you can unsolder the mikes from the SoC with a little bit of work, or have it done for you at a local shop phone shop. https://degoogled.es does it for 40€ extra, if you don’t mind waiting, they are slow.

I think the idea is that a non-smartphone = more security because it has less ways to be penetrated. However, I think going with a non-smartphone isn’t a good idea when there is SMS encryption, Netguard on Android’s Play Store…
I spent a lot of time on their site and the best thing I could was this device:
“DeGoogled Pixel 7a, 128 GB, 8 GB RAM, 6.1 " OLED Full HD +, Tensor G2, 4,385 mAh. As it is a new device, it comes with a 2-year warranty.”
The site doesn’t seem very professional? You’re better off just finding a clear manual and installing it yourself.
yes but wouldn’t say it’s secure nor probably, private. It is also just a samsung A series phone (likely A16) with marked up price
I agree — the Light Phone 3 does look promising, especially if you want a distraction-free, minimalist phone. Light Phone 3
Yah, with specs so light (no pun intended) it’s a lot of money to pay!
Light on specs but heavy on price?
