In addition to Fairphone and Shiftphone, there is also Volla Phone.
Their self description: "Volla Systeme is an independent, German manufacturer of smartphones, optionally with its own Android operating system Volla OS or the mobile Linux distribution Ubuntu Touch. Volla OS is characterized by uncompromising data protection and a uniquely intelligent operating concept."
Volla sells rebranded Gigaset with custom operating systems (Ubuntu Touch/VollaOS (degoogled android)). They don't manufacture themselves.
I never heard of them before and just looked around for a bit but I couldn't find any reviews of their current phones so far. If anybody has more information or wants to share personal experiences, I'd be interested.
At gnulinux.ch there were some articles / reviews about Volla (but in German): https://gnulinux.ch/artikelindex?search=Volla
In the comments of these articles you can also find some experience reports.
