You have a bit of choice:-

Linux based:-

Pinephone, (will allow you to run a choice of different Linux based offerings)

Sailfish - https://sailfishos.org/  with offerings from Jolla - https://shop.jolla.com/

Volla - https://volla.online/en/index.html


Then there's the android based things but without the google spyware/malware:-

Lineage - https://lineageos.org/  - this is very much a case of rolling your own

/e/ or Murena - https://e.foundation/  - very polished, competent and stable build that leaves you in charge - uses Micro-G service for the apps, but pretty much what you need will be good to go right out of the box.  Wide range of hardware compatibility. Free cloud services offering too which is based on Nextcloud.

Graphene OS - https://grapheneos.org/ - a miliary-grade 'droid right out of the box that also leaves you in charge. Doggedly reliable, only runs on Pixel hardware.

AFAIK you have precisely one vendor option that will fit your
requirements, a PinePhone.
