It’s a known fact that Google disables 5G on countries where Pixel is non listed. They should work, since other brands don’t have any trouble with it (I guess bands are standardised throughout Europe).

I live in Denmark and have multiple friends with Google/Pixel phones that work perfectly, fwiw.
When I tried to purchase one people in reviews said Google disabled 5G on it.
Google has an interactive guide for checking 5G compatibility in all countries where Pixel is available. As far as I can tell, all 4 major Danish carriers support Sub-6 5G required by Pixel phones, so there should be no problem.
Maybe other countries have issues with Sub-6, and people made up some BS about Google “disabling 5G”? Where are you located?

I wanted to buy the phone in Amazon, and in the comments there were people warning regarding the 5G situation. Google disable it in the software.
Edit: Checking that guide it should work, a year have passed so maybe they stopped doing that bullshit.
