And the winner is ...

Murena Fairephone 6 /e/os 

I had a hard look at e-ink "dumbphone" devices but finally Murena/Fairphone won me over.

Murena is a French company that among other things, combines e/os (a French fork of LineageOS) and the Dutch Fairphone.

It's not cheap: 599€. But I think of it like a car "investment". Murena garanties updates until 2033, and the repairability is 10/10, so along with the micro ssd slot it's longevity is the best in the market.

It's a solution that is not only de-Googled but also European. I'm sorry American friends but your country's political choices have made everyone actively seek alternatives to American solutions. It will take time, but it's inexorable. To put it crudely, you have crapped and walked in it, there's no going back.
