How much data is shared by the phone/OS itself vs applications you install? maybe buy a Pixel, disable as much unwanted features as you can and DON'T install unnecessary apps?

I would like to remove my dependency from Google, then Pixel is not the best solution.

Depends how willing you are to tinker. You could get Graphene/CalyxOS on a Pixel and move as far away from Google as you like, at your own (in)convenience.
