Though the Pixel 5 was just announced, it will still be some time before we see stellar Pixel 5 deals that aren't attached to a carrier offer. If you only have a few hundred dollars to spend on your next device, the Pixel 4 could be a much better option. Right now BackMarket has select Google Pixel 4 devices on sale in refurbished condition starting as low as $359. BackMarket allows you to select the item's condition you want when purchasing, so you can sometimes save a bit by choosing a different condition.
Consider this white Google Pixel 4 for instance. You can pick up the unlocked refurbished device in mint condition for just $369 or save $10 extra by choosing the device in 'very good' condition. With the mint condition device, you'd barely be able to tell a difference between it and a brand new model. BackMarket even includes free U.S. shipping and a one-year warranty with every purchase. This model previously sold for $799 brand new and is currently priced at $637 via Amazon.
Those interested in picking up the Google Pixel 4 XL can save quite a bit today as well. BackMarket has this 64GB Google Pixel 4 XL on sale today for as low as $419. This is also a refurbished device though the sale price is on the 'very good' condition rather than mint. This device originally sold for $899 brand new and can now be found at Amazon for $649.
These unlocked devices are suitable for use on GSM carriers, including AT&T and T-Mobile. Now that the Pixel 5 is available to pre-order, Google is discontinuing the Pixel 4 so it will be difficult to find brand new models sold in retail stores soon.
