The problem with that is that pretty much only Graphene can offer a secure (locked boot loader) phone that is also private.
Edit: Some Phones like the Fairphone or Shift can still be locked.
I like Calyx quite a bit. It’s considerably more private than any stock Android out there. However, from my perspective, GrapheneOS is the best mobile os out there for security and privacy too, hands down.
I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 Pro, tried Calyx back when I had the 6 Pro, and it pretty good and everything basically works, but GrapheneOS from the beginning is so vanilla, only has a couple of apps installed (phone, sms, Calc, files and such), everything else you need to choose to install.

CalyxOS also allows to relock bootloader on some devices (not sure if only Pixels though).
