I just went through this a few weeks ago. From what I can tell, the best available options are Google Pixel, or those open source pinephones with hardware that was obsolete ten years ago.

I got a pixel 8. I'm currently running graphene, but it's definitely not for me so I'll be switching to lineage soon

You should check out /e/OS https://e.foundation/e-os/

It's a de-googled LineageOS fork with a focus on usability.

What didn't you like about Graphene? And hope to see in Lineage?

For me the dealbreaker on Graphene was inability to record my phone conversations. I went back to Lineage.

  GrapheneOS can record phone calls just fine, there is a record button in the dialer.

  I can confirm this, and will add: on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, I have to scroll down the "6 pack" of buttons on the in-call screen to reveal the record call button. There is no UI hint that these buttons are within a scrollable element, so discoverability is poor.

What is obsolete about them? They will receive updates forever, and are quite snappy when using a good OS (e.g. SXMo).
