I can’t believe I might go to Linux.
What are phone options?
You can go with a degoogled phone. Basic Android with Google services tracking you. Or a pine phone, which is nit a full replacement yet

Landline!
And dumb phones
People who really care send encrypted messages hidden in needlepoint pieces.
I think fairphone has support for a foss os out of the box, other brands will take some more work and jailbreaking to get it working.

LineageOS don’t bother with any other phone OSes
It’s unfortunate that until PostMarketOS gets better support for phones like OnePlus 6, you really only have the original PinePhone. The PinePhone shares it’s GPU with the Galaxy S2 (released 12 years ago). However, that OnePlus 6 support really is coming along. I still use my OnePlus7 as a bedside multimedia device and it works just fine.
Do you use PostMarketOS?
No, I don’t. Maybe in the future. I don’t have the patience for this stuff like I did in the HTC Dream/ G1 era.
So how does that work with say the pixel camera software?
