  There is /e/ OS - https://e.foundation - which also offers their second version of the Murena phone that comes pre-installed with the OS - https://murena.com They also sell other phones pre-installed or you can install it yourself. Disclaimer: I haven't used it yet but trying to find some time to install it on my Pixel 4a. Otherwise Fairphone is fairly open.
