I do suggest anything that Replicant (https://replicant.us) can run on. 
I
used to have a Galaxy S3 which worked very well until the modem decided
it was time to stop working and drain my battery faster than I could 
charge
it :/

The phone you see on the image is a Nexus 5X running lineageos, which is
not FSF-endorsed, but as free as you can get on this phone. I would
recommend getting an armv7 or x86 device, because packages will be more
available than for aarch64 as with my current phone. Having some kind
of external storage is almost a necessity for containing the store (it
can be big). My phone doesn't have that, so I'm a bit limited in the 
size
of other personal files I can carry around (esp. offline maps, ebooks, 
…).
