This really depends on what you prefer. I've used Moto phones before and Moto gestures are a great addition. Motorola also keeps the UI clean, where even the Pixels have non removable UI elements on the home screen such as the Google search bar and at a glance widget. Though camera wise, pixels are the way to go for the price segment. But the pixel 8a is just not worth the $500 price tag at least in the US.
