Google Pixel 8a - user opinions and reviews

I am using pixel 6a.i wanted to upgrade but I doi't find any difference between these two devices.

Other devices for alternative OSes are Motorola, Sony and Xiaomi. But I would prefer Google and Fairphone.

What's the alternative with LineageOS support? Is there any decent current device besides Pixels / Fairphone?
