Wanted: A phone and SMS device that easily syncs photos, messages and contacts and has an excellent camera (iPhone or Pixel hobbyist level). No apps, spyware, built-in Google ties. Just shoot photos and be in touch when needed. Kickstarter, anyone? I tried the Light Phone II. It is okay, but missing a camera was too much of a hurdle.

What about an iPhone with no apps on it? (not trying to be snarky, but it seems like it does the things you want).

For that price one can buy maybe five Android phones (with comparable or better hardware). Then install Lineage. Or maybe more than five.
