Next Loop & Google: The Android Opportunity

Google Pixels are gaining massive traction in the B2B space. Learn why their clean software and incredible cameras make them a high-margin opportunity for resellers.

The Rise of Pixel

While Apple dominates the headlines, Google's Pixel range has quietly become a powerhouse in the refurbished market. With their extended software support (7 years for the Pixel 8 generation) and best-in-class cameras, they offer incredible value to efficient consumers.

Why Stock Google?

  1. Price-to-Performance: A refurbished Pixel 7 or 8 offers flagship performance at a mid-range price point, making it an easy sell during economic downturns.
  2. Clean OS: Unlike other Androids bloomed with apps, Pixels run stock Android, making them easier to test, reset, and resell.
  3. Camera Demand: The "Pixel Look" photography style drives specific demand from content creators and younger demographics.

Specific Testing Protocols

Testing a Pixel requires attention to specific areas:

  • The "Visor" Camera Bar: The unique glass camera bar on Pixels is prone to scratching. We micro-polish this area to ensure clear photos.
  • OLED Screen quality: Pixels use high-quality OLED panels. We run specific "burn-in" tests (Red/Green/Blue/White screens) to ensure no ghost images from navigation bars.
  • Fingerprint Sensors: We calibrate and test the under-display fingerprint sensors to ensure rapid unlocking.
