How is the actual phone (not computing device) hardware on the Pixel?

The last time I had a Google phone was the 2012 Nexus, and I said never again. It had absolutely trash speakers and microphone. I couldn't be talking to someone when it was windy, I couldn't hear them. And when I tried recording a video at a sports stadium, the audio was completely distorted from the noise because the mic couldn't keep up with the noise.

Is the Pixel a good choice for people who spend the majority of their time on the road and not in a quiet office or home?
