Fairphone, they have instructions even on their site on how to flag your phone with different OS's. Think it's just been released in the states too. Android AOSP, Lineage, Ubuntu Touch, eOS to name a few.
I considered buying the fairphone and the pixel 7. Unfortunately, the former was not available in my country and the latter had no service centers in my region.
Then I got a good deal on a samsung galaxy s23 and bought it. Now I'm stuck with not being able to tinker with anything.
Samsung is probably the worst offender in that regard. No bootloader unlock on Snapdragon, bootloader unlock trips Knox on Exynos and disables basic features like the camera on Z Fold 3.
