I've had a pixel 6 pro for 4 years and it's starting to have screen issues. To have the screen replaced would cost me £200. I'm thinking it may be more cost effective to replace the phone?
If I replaced it, it would be with something of a similar or higher spec, but there's no way i'm spending £800 on a phone again. I don't mind not having the latest phone.
I've seen Pixel 8a going for £350, but the screen is only 6.1", so that's a no go.
Is it worth considering a refurbished phone, or should I buy new only?
TLDR:
- Recommmend me a replacement for Pixel 6 pro
- Don't mind if it's 2 generations old.
- £400 max. The cheaper, the better.
- Similar or better spec than Pixel 6 pro.
- 6.7" screen
