I was looking at potential linux phones the other day, postmarketOS has ports for phones as new as fairphone 4 and OnePlus 6. They don't have any phones with decent camera support though.

Hmm, I saw the fairphone 5 on another page and the hardware support is not substantially worse.

Install page says you need fairphone.com to give you permission to unlock. :-/
