I recently asked for recommendations elsewhere regarding a cost-effective phone with the best camera that's a reasonable price. Almost unanimous recommendations for a Pixel a couple years old. I'm a total noob for privacy stuff but joining Lemmy under the dbzer0 instance, I'm feeling more motivated to learn more and get out from under the thumb of major corps as much as possible.

Can you have a Pixel and still de-google? It seems unlikely... Any advice?

Might not fit the de-google aspect of your search, but I love my galaxy S10 plus. Older phone, but still snappy and takes great pictures and videos.

I got mine used for like 400 bucks (CAD) before Covid, so while it may not hit the Google free aspect of your search, you'll save some $$$

The S10+ would fit their requirements, as it is supported by iodeOS.

Stock OS sucks but not a bad choice if you get your hands on one and debloat it using UAD. Used it as my work phone for a while because I got it gifted to me until I got a higher quality Lineage device.
