I bought a refurbished Google Pixel 8 for just €260 in 2026 — and honestly, I was surprised how well it still holds up.
The Pixel 8 launched in 2023, but thanks to 7 years of Android updates, clean software, a 120Hz OLED display, and one of the best photo cameras in this price range, it’s still a very solid option today.
If you’re looking for a compact, budget-friendly Android phone that just works — this might be the one.
