im going to have to be in the market for a new phone soon. what do you suggest?

ive only ever owned androids. open to anything, as long as it isn't a google phone or iOS. if you have suggestions that ARE google phones, id want it to be possible to "de-google" the phone; ive been trying to de-google for awhile, and don't plan on stopping.

my priorities are good battery life, doesn't feel like a hot coal when it's on for too long, and doesn't have a bunch of apps i can't uninstall if i don't want them there (i.e. i want to be able to uninstall the phone's calendar app if i prefer to use another app for calendar).

sick camera is a plus, but just a plain one that doesn't look super grainy is perfectly fine.

don't have a particular budget right now, just looking around. thanks in advance!
