Google Pixel 7 Pro 5G, US Version, 128GB, Obsidian - Unlocked (Renewed)

Pretty ironic that only a Google phone can be totally deGoogled. Ha. My Pixel 7 Pro arrived fast, in excellent condition and completely unlocked. I was able to install GrapheneOS without a hitch and it works great. I've been wanting one of these for a while. Now, I'm almost totally degoogled. If you're getting one of these to run GraphenOS, do it. It feels so freeing and you can do everything and more that you could on any other normie phone. Graphene comes with the option to run Google Play sandboxed, so you can still run pretty much any app and get push notifications without needing a Google account or giving it hardly any permissions. I get nearly everything I need on F-Droid though.The camera really is awesome. The camera app that comes with GrapheneOS works great, but the only Google app I use is their Pixel camera app that I downloaded through Aurora store because it has some really neat timelapse and night features that can take full advantage of the camera. It took a few tries reconnecting on Aurora to allow me to load it, but eventually it connected through a Russian server and works perfect. It's all in English and the same version, it just installed through a different server since apparently they do some type of check and only allow the camera app to be downloaded on Pixel phones.Be sure to update the phone several times before installing GrapheneOS. It had Android 13 when I received it, but after running all the updates, its up to version 15 now.Battery life has been excellent, so far. I think a large part of that is just because it doesn't have Google constantly running stuff in the background.This is the best phone and OS I've ever had. It does suck that there's no SD card slot or headphone jack, but with how cheap storage is and how simple it is to transfer stuff, its not really a big deal. The 5x optical zoom camera makes up for it.The only complaint I have is it showed a charging brick in the description photos and when I asked if it was included, the automatic AI thing told me it was. I did not receive a charging brick, any accessories or literature, only a cheap 2.0 USB-A to USB-C cable not good for transferring data.(Pic is the city of Destin taken from the beach 20 miles away using 5x zoom and long night time exposure).

Phone was in really great shape as described, fast delivery. One tiny blemish on glass, no dents. Works perfectly. I purchased the phone to use as a camera only unit for work, so I can't speak to carrier compatibility but it has no issues with wi-fi or bluetooth connection. Camera is very good. Only complaint is that the battery drains super fast - didn't use it from Friday to Sunday and the battery drained 60+ % just sitting there. This might not be a hardware issue; since it's a Google phone it seems to stay in constant contact with the Google mothership via wi-fi and there's no way to shut that part down. Overall I'd recommend this seller.

I'll be ordering another one for a second chance. If it changes, I will change my review.This phone was NOT unlocked. Honestly it was beautiful. Not a single scratch. Practically brand new as far as I can tell. However, I need an unlocked Pixel 7 or higher for GrapheneOS, and this phone was a Verizon locked phone! (Double-checked with Google's Online Repair service by inputting the IMEI). I can't complete my project with an OEM locked phone. It is POSSIBLE this is CARRIER unlocked, which means you can use it with any carrier - I have no way of testing that. But it is 100% a Verizon phone according to the IMEI. I am returning and ordering another, hopefully getting a truly unlocked one, or I will be returning that one as well.

Very good phone. I bought this phone as an experiment phone that I can download custom operating systems on without being worried about damaging my daily driver phone and I've got some thoughts. This is a renewed excellent grade and I would say it fits relatively loosely in the excellent grade. Mostly it fits perfectly in terms of functionality and battery life. I've gotten lucky with renewed phones before that turned out to just be new open box returns but these phones are 3 years old now so the possibility of that is getting pretty low. It's got some scratches on the screen that aren't visible unless under direct light, and it's got a lot of strange residue dots on the back glass that won't come off no matter what kinda like someone sprayed it with bug spray and just never cleaned it off (don't ask how I know what happens when glass is sprayed with bug spray). Which is whatever to me. I specifically wanted a cheap phone I didn't feel bad about if it got bricked. But I'm writing this review on it if that tells you anything. Very solid device; only issues are cosmetic.
