This article fails to mention GrapheneOS.

The article starts with Murena, Punkt, Volla which are all based on Android. If you do this, then imho you must mention GrapheneOS, the by far better option (updates, privacy, security, organisation).

Google Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best non-Google phone... ;-)

GrapheneOS doesn't fit the criteria of the list.

As much as I like graphene it is literary running on google hardware (atm) and uses asop. Even if it is a really good option is you want to run degoogled and secure android.

GrapheneOS requires a Google Pixel (currently) though. That's why they omitted it I imagine

I’m waiting to see what they come up with for the Motorola partnership. Hopefully it’s interesting.

GrapheneOS is a Google OS - it's a slightly modified Android developed by Google and continues to be dependent on Google for updates.

(Murena /e/OS is similar. No, slamming the downvote button won't make either of them any less Google dependant OSes.)

From Wikipedia: "GrapheneOS[b] (/ˈɡræfiːn.oʊˈɛs/) is a free and open-source, privacy- and security-focused, Android-based operating system"

So still Android.
