My aging Galaxy SIII runs LineageOS for microG, you can be google/proprietary free if you wish, or run any proprietary apps (including google) all you want, the choice is yours. https://lineage.microg.org/
No need to buy a new phone to support Google Play Services continual bloat.
Choice F-Droid apps to check out: SlimSocial for Twitter/Facebook, OsmAnd~ for maps/navigation, NewPipe for youtube, PodListen, Syncthing for file sync, Antox for p2p chat, PasswdSafe for passwords (hint sync with Syncthing)
I don't miss google apps at all.
