Google Pixel Fold, 256GB, Obsidian - Unlocked (Renewed)

I've had my Pixel Fold now for about two months. I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max after being an iPhone user since the iPhone 3g. Something about a foldable was just too cool not to try. I got the phone for around $600 shipped to my door. I bought it as "Refurbished - Excellent", and that's exactly what I got. I couldn't tell if the phone was ever even used prior to me getting it. I've been using it without a case, just a glass screen protector on the front and one over the camera. The front glass does seem to micro scratch pretty easily, hence why I needed up with the screen protector. The battery life and charging speeds were a concern after reading about them, but I don't have any issues with either, period. I didn't charge the phone last night and I'm on it now, typing this review, with 30% battery life. If I had to compare, I'd say my iPhone had better battery life, but it isn't that noticeable and the Pro Max models are known for their exceptional battery life anyway. So what issues have I had? I mentioned the front display scratching easily which is a bummer, but I think they're using glass that is more resistant to shatter, so it's softer. Google Assistant. I miss Siri, and boy was Siri frustrating. I assumed Google's assistant was miles ahead, but not even close. Siri is more usable and I also hate saying Google to summons the assistant. Shouting a brand name just feels dirty. I just don't summons the assistant by voice anymore. Gemini is a step up, but still requires saying Hey Google. I thought android would allow more customization like changing the wake word, but no sir. The dang google search bar at the bottom of the screen. There's a search bar permanently at the bottom of the screen with Google's logo prominently across it. You cant get rid of it. I thought Android was known for its customization, but I never had an Apple logo plastered to my screen 24/7. The only thing you can do is replace the launcher with a third party one. I couldn't find one I liked. Lawnchair was the closest that kinda supports folding phones. Apple Music. You cannot ask Gemini to play a specific song. It doesn't currently support apple music integration. You'll also want to kill the apple music app from running in the background after you're done using it. Otherwise you'll notice excessive battery drain. It needs to be able to run in the background to continue playing after locking the phone. It doesn't fold open completely flat. It's true. I wish it snapped open, but it's a V1 product. Heaviness. The phone is a bit on the heavy side. I don't notice it too much in the pocket, but using it while folded in the closed position can feel a bit heavy after awhile. Using it while open feels great. The thickness while closed (again, with no case) is almost exactly the thickness of my iPhone 13 Pro Max with its case, a pretty thin case too. Overall I love it and I'm keeping it. It'a a cool piece of tech. And for the price, I don't have to worry too much about something happening to it, though I do take good care of it. I use it opened probably 60% of the time. I use it with a PS2 emulator, all the emulator really, and played through Simpsons Hit and run already. As a bonus, the feeling of it snapping closed is satisfying.

So far so good. My pixel8 charge port broke and needed an inexpensive replacement. This seemed like a cool phone so I took a chance. I have spectrum service and it works just fine, booted up no problem with great reception. Transferred all info and did the necessary updates. I actually really like this fold! The condition of the phone is excellent just as described. I wouldn't have known it was a refurb if it wasn't stated in the description. The camera is on par with what you would expect from a pixel. Battery life is actually better than I was expecting honestly. I think for the price, this is a great option for someone wanting to experience a fold phone. Screen is sharp, everything seems to be running smoothly and fluidly. All of the features work exactly as described. This is a short term review and will update the long term use as well when the time comes. Overall.... I have no regrets giving this phone a try, I actually like it much more than my 8. If you're thinking about it, give it a go! The crease is not even noticable when the screen is lit and looking straight on.

I love my Google pixel Fold, even though it's refurbished, you'd NEVER KNOW IT. The pictures, screen, video quality are all excellent!! Well worth th price[UPDATE] 03/22/2026 DO NOT TAKE CHANCES, 3 months after purchase, it just stopped working, NO DROP NO SPILLS, Just got extremely hot screen went blank, would not power on,contacted seller and pretty much 🤷🏽‍♀️ OH WELL..when I have to purchase a phone,I always purchase refurbished and in this case by credit because my only income is disability. This is the first one that not only the phone, but the seller has failed me..EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!! WHEN I PAY $350.00-$400.00 I would expect BETTER QUALITY AND BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE GAZELLE IS MY OTHER REFURBISHED PHONE DEALER WITH GREAT PHONES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IM CURRENTLY UPDATING WITH MY SAMSUNG Z5 FOLD, it was cheaper than this pixel Fold and the screen, memory and service is so much better!!!

