I recently asked for recommendations elsewhere regarding a cost-effective phone with the best camera that's a reasonable price. Almost unanimous recommendations for a Pixel a couple years old. I'm a total noob for privacy stuff but joining Lemmy under the dbzer0 instance, I'm feeling more motivated to learn more and get out from under the thumb of major corps as much as possible.

Can you have a Pixel and still de-google? It seems unlikely... Any advice?

There are some good recommendations already here. I'll just add that iodéOS has support for many older and cheaper models, including phones from Samsung, Sony, OnePlus and Xiaomi. I believe CalyxOS also has support for some cheap Xiaomi models. If there's a particular phone you like then check if there is a LineageOS build available for it before you give up and go for a boring Pixel.
