Deal: Get a refurbished Google Pixel 2 XL for just $499 from Best Buy

The Google Pixel 2 XL is still a rather pricey proposition, but if you don't mind a refurbished model, Best Buy has an attractive deal for you.

The retail chain is offering a 64GB "Geek Squad certified refurbished" Pixel 2 XL for just $499.99. According to Best Buy's outlet guide, Geek Squad-certified refurbished devices are in excellent condition and include the original accessories and packaging.

The retailer claims this is $350 off the regular price, but it's quite misleading to compare the price of a refurbished device to that of a brand-new model. Nevertheless, the $500 price is still a tasty deal compared to refurbished models on Amazon, which are usually pegged at $600+. Keen on taking advantage of this Pixel 2 XL deal?
