Beware after latest update, some unlocked A53 variants may cause issue with T-Mobile band. It detects signals, but all calls randomly get rejected and go to voicemail right away.

With all these recent sales, it all comes to preference and price points. The "excellent " rated refurbs are great though, and they look brand new. I would consider a "new" Pixel 6A only if the price was the same or below this A53. Just my opinion though.

I recently got one and can verify the black is awesome.

YYwireless otherwise known as Bayshiretrading located in my state. Just avoid them. Sorry to say it but they have no clue how to "rate" conditions of phones.

I'm less concerned about how the phone looks and much more concerned about how much battery health is remaining. I'm not talking about battery life, but actual charge cycles in the battery of these devices.

Totally agree. Pixel 6a is a much much better phone: twice the speed; much better cameras ( yes, samsung's 64MP camera is inferior); metal frame; unique google featutres (such as Live caption, spam and call screen, car crash detection...) ; iphone style haptic; clean system ( samsung phone is notorios for it's disguisting bloatware)

Believe me, 6a cameras are better. 60Hz don't bother me at all.

Can the Misleading title be fixed to mention that this is a REFURBISHED ITEM??
