Having a FP4 myself, I do suspect it’s significantly slower than alternatives at similar prices - not a problem for most uses, only things that would actually stress the CPU, but it could bother some people.
I have fp4 with eOS and love it. Quick, responsive, camera as good or better than any other camera I’ve owned, and great privacy options. And all open source, but you still have access to Google play store via the App Lounge (microG). Battery life is amazing with all the tracker blocking and privacy features - I only charge to 80% each night and still have 20-30% by day’s end. And yes, I’m in US on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile network) - no problems.
Definitely not noticeably slow. It feels just as fast as my Pixel 8 Pro and it might even feel snappier. I’m sure that CPU-heavy tasks like image editing ops would be slower but the general performance feels great so far.

Is it noticeably slow?
I bought the FP4 a year or so ago, and I couldn’t tolerate how slow everything was on it
Also, does it work with US cell networks?
I don’t have any problems with the FP4.
