Amazon renewed/refurb phones?
Are Amazon refurbished phones worth it, or should I save my store credits?
I've bought an "Amazon Renewed" product before this one is in "Excellent" condition, have any of you guys purchased an amazon renewed procduct before?

Anyone have good experience with purchasing from Amazon a renewed or refurb.
My apologies if this is breaking any community guidelines, I am new here. I'm posting here on Frugal since i've seen a few similar posts in this subreddit.
I have been thinking of getting a new phone for quite some time. I have been using an LG V30 for the past 2-3 years. It still functions fine, but the camera quality is worse that I'd like it to be as a photographer. I would like to upgrade to something with a good camera, and something that would last me for a while. Due to a few very kind gifts, I now have enough gift money on Amazon for a decent used phone. I have been looking at the iphone 12 mini and google pixel 6a in specific. They are both in my price range, have good cameras, and would (hopefully) last me a good 4-5 years. The only issue is that these are refurbished items, and many people who have bought anything refurbished from amazon have received products in poor condition and end up getting a refund. I have read several threads where people recommend going straight through Apple's refurbished store, but I have amazon-specific credits, and their items are still wildly out of my price range. Now I'm wondering if I would be better off just saving the cash for a later date on something I know I would get good use of. Does anyone have experience with Amazon refurbished? Should I take the risk? Thanks in advance.
