If you still want to use android, consider using Replicant OS, which is developed by GNU and the FSF. It's Android with all the Goolag crap stripped out.
I am personally rooting for Pure OS from Purism for their Librem 5 GNU/Linux phone that comes with killswitches for bluetooth, cellular, wifi, camera, microphone and GPS. Or you could go with the Pinephone which also has killswitches, but are harder to access. You also have to install your own OS for a pinephone.

Those options seem superior to an android phone.
