To be honest, it really depends on how well the device is supported by the developer.
Like on some ROM, it was significantly better than OEM (debloated), but still couldn't make 3 days, while less supported device gets worse battery life due to something not working correctly or due to some OEM secret on saving battery hasn't been unrevealed.

I don't use "social" media, I don't stream DRM'd content, neither I play games. Also lack of GPlay services running 24/7 in background makes fairly big difference.
But yeah, otherwise it likely won't survive that long on one charge...

A few years ago I've had the Pixel 6a and 7a. I was pleasantly surprised with their decent cameras, decent performance, decent speakers and commendable battery life.
I currently have the Xiaomi 13T. It's showing it's age and i'm thinking of going back to a Pixel.
For more better camera system (for everyday photos - city or during holiday), better performance (faster & more snappier), better speakers (a bit more clarity and loudness) slightly better display (better HBM/peak brightness, more sharper) & glass protection should i go for the Pixel 8a or upgrade straight to a Pixel 8?

my personal phone. very reliable, compact form factor for nowadays, better processor, good colors, good price, good amount of ram. only issues are the chin the very little storage options and the insane amount of glitches.

So far the smallest (But still too big...) current phone on which custom ROM can be easily installed on. And a pretty good phone, honestly...
Good computing power that easily gets along with Android obesity, battery last 'bout 3 days of my use (I mainly call, text, take photos and sometimes browse internet) and suprisingly, aside from crappy focusing (which is a problem number one since ever in majority of phones), good camera. For me 128GB is a overkill (Usage under 14GB incl. Android) as I merely use "basic" features and move photos/videos regularly to my own archive solution. No 3.5mm jack as a solid minus, tho.
And the phone itself is stout 'n' sturdy, equipped with thicker case "feels sure" in hand.
Software-wise, eh... Android is Android, but like there were any alternatives (And no, iOS is not a option as it's completely locked-down walled garden)...
However, as said before, at least custom ROM can be installed (And stock ROM is easily obtainable, so it can be easily restored to factory setup in case of something going wrong). Currently runnin' LineageOS 21, with GPlay-only soft installed via Aurora. It's still "that" Android, far from perfection, but at least bit better.
It's ironic though that [one of] best phone for de-Googled Android is a Google phone, but that's how the world we live in looks alike...

Adel J, 28 Oct 2024This one. P8 feels cheap in the hand.I think you wanted to say that 8a feels cheap, but I don't belive you because I tested them both and 8a is nicer in hand and not as slippery.
