Sell by brand
Sell your old Google phone.
A Pixel is tied closely to your Google account, and that account is also the lock a buyer worries about. Before quoting, a buyer checks the screen, cameras and battery, and how long the model will keep getting updates. Google promises seven years of updates for the Pixel 8 and later, counted from each model's launch.

What moves the price

Settings > Battery > Battery healthshows the status and an estimated capacity. Reduced means the battery holds less than 80% of its original charge. - Pixel 8 and later models are promised seven years of updates, so buyers value them above older Pixels near the end of support.
- The rear camera glass is checked for cracks or scratches, and every camera is tested.
- On Pixel Fold models, the hinge, the crease and both screens are checked closely.
- The box and the bill help, and so does any warranty left.

Questions
Do I need to remove my Google account before resetting a Pixel?
Yes. Remove it first, then reset from Settings. If you changed your Google password in the last 24 hours, Google advises waiting before you reset.
How long will my Pixel get updates?
Google promises seven years of updates for the Pixel 8 and later, counted from each model's launch. Older Pixels get fewer, and a buyer will check how much support is left.
How do I check my Pixel's battery health?
On Pixel 8a and later, open Settings > Battery > Battery health. Normal is good news; Reduced means the battery holds less than 80% of its original charge. Older Pixels do not show this screen.
Is Recashy linked to Google?
No. Recashy is independent and is not affiliated with Google. The Google and Pixel names are used here only to describe the phones this page covers.
What is your Google worth?
A fair range for your model, age and condition, before anyone quotes you.
