I've recently upgraded to Google Pixel 6 from my Huawei P30 Pro and my signal has been awful ever since, particularly in public places. I've compared mine with other 02 users at the same venues and mine is considerably worse. Please help?

%g is still new and may not be fully up and running in all areas, so try turning off 5g where you struggle and just use 4g.

Every phone uses a different algorithm to show the signal strength, so 1 bar on for example a Pixel 6 is 2 bars on a Huawei and 3 bars on an iPhone

 

There are a few bugs on the Pixel Range that are being fixed by Google as time goes by, and on my Pixel 6 Pro the signal strength indicator I tend to ignore it seems to be very fluid.
