Basically I am also in the same boat. 🙂 However, also doing some embedded (Linux) work and also some higher-lever thing in connection with Linux.
It is an interesting question... Pro1's reception is not the best but also not the worst.
As they had to redesign antenna system for Pro1-X, it may happen they could fine-tune them better than on Pro1 anyway.
So one part is the service provider's network and another one is slightly worse reception on the phone.
Anyway, I have not noticed differences in reception compared to my Motorola G6 phone, so that is not that bad but it may hap
