Oh, in my case Face Unlock is reliable, sometimes to reliable, when I try to put my phone away it suddenly unlocks because my face was near :)

Oh and a trivia about Pixel 4 Soli (which is a gimmick, nothing more), I was wondering why my music suddently restarted so frequently when I was in car.

And I found out why after few days - since a week we have a lot of rain, so when I drive I have windscreenwwipers and this was somehow being picked up by soli (when my phone was mounted near windshield, but not that near) :)

Yeah I had to disable the proximity sensor for the music controls, it 1) triggered constantly when I didn't want it to, and 2) took 4-5 tries when I actually tried to use it (ie swipe to the next song with dirty hands in the kitchen). It's a neat idea, just unpolished.
