shoveling all your data -- virtually everything you do -- up to your Google online account by default. Android users already have an account, but you'll need to log in with a PC and roll through ALL of the online settings and start shutting things off unless you really enjoy sharing everything you do, from passwords to photos, other accounts you may have -- with the biggest trolling site in the world. After that, it took me days to go through the phone and disable or uninstall all the Google bloatware and defaults. The default music player is YT Player (YouTube Player -- YT is a Google company) so it's constantly pitching you YT content online when all you want to do is play YOUR music stored on the phone. The camera app simply sucks. I grabbed a far better free one (ad-free) at the app store. Ditto the calendar. There is a crazy feature called Do Not Disturb (the default setting is "ON") that detects when you're driving and kills the audio from Android Auto! Listen to a podcast? Oh, no you don't! Do Not Disturb requires several settings be toggled to make the Android Auto work correctly. I could go on... Some of the important default settings are hidden under a special "Developer" menu under the Settings "System" menu. After an online search, I found a secret 7-tap procedure to open it up and disable something else that Google was sure everyone would like. Once all this silliness was adjusted to make this a "normal" Android phone, it's a seriously great phone that would otherwise earn 5-stars. I simply can't understand why phone & computer manufacturers can't send these units out "bare bones" and let the consumer add only what THEY want. Rant over. If you have the patience, buy one.
Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY - ALL PHONES ARE REFURBISHED
By Irina Sh - Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024

Please don't even waste your money even if you think it's a great deal on the New phone, the deal here is THEY SELL REFURBISHED PHONES, so all phones stop working in 90 days (plus/minus 24 hours) Not up to me to tell what everyone really wants from the phone but this is just rubbish and wasted money. The touch screen failed after 90 days. So I have to go to Verison tomorrow and get a new phone, not from Amazon sellers (which is just a waste of money and tons of frustration!)
Poor quality

Bought two pixel 5a from them. Both have problems. The second one's screen loses sensitivity whenever the phone is being charged. The first one broke after it fell off a table with a case on it. Most phones should have survived it.
Black screen but all else still works
By Kiedis1616 - Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2024

This happened after only 3 months of owning the phone. Bought this due to last model with 3.5mm aux jack. Didn't know I was going to have to use it blind. Very hesitant to try any another Pixel now if this is the production quality.
Look out--this phone is NOT compatible with Verizon
By Steven Yoder - Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022

I like the phone. I don't like that it's incompatible with my Verizon network. Advice from the manager at the local Verizon store: never ever order from a reseller like NGP Store--in my case, the phone has an IMEI number that Verizon doesn't recognize, probably because it's an international phone, acc. to him. Instead, order direct from the manufacturer Google. After hours working with Verizon techs to try to make it work, they gave up--and now I'm beyond the 30-day return period. Never again, NGP.
