For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

I just tried a Pixel 8 for a few days after years of using a Pixel 6 - it is legitimately a worse phone. Even with its higher frame rate screen (which is considerably smaller), all the phones animations look like garbage because the CPU struggles to keep up. I found some menus that I tested side by side on the pixel 6 and 8.. the 6's reaction was instant and smooth, while the 8 took about half a second to register that it had been touched, after which the menu's animation was glitchy. My wife tested one too, and was having issues getting her fingerprints to save.
Is there even an option for a decent modern android phone that doesn't have bloatware (i.e.. Samsung)? I was hoping the pixel would be acceptable so I could use Graphene OS, but it doesn't look like that is going to be happening. Is there another device that works well with Lineage or something similar that would be a decent alternative to a Pixel with Graphene?
