GraphineOS, saved you a click; but it's not a phone, it's an OS that can be put on a phone.

I got a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS onto it just 3 days ago and it's an absolute charm.

The peace of mind of running a phone whose OS is FOSS out of the box is amazing as well: no need to look for open source variants to apps, nor disable telemetry, nor uninstall trash and unnecesary apps, only to find out apps like Facebook cannot be uninstalled. Basically, a non-bullshit OS, with extra privacy toggles and app sandbox.

Me too. The web usb install was a breeze. Easiest alternative ROM installation experience I've ever had.

I can't think of any phone that is Private out of the box. Your best bet is to flash a custom ROM like Graphene or Calyx.
