I work at Google and I don't always know which phone is which.

It's a phone. It does phone things.

I wish. Pixel 6 (Pro) often has trouble doing "phone things", like making calls or transmitting data.

It's really astonishing to me how deeply bad the radio in the P6Pro is. It's such a huge step back from the Pixel 5, likely owing to them moving off of the Qualcomm radio and on to... Tensor? Some Tensor/Samsung Exynos hybrid? Either way it's misery salad. Drops calls. Can't handle wifi transition. Can't manage low-signal 5G, so just... stops working instead of falling back to LTE properly. Can't handle the UWB transition. Hot as hell when it's actually backing up anything large. Awful all around on that front.

And, really, how many more phone things do you need it to do? Will doing more phone things make it noticeably better?
