Well I have completely degoogled mine [1], but it comes with problems like reversing banking application as it uses safetynet. Luckily I am quite profound at that.
Bottom line, it is doable, but I want a working linux phone, where camera and calls/sms/mms work and I dont use any newage communication software, so I dont care. Again, this is completely my use case as I practically consider the phone applications as mostly useless, dont play games and prefer paying in cash.
I hoped Cosmo Communicator[2] would be it but they didn't support the camera and since I am using it for taking notes, it is vital for me. Actually I even went into making degoogled rom for CC but I got stuck at selinux blatantly abused to prevent modifications and maybe some day I will recompile the kernel to kick it out or find time to reverse and binary patch the selinux checking.
Actually PinePhone is becoming more and more interesting option but they should really pump up the specs, again, at least for camera. The second possibility would be sailfish os [3] but again it has some closed source blobs.
