Stock Android has so many additional components (assistant for example) compared with GrapheneOS.
Pixel as many have suggested. In addition to being able to take any of the popular ROMs, most of the apps on the stock ROM can be disabled.
For example:
Google Pixel with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.
I'm not giving Google any money.
How do you feel about buying used or refurbished? Genuinely curious since I often see people with this stance
Some of the Nokia lineup and many of the xiaomi phones are able to install custom roms very easily
Any Motorola phone with unlockable bootloader (most if not all), with official LineageOS support. You get a very very basic set of base apps meant for functions like the camera, calculator, music, gallery, files; apps that effrctively are used by other apps for core functions.
