Sell your Pixel 4 for cash

Storage first, then wear. A 128GB in Fair condition, meaning heavy wear you can feel with a fingernail but no cracks, is $11. The same phone at 64GB is $5. If the face unlock has failed or the glass is cracked, a 128GB is $4. The quote tool at the top gives you your own figure.

Yes, at the Faulty price, and this is the single most important thing on this page. The Pixel 4 has no fingerprint reader. Face unlock is the only biometric it has, so when face unlock fails there is no other way in and a working part of the phone has genuinely stopped working. Any functionality issue on an Android phone means Faulty.

Before you settle on that, wipe the top bar with a soft cloth. The infrared camera and the dot projector sit under it, and a smear of grease or a badly fitted screen protector across that strip fails face unlock in exactly the same way a broken sensor does. Clean it, delete your saved face in Settings, set it up again, and try five unlocks in a row.

It is Motion Sense, a small radar chip in the top bezel that let you skip tracks or silence an alarm by waving over the phone. Google put it in the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL and never used it again. On its own it does not change your grade, but it is part of the phone, so if the gestures no longer respond at all that counts as something not working, the same as any other broken feature. Note it was switched off in some countries from new, which is not a fault.

Screen size, 5.7 inches against 6.3, and the XL is obviously taller in the hand. Both have the same wide top bar, the same square camera bump and no fingerprint reader on the back, so those will not help you. If yours is the bigger one, the Pixel 4 XL page prices it separately and pays a little more.

Turn it over. If there is a round fingerprint reader below the camera, it is not a Pixel 4. The Pixel 3 has one and every Pixel from the 5 onward has one somewhere. The Pixel 4 has a clean glass back and a thick black bar above the screen instead, and that combination belongs to this phone and the 4 XL alone.

Yes. Any crack or chip, front, back or camera glass, means Faulty regardless of how well it works. A 64GB in that state is $2 and a 128GB is $4. Choose Faulty at the quote step and the figure holds when the phone reaches us.

Anything that has stopped doing its job. A power button that has to be pressed twice, a charging port that only takes the cable one way round, a speaker that distorts, a camera that will not focus, a phone that reboots by itself. It is one idea rather than a list. Cracks, chips and burn-in also land in Faulty even on a phone that runs perfectly.

This is an OLED panel, so it can burn in, and burn-in is Faulty. Turn the brightness up, dim the room, and fill the screen with a plain white image. Look for a permanent ghost of the clock, the battery icon or the navigation bar. A single dead pixel is not burn-in. Neither is the faint color shift you see when the screen is tilted away from you. Both of those are normal.

No. There is no battery health rule on Android phones here, so ignore percentages entirely and do not go hunting for a battery screen. The Pixel 4 has a reputation for short battery life and that reputation costs you nothing at all. Only a battery that has genuinely failed matters, and it is caught by the ordinary rule about things that do not work.

Good is light wear you stop noticing at arm's length. Average is light wear you can see but cannot catch a fingernail on. Fair is heavy wear that your fingernail does catch on, with no cracks or chips anywhere. Flawless means no marks at all. Run a nail across the glass back and around the frame before you pick, because that is exactly what our inspection does.

Yes. Choose the carrier instead of unlocked at the quote step and the price adjusts. Unlocked pays the most on this model at both storage sizes and every grade. Carrier locks never block a sale here. Google account locks do, and blacklisted, lost or stolen phones we have to turn down outright.

It arrives FRP locked, which means we cannot test it, cannot wipe it and cannot resell it, so there is no grade it can be bought at and it goes back to you at our expense. Removing the account first and then resetting avoids the whole problem. Settings, Passwords and accounts to remove it, then Settings, System, Reset options, Erase all data. On this phone, delete your saved face model while you are in there.

Not until the balance is cleared. A phone on an installment plan or a lease is under a financial obligation, and we do not purchase devices under financial obligations. Pay it off and it quotes the same as any other Pixel 4, no penalty for having financed it.

Rarely, and often there is no offer to compare against on a phone from 2019. Carrier deals arrive as monthly bill credit tied to a new line and spread across two or three years, so the value is locked inside their bill. Ours is money, sent by whichever of four methods you pick, on the day the phone clears inspection.

Four ways. A gift card by email, which works out around 3 percent above the rest because the brands add a bonus. PayPal, instant, with PayPal's own 2.99 percent fee taken out. Bank transfer at 2 to 4 days. A check at 3 to 5. Every one of them goes out the same day your phone clears inspection, and a sealed Brand New phone is paid by PayPal only.
