Google Pixels are generally regarded as pretty reliable Android phones. I’d certainly recommend them to friends and family craving a solid Android experience. However, they do have a few chinks in their armor, and one that seems to cause repeated problems is a lackluster connectivity experience.

Older Pixels have had notable modem-related flaws, from the Pixel 6’s reception problems through to the Pixel 10’s more recent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth woes. Thankfully, that’s something Google has seemingly acknowledged and is now addressing by switching to MediaTek modems. However, we were certainly intrigued to learn exactly which connectivity issues Pixel users have suffered from in the past.
