There’s a lot to love about Google’s new Pixel 10 smartphones, including sleek designs, cutting-edge AI and fresh camera capabilities. But like any new flagship phone, its price tag is likely to be your least favourite feature. Luckily, there’s a way you can cut down on the cost: buying refurbished.

Refurbished smartphones give you all the perks of the hottest new phone models, but let you keep more cash in your bank account. When you purchase a refurbished Google Pixel 10, you can save hundreds of dollars.

The idea of used smartphone shopping might give you the ick, but buying a refurb doesn’t mean settling for second best. It’s the opposite, in fact! Refurbishing gives a smartphone more than a makeover: it gives it a new life. A refurb is a pre-loved phone that a professional has put through strict testing and repairing procedures before sending it back into the world to find someone new.

If you’re going to buy a second-hand Pixel 10, refurbished is your safest bet.

Although it’s new to the market, it’s already possible to pick up a Google Pixel 10 refurbished, and frankly, it’s the best course of action. Here’s how to get your hands on the most affordable Pixel 10s around!

Everything You Need To Know About the Latest Google Pixel 10

On August 28, 2025, Google unveiled its 10th generation of its very popular Android phones. While Google’s Pixel range has long been known for its camera quality and AI features enabled by the brand’s custom-built Tensor chip, the Pixel 10 is the most exciting development in Google smartphones yet.

There are four models in the range, all with cool, eye-catching designs: the standard Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro Max and foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold. There are the usual differences in screen size, battery capacity, charging speeds and RAM. But no matter which phone you pick, there are benefits. The most impressive features include:

The new Tensor G5 chip

The new custom silicon Tensor G5 chip is the biggest upgrade since the Tensor was launched, with a 34% faster CPU and a 60% more powerful TPU than the G4 chip in its predecessor. What does that mean for you? Faster processing, faster all-around performance, a longer battery life and the capacity for next-level AI features.

New AI capabilities

The Pixel 10 embraces artificial intelligence in the most useful ways, with new features to enjoy.

Magic Cue is your little personal assistant working tirelessly in the background to bring you the right information when you need it. Instantly pull up the photos you’re looking for or the information you need from an email the moment the occasion calls for it. No fussing about with searching!

Live Translation lets you translate what you’re saying into another language in real time and in the sound of your own voice, finally giving you the upper hand over the DuoLingo Owl.

There’s also Camera Coach, your own in-app photography mentor who gives you suggestions on the fly for composing better photos. For the shots you’ve already taken, there’s Edit with Asks Photos, which suggests attractive tweaks.

With this new feature, the Google Pixel 10 gets its own form of magnetic wireless charging similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology. This easy approach to charging your phone allows for charging of as much as 15W on the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and 25W on the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Camera

With advanced AI-driven features, the camera automatically adjusts settings to capture stunning shots, whether it’s a crisp landscape or a close-up portrait. The Night Sight mode ensures your photos stay sharp and vibrant, even in low-light conditions, while the ultra-wide lens allows you to capture more of the scene. From everyday moments to professional-grade shots, the Pixel 10’s camera adapts to your needs, making it the perfect choice for anyone who loves photography.

How to Get the Google Pixel 10 Cheaper

In Australia, the Google Pixel 10 starts at around $1,349 for a 128GB model. While this is a pretty typical starting price for a flagship Android phone, no one could blame you for wanting to score a bargain.


There are several ways to find a more affordable Pixel 10, including shopping around and watching for promotions. But the most effective approach is likely to be buying a Google Pixel 10 refurbished.


A refurbished Pixel 10 is a second-hand device that an experienced professional has restored to a “new-like” condition. It has been professionally data wiped, restored, and extensively checked and tested to ensure it meets the high standards required for professional sale in Australia. Some refurbished smartphones, known as “ex-demo” phones, have only been taken out of the box to be put on display in retail outlets, giving them a pristine quality that’s basically on par with the new, full-price range.

Other Benefits of Buying the Google Pixel 10 Refurbished

It’s more affordable. That’s the main reason to buy refurbished, but it’s not the only one. There are a few other benefits to purchasing a Google Pixel 10 refurbished:

Reliable

Refurbished mobile phones tend to function pretty much just like new smartphones, although some of them may be a little scuffed or dented. Their new-like condition and guarantee of quality make them a more trustworthy choice for shoppers who want the best.

Environmentally friendly

Every year, millions of discarded mobile phones end up in landfills, adding to the growing problem of e-waste. Buying refurbished saves yet another perfectly good handset from joining the scrap heap and helps reduce the resources involved in constantly producing new smartphones. It’s an excellent way to promote the circular economy and work towards a more sustainable way of life.

Warranties

Regular second-hand phones don’t come with warranties, but refurbished ones do. As long as you buy from a trustworthy company, you can rest easy; your phone will be repaired or replaced if something goes wrong.

So, where can you get your hands on a Google Pixel 10 refurbished? Frankly, you’re already in the right place.
