This indeed seems to be a problem. Attached a picture of the FxTec and a Mi 10 Lite (lower midrange std Android phone) side by side and their GPS reception. As you can see the FxTec has significantly worse reception which also resulted in a much worse time till a fix was made in airplane mode. (within a second vs 10s of seconds with near perfect conditions)
FxTec to the Right

For cellular it also seems to be true. Attached an image of the same two phones with SIM Cards in identical networks. The FxTec is slightly worse with -93dBm vs -91dBm, if touched it goes to -99, the other phone is not much impacted by touch. A good old Nokia beats both of them easily in the GSM network.

In urban Areas it should make little difference, but I wouldn't rely on it in the mountains.
