Depends on the phone. Bought a Pixel 3a to use after I lost my Pixel 2 in a car accident. The 3a picks up way less than the 2. But honestly, using my Google Home is super pleasant.

"Hey Google, turn on the lights"

"Hey Google, good night" -> reads me my agenda, asks me for an alarm time

Wake up, walk to the bathroom, "Hey Google, play the Economist podcast" while I brush my teeth. "Hey google, shuffle my thumbs up playlist" as I walk to the shower.

"Hey Google, set a timer for x seconds" while I'm cooking.

Fantastic tool.
