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’m used to 60Hz screens, and i don’t really notice the higher refresh rate. It’s maybe a bit smoother when scrolling, and I think it’s pretty consistent between different apps. I might make a little experiment where i turn it down to 60 for a day and see if i notice anything!
