This whole 5G thing confuses the crap out of me so I was pretty pleased to come across this Help Center article with ALL the details: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009
Easy to figure out. Translation: If you think you're going to get 5G on this phone, you're in serious delusion. Why? Because although we put the hardware in the phone for it? It ain't available, loser! THE JOKE'S ON YOU! HAHAHA! You paid for a radio that can't pick up a thing. It would be like owning a cellphone in the 1850s. All the hardware, but none of the signal! (Too much?)
I'm putting 5G up there with all the other great 5's ... Star Trek V Rocky V Rambo V Indiana Jones and the dungeon of Boredom (5) Star Wars Episode 5 (or 2 ... or 96, depending on your familiarity with the force)
That sub-6 5G is actually pretty widespread, but its speeds are pretty comparable with that of 4G. Need mmWave 5G to get the bonkers speeds, and that for sure isn't available much of anywhere.
