Pixel 3 XL owner here. I may be seeing a slight improvement in reception compared to my previous Pixel 2 XL, but am not 100% sure yet. I have the Fi Switch app, and will compare the statistics it reports over the next month to the 2XL statistics I saved. Some places I go make Project Fi switch to all 3 cellular network options, so the data should be interesting.

Also a 3XL owner. Cellular throughout is fantastic (on T-Mobile) compared to my previous phone (LG V20).
This is most likely due to the Pixel 3 XL supporting band 71. I'm finally able to utilize those new, high penetration low frequency TMo towers.

Do not judge by the bars on home screen.
I've watched videos with zero bars, and made phone calls with zero bars, right beside my wifes iPhone with 2 bars and she can't make a call.
Not cellular, but the bluetooth stays connected consistently with no fuss. The s6 edge I had before couldn't keep up with the Priv. Call/ cellular quality is also great.
I've noticed that I haven't had as many bars as my iPhone 6s Plus on tmobile... but having said that, I haven't seen any difference in the speed of the LTE between the 2 so far. Everything seems to be working great.
I am moving to a very weak signal area where the iPhone 6 struggles. I am comparing the priv with the 6p, does anyone have any feedback on how the priv is likely to perform?

I use the phone with two sim cards, one of them is only for internet.
My plan is 20GB at unlimited speed/month and I have almost finished them for this month. The signal coverage for 4G at my region is not all that great but it`s there for most of the time. I have no problems with constant streaming of fullHD videos. There is no dropout even if I get in the basement. (I live in concrete building)
The main sim card for calls is other story, mainly because of the sh***y signal from the operator. The phone manage great even in the times the signal drops to 2G but there is tangible difference in call quality.
So have one in mind if you plan to buy and use this model in zones with very bad signal.

Often the phone has reception but doesn't connect to Internet. To fix this I have to manually disable and enable cellular data.
I find this phone loses data entirely in low signal situations, where other devices are able to keep a week 4g connection. It also likes to drop to Edge inexplicably and orientation effects signal more than I'd like. It generally performs great in areas with decent reception.
Generally, it's pretty good. Using At&t here... will switch back to T-Mobile once I unlock in a bit.
Metro PC's service doesn't do too well but I'm in the country.
I have metro by Tmobile and have been having data issues. It seems like the phone suffers from poor reception, just enough to make it unusable in low/medium signal strength areas. If you go to the Motorola forums its all over the place. I recently switched to the TMOprofile in my APN. This made my phone usable but i still notice the weak reception.

I would say very poor. Indoor signal very low and and while gaming, constant high latency 120+ with mobile legend.
When i take out the sim and put in my MiFi device, signal became much better and latency averaging below 50ms while gaming.
I was like wtf is this gaming phone with low signal performance?!
Totally dissappointed.
I’ll say that my mobile signal reception has been extremely bad
even though it shows bars but my phone has no signal… I switched on WIFICalls but never worked
finally I switched off 5G but did not help much I got some calls going through but I’d say %80 of Calls never got through
to give some context my other phone is iPhone 12 and I never faced any signal issue with it….
both phones have sim from same carrier

The network reception in my iPhone 11 is way worse than the Exynos Note 20 Ultra(model: SM-N986B, by far the best network reception in any smartphone I ever used, comes with Exynos modem 5123).
Not having the iP12 yet, I am curious whether Apple with the A14 Bionic(SD X55 modem) improved or not in this regard this time around..