This was sold as in Excellent condition but easily could have been sold as in Premium Condition. It looked as good as NEW and has 98% battery life with only 151 charge cycles on a 3 year old phone as of Dec '25! So far it's runnjing great. I bought this phone when it was originally released, but screen cracked. Google eventually sent me a replacement. I was afraid of the replacement one cracking also, so sold it on Swappa. BUT at this price, I'll give it a go again. I really like this Passport style form factor for a folding phone. The seller did a wonderfull job to get this phone ready for resale!

This is an awesome phone - if you have any questions if you might use a foldable phone, this is the way to try it. At this price point it's a total no brainer - the format is perfect, it runs smoothly even today. There's two things wrong in this 3 year old phone model: it's heavy for what you get vs more modern phones, and the battery life lasts only about a day. If you can spend $400 and make do with these two issues, you'll be rewarded with an amazing fun format that really impressed other people when you need to share, or you watch movies or videos, or have data to display or share. I really liked this phone and really think they screwed up by changing out of the passport format on the 9 and 10 fold. Hoping they return to it in the 11.

This is my first foldable smartphone (coming from a Pixel 6a) and I have to say this device feels premium (without a case on). Let's get the flaws (cosmetics not user experience) out of the way: - Device had dust between the hinge on both sides, but primarily near the outer screen. Couldn't fully remove it, but case does a decent job to hide it. - Hinge itself contains minor scratches if you look very closely. - Inner screen has small indentation marks (small circles) near the center right of the screen. This can only be seen when the screen is off and in direct lighting (hard to capture on camera due to reflection). - Camera bar has minor scratches and a spot that doesn't fully wipe away clean (see photo). Other than that, device functions well enough for my needs. Now for the positives: -Outer screen was in pristine condition with no visible scratches. - Hinge mechanism feels sturdy enough (only had trouble opening it the first time due to being unfamiliar with how to open or close properly). - Thermals are okay. Haven't experienced any over heating. The device runs a bit warm when doing something for longer periods of time. - Performance is smooth given the 12GB of RAM, 120Hz screen, and Tensor G2 chip. - Cameras work well too, but I would have to do more testing. No issues with focusing or any of the sensors. - Small outer screen is a plus. Reminds me of my Pixel 3 and Pixel 4. I bought my refurbished (excellent condition) from SoonerSoft. I wish the device was in slightly better condition considering how much I paid for (~$600 flat), but it is what it is. Can't comment on battery life just yet, since I haven't gotten a chance to fully test the phone (I was waiting for the case to arrive). As for charging, I usually charge my devices overnight using adaptive charging. Currently charging it wired, but will start to revert back to wireless charging.

Great phone came in on time and in excellent condition

Only light scuffs on the other screen from a case i'm guessing. only visible in direct sunlight. I had to go directly to att and have them add a new esim to the device since it would not activate over the internet. it do see sim cards as i tired one of my old tmobile card. The sound is great i like that it comes from 2 speakers, Screen size when closed is about right for one handed use, battery life is showing to be pretty good. camera's are also in good condition for the other and inner ones.

Great condition

Guten Tag, ist für mich persönlich das BESTE SMARTPHONE in Bedienung dass ich je hatte. Und ich hatte schon mindestens 20 Stk. in Gebrauch. Grüße wowie

En perfecto estado ni un arañazo , no llevaba el pincho para la tarjeta y el cable de carga no es USB . Tampoco venía en su caja , pero estaba perfectamente envuelto.

Excelente, no trae su caja original ero viene con los manuales y cableado. Hasta el momento no presentas fallas ni da lata. Estetica de 10 y funcionamiento excepcional.
