Still working like a new phone. The camera is excellent.
I believe this is my second order from the seller. I ordered a Pixel 5a in early 2023 to install LineageOS then jumped to /e/OS in order to replace my Samsung S10e that I had never been happy with. (Samsung and T-Mobile jointly managed to ruin an otherwise fine phone with forced system updates, forced app installations, and unwanted bloatware and games like Candy Crush being installed over night without permission. I recently read the S10e with the Exynos chips have security vulnerabilities too.)My first Pixel 5a served me well with de-Googled operating systems until a week ago it took one unfortunate fall from a pocket to the hardwood floor and shattered the screen. (Thankfully I have debugging enabled and could use scrcpy to view and use the phone from my PC.) I immediately turned to Amazon to order a replacement and once again I am fully satisfied. The phone arrived quicker than I was quoted and looks to be in perfect condition. If not for it being sold as renewed and not in the original box I would swear it was new.Pros:Excellent conditionUnlocked and allowed installation of alternative OS.Came with a very interesting 3 port USB charger with a voltage and wattage indicator display. (Very light weight and I am skeptical of the quality but it had no problem charging to rechargeable table lamps in a short time.)Shipped fast.Cons:None as far as I can tell.Other:If you are like me and trying to keep Google and other sites out of your life as much as you can then this is a great phone with a sideloaded OS. Lineage is fine but I found I like /e/OS better. If you plan to install /e/OS the current version (2.5) is based around Android 13 while the latest LineageOS 21 is based around Android 14. The instructions to download a couple files are correct but the current Lineage boot.img and dtbo.img will not allow /e/OS to install. (Version mismatch.) You will need to source the older files from Lineage 20. I was smashing my head against the wall trying to figure out why such an easy process in 2023 was causing me so much trouble yesterday. Once I found a backup of the old files through Wayback machine it was easy as always.
The phone was in great shape. It was factory reset and unlocked from carrier. I received a wall charger and cable to go with it. Will update and prolonged use
Title says it all. It suddenly stopped working after 3 months. In the time that it worked, it was great for my mom though!
Device was shipped quick and worked out of the box.
