Google Pixel 4a 5G Clearly White (Renewed)

The phone itself is working great, however it came with a peeled back cover that I wasn’t fore warned

It is well used, but cared for. What do you get with that? Free of any external damage, but an end of life battery. There is visible swelling, and excessive heat. If this were "renewed," then that battery would have been replaced. Instead, it was tossed in the "good enough" bin, and overcharged on a resale. It gets two stars because it wasn't stolen.

The phone was locked to Verizon as a carrier. I spent over two hours on the phone attempting to get the phone unlocked but now need to return the device. Description was misleading.

For being a pretty old Pixel phone, I gotta give it up to Google - really solid. Saw some slowness using MDM (mobile device management) and Outlook for work, but over all it is good. The only real complaint I have is that the screen has burn-in. This is actually the fault of the reseller. They left it on one screen far too long when running operability tests and diagnostics. I may end up returning it just for this as they did not say that it had screen burn-in. This is really a shame, not mention frustrating as the description said it was in its best condition. I'd say its worth $150 if it didn't have a screen problem due to its age, but less than $100 because of it. It is also Verizon locked so be aware of that (not a problem either because I am on the Verizon network, but any phone can be unlocked by calling into Verizon or said carrier (as long as it is not considered lost or stolen) or using a third party called UnlockRiver.com. - this company does the leg work for you to unlock and so it costs a bit, but beats dealing with phone support. That being said, if you use dark mode you don't see the burn-in, but if you are using light mode it is clearly visible - see the images attached. I cannot use dark mode because it does the opposite and hurts my eyes and makes things hard to read. Battery seems pretty great. Camera's are dated, but that is to be expected and you can tell their processing speed to switch between lenses shows, but its a work phone, doesn't matter so much. I can't say I recommend this seller through Amazon since they were not honest about the screen functionality. I suppose I could request an exchange, but likely they all have screen burn-in issues.

Battery life sucks and they sent a locked phone instead of the unlocked one I ordered.

Love this phone I've gotten all the pixel a phones & their great ! I'm happy about this renewed phone it looks brand new & I actually got the phone faster then I thought so thank you
