    I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don’t see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.

      5G is slower than 4G 9 times out of 10 for me. I don’t understand wtf AT&T is doing.

              For sure, and every network upgrade has been like this in the beginning, but this time it’s been a long time and 5G just isn’t better in anyway. On my personal phone it would cost me $40 more to upgrade the family plan to 5G so there’s no point.

        S21 Ultra user here, not in US.

        My experience is the same. 50/20 on 4G and the same area which has 5G also had 18/5 lol

    I know this is for the 8 pro but man the modem on the 7 pro was such bullsh… All kinds of issues. So bad that even googles support gave in and offered a refund after 1 year.

    For a while I was considering the 8 pro, but I think their hardware is not close to par with the others yet and the new price is a joke for a pixel.

    Went for something else instead and won’t return to pixel for at least a few years.

      I think the modem is the same anyway. At most they may have changed some behaviour with software but it’s still crap.

        Overheating in summer (this is the soc not the modem but still), calls dropping constantly, bad call quality, with dual sim people couldn’t call me even though I had full reception. I got a replacement unit, created bug reports, changed providers etc… For me it was a piece of shit at the end of the day, and I’m a pixel fan :D (well was)

        No issues with my pixel 1 or 3, or the iPhone.

    I have the P8 pro with 4G. And I barely drop below 40 % during the day. And that with plenty of screen on time.

      I mean, I’ve been skipping every last one after my Pixel XL bricked itself. Got a Samsung S9+. Waiting for that good Pixel yet. A compelling reason to give up this phone.
