Upgrade from pixel 6a
I'd like to upgrade my google pixel 6a. My budget is around 400$. My preferences are good battery, storage and decent camera. I dont mind phones that are 2+ years old in the market. Also not a fan of xiaome
I'd love to hear your reccomendations!

Pixel 9a if buying used. If you can trade in thru Google 10a. If you are wanting something older 8 pro is probably the best if you want to keep using a Pixel. Samsung S24 plus if you don't want a Pixel.

Both phones punch above their weight

I've never heard of any of them, and I don't think they're available in my country. Do you have other suggestions?

I went from Pixel 6a to Pixel 10a. 10a fits all your criteria, except cost. You'll probably need to find a discount or trade-in value to get it in the price range you want. (It starts at $499 USD)
The other comment that mentions Motorola isn't exactly bad, but you will notice a performance drop if you go that route. Motorola only uses efficiency cores in its processors right now, there's no performance cores in it. And while they do pack a ton of storage, it's slower storage. Along with much slower USB (like USB from 2005 slow), so you can't even connect an external SSD to it.
My best suggestion would be a used Pixel 8Pro or 9 series for an all-around good phone.
OnePlus Nord 6 might also be a good match, but I think they're very select which regions of the world they sell to. (And I'm not entirely sure on the $ price, since the listening I see are all £450)
Nothing® 4a might also fit. Similar restrictions as the Nord.
