From what I read the two most promising distros are postmarket and ubuntu touch.
Do you have any other distros in mind?
Here is a good list of which distros are actively being developed for

Thats pretty cool! Thanks! I wish it were updated more frequently though. 3 years is forever in tech.
@haui_lemmy @Beaver Droidian is a very good option. You have several devices that are fully functional with Droidian. I use a Redmi Note 9 Pro and the battery lasts all day with medium-high use
Wow! I didnt know this one. This tells me that there are not enough people making content about this stuff! :) thanks for mentioning it.
I have heard about Mobian,Plasma Mobile, Sailfish, openSUSE.
I think plasma mobile is a desktop environment, not a distro. Sailfish is proprietary from what I read here. The other two are a little less usable if you dont have the exact phone they support according to this
