FWIW Xiaomi and Huawei phones still run android and come with google services installed by default. You have to install a custom OS to avoid that IIRC.
If you want to avoid Google then Huawei is the way to go. Xiaomis generally are Google app compatible out of the box, you just have to go one extra step and install them.
Huaweis, on the other hand, you have to go through all sorts of steps just to get Google play store installed and working, which I think says a lot about how devoid of google shit they are.
