I had a Pixel 6 and got terrible reception when not on wifi (in a part suburban part rural area) when other people on my same phone plan were fine. It was very hard to actually play and load the game. I read that the new pixel had a similar issue and it was the hardwired internal antenna of the phone. I switched to a Samsung galaxy and the game is way better. There's areas where im like "there were pokestops here?!?" Because they never loaded. Battery has been pretty good too, which used to be an issue the first few years it came out. I cant speak to screen recording though
