I broke my phone a few months ago and I hadn’t use a phone since I didn’t need it until now. I’m willing to buy one that’s around under 500$. I’m thinking of getting google pixel maybe, any recommendations?

IMO, for a balance between usability and privacy, most Android phone with the ability to unlock the bootloader and has good AOSP ROM support will be a good choice. /e/ OS seems like a good un-Googled choice for most phones, unless you have a Pixel:
Pixel with GrapheneOS will be more security focused and is generally considered the best choice security wise among new Android phones. Caveat is that Graphene takes a fair chunk of your performance and trades it for software hardening, and more importantly, you’re giving money straight to Google.
Other options include pure Linux phones, like the Pinephone or the Librem, but those are effectively still in alpha, so expect little in the way of app choices and an unstable OS.
