Hey guys, I’m looking into buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5 (I have couple of options between amazon and other stores), however I’m not entirely sure about the longevity of a refurbished phone.

Positive reviews are often left by people who just bought the phone, but most of the negative reviews I found were from people who used it for more than couple of months and it concerns me.

Price is good, I’m looking specifically into a Pixel 5 because of the size which is much smaller than my Galaxy Note 9 that I find really uncomfortable to use.

Thank you!

    I don’t know about selling more phones, but it’s definitely a profit angle. I’m not sure if using a phone without security updates for that long is a good idea. It’s one of those it works until it doesn’t, and you’ll be regretting it very much when it doesn’t.
