Your smartphone cannot be considered a private device. You as the owner don’t have sufficient control over its operating system and applications to ever make that claim.

In theory you have the likes of the PinePhone where you can run a full Linux kernel [1]. You could then use something like Waydroid to run Android apps [2].

I think the biggest concern is that many of the important apps are anti-emulation, for example banking apps and authentication apps.
