It's worth noting that eMMC, which is the used as the "hard drive" of most smartphones, evolved from what was originally a removable media format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiMediaCard

I suspect it's possible to design a phone which entirely uses removable storage, but beyond devboard-like systems, I'm not aware of any.

I'm working on a phone which can be configured to dump the memory if someone fails to unlock it properly, keeping only a dummy profile.

There is also a way to restore the deleted info from a backup server once you have the phone back.
