Network connectivity is barely functional, I did look into having it replaced but I was told I couldn’t since it’s appearently not a manufacturing issue.
The battery lasts maybe 2 hours of screen on time, when I commute to work I have to charge before I get on the train home. It also overheats like crazy. It gets really uncomfortable in my hands…
The camera takes awfully oversharpened images, overuses HDR and everything comes out looking like digital noise.
The fingerprint scanner is awful. It is always faster to use a pattern to unlock my device. Often it doesn’t work at all and I’ve just disabled it now cause it failing to work kept locking me out of important apps.
Bluetooth connectivity keeps failing, and other basic functions like the led flashlight go unresponsive very frequently
I also use a Pixel 6 (for at least a year, probably longer).
For me, the battery, camera, fingerprint and bluetooth work great.
The only issue I also experience is network connectivity sometimes stopping for a few seconds for no apparent reason. (I also dislike that if I enable mobile data, the phone basically completely stops scanning for wifi, and only connects to wifi if I manually connect using the wifi settings.)
My banking app works flawlessly, even without Google Play services installed.
Here’s a list of banking apps’ compatibility with GrapheneOS. (I don’t know how accurate this list is as a whole, but it’s accurate for my banking app).

did not have problems with network connectivity
battery lasts decent amount and doesnt overheat for me, you may have some kind of heavy background program running on your system
That is kind of a thing with google camera, other camera apps seem to do fine
Fingerprint scanner for me is great
I do not use bluetooth much, so i cannot really comment on this, but i haven’t had any issues with flashlight
I am jealous of your experience :') I would love to love this phone

(eta: I use GrapheneOS)
Does graphemeOS give complications with banking apps?
Last time I used a custom ROM I was locked out of online banking, which is quite the deal breaker for me…
If it isn’t I might just give that a try

Ohhh thats such a useful resource! I’ll try it on my OP5t and if it works I might switch over and get rid of Google services finally
Edit: Oh graphene is pixel devices only? Dang… Might be tok risky for me then
