You don’t need a different device, just root it and unlock the bootloader to disable the AI stuff..

I do not want this on my device at all. What are my options for my next phone that will replace my aging pixel 6 that won’t include Gemini?

Or install an alternative ROM that doesn’t ship with the AI stuff.

A Fairphone with /e/OS would do.
I don't currently run /e/OS on mine - for now I've just disabled the Google app instead. But it's a solid option, and last time I used it my banking apps and everything worked with no problem.

a newer Pixel phone with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS installed on it.

If I could keep the good camera with Graphene, I’d be set.

You can still install the Google camera app alongside the GrapheneOS camera app. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.…

you should be able to change the camera app launched when double pressing the power button.

The camera app is just called Google camera on the play store. It works on Calyx with no internet permission so I assume it works on graphene.

I use Google’s camera app on GrapheneOS. Have been for years. No problems at all, though I wish the camera app included with GrapheneOS wasn’t so annoying to use by comparison
