A Google Pixel and CalyxOS or GrapheneOS. If you don’t want to flash I guess you could buy those phones with the /e/ ROM preinstalled but not sure about the quality of the hardware

Oh okay I've heard of Calyx and Graphene. Do those OS's let you use any Google apps? The only one I still use is Google Maps
Yes, they do. They have microG installed which let's you use Google Maps. If you want to get away from Google maybe try using OsmAnd or another app using OSM though.
every phone is branded with some sort of bloatware nowadays, doesn't matter which brand/model. The only way you get away from big tech on your phone imo is by using a custom rom.
