Oh right. You had mentioned before, I think, that you have a Pixel. And that's Google-branded.
Here's an article published perhaps a few days after Sean Barbeau's speculation about geo-fencing which says the FCC approved Galileo signals in the US, but it would take a while for device firmware to catch up:

My device is on the list supposedly capable of receiving Galileo positioning signals, and its software is up-to-date. No Galileo.
