Amazon.com: Google Pixel 7 Pro 5G, US Version, 128GB, Hazel - Unlocked (Renewed) : Cell Phones & Accessories

I received the phone in a timely manner. It was in good cosmetic condition. Very little markings on it at all. When I set the phone up and inserted my sim card, it indicated the sim card was not compatible. In checking, I found that the phone was locked to the AT&T network and not an UNLOCKED phone as was advertised in the listing. I was very disappointed. The seller, being a third party, is out of stock and my only option was to return the phone for a refund and have to make a new purchase at a higher price (when I purchased the phone last week several sellers were offering discounts that are not being offered this week).Lesson Learned to not trust Amazon Refurbished phones to be unlocked as indicated in the listing. As big as Amazon is, I think there should be a registry that they would require the sellers to enter the imei into for the phone they are selling to verify that it is unlocked when they list it as an unlocked phone. The information is available on the web and it would prevent a lot of fraudulent activity on Amazons site.

Upgraded from a Pixel 3XL to the Pixel 7Pro and got a great deal on a renewed phone. No scratches or display issues, looks and performs like brand new. This phone came with a screen protector with a small crack. I easily popped that off and gave it that Brand New Look. First time to use facial recognition and it works very well, frankly even better than the fingerprint method the way I have it set up. Facial recognition needs plenty of light to work best but the phone is fast and running the latest Android 14. Very happy with what I got for the price.

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.

I purchased a renewed Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14 from Amazon in January 2024. I do not recommend this phone to anyone for any purpose.I've purchased renewed phones from Amazon before with seemingly no issues. From day one, this phone boots up with a message that the OS may have been compromised with the link "g.co/ABH" for more information.Early on, I couldn't use tap to pay, as my wallet's bank (WF) says my phone doesn't support the feature; note that the BANK declined when the card is added to my wallet, not the phone, the phone's app, or the phone's OS. I can't find in the Play Store certain Android 13 apps (such as Blackmagic Camera), as Play Store says my phone doesn't support the app. Blackmagic Camera was released and only works on Pixel 7/8 and Samsung S24.So it seems Amazon has some bootloaded Android version, likely spying on me. Buyer beware.

Pros:CPU/GPU performance is good.Solid build, sturdy feel.Can withstand a drop or two while in a protective case screen protector without cracking.Amazing camera! Wow! Can zoom in optical quality from 100 feet away for a close up without getting grainy.100% GrapheneOS compatible. All google apps are sandboxed!!Call quality is pretty good. Clear voice on both ends of call. Though see below in Cons for fringe areas of service.Cons:Stock OS Google bloatware!Stock OS Google cyberstalking!Stock OS Google telemetry/data collection and sale without consent!Seems to have trouble in fringe areas of T-mobile service area. This causes picket fencing in the voice channel (voices fade in and out). My Revvl 2 did not have this problem.Misc:This phone would totally suck without GrapheneOS, but with it, the phone is totally awesomeallowing user to get rid of all the Google shenanigans.Also gives user total control of almost all apps, including "disable" and "force stop" (yes even google apps).
