Hi, I am considering a new phone and my question is regarding the device choice 
I would like to invest in a smartphone with good working /e/ os (Murena?) which has also a removable battery. Can you advice accordingly on your experience please?

This will depend on the region you are in.
Which smartphones are on offer once you set your country and language at https://esolutions.shop?
There is a feature In the official supported list, ( thanks to @Manoj ) : you can select “removable battery” to only display devices with removable battery
https://doc.e.foundation/devices
They are the two FairPhone and Essentially some LG and some Samsung devices. Also a “BQ”, a “Motorola”, a “Wileyfox”, and a “Wingtech”
Cannot advice for unofficial supported list as it is rarely specified in the documentation.
I like the Galaxy s4 because it is also easily repairable and afordable ( between 40€ and 70€ ), great display quality even is the size ( 5" ) is limit to big compared to normal fingers size.

Mind the /e/OS version given in the list, though. Assuming you want to use your phone with /e/OS for a while, everything in the list not being at least on Q beta (which is Android 10, R would be 11, Pie would be 9, Oreo would be 8, Nougat would be 7) seems not very future-proof OS-wise.
If you want a really recent phone in Europe, /e/OS for the Fairphone 4 should become available soon-ish.

That is true. Android below 10 does not seem to be long lasting for the phone. I liked Samsung Galaxy 3 and 4, Fairphone as well, but Faiephone 3, I do not need 5G, and visually Fairphone 3 is nicer. Samsung Galaxy 3 and 4 have wonderful handy size 
Now I am using tablet size Redmi Note 7 with /e/ on board After experiencing this system on myself I thought about finding nicer phone for it 
I am in Poland, what makes Teracube unavailable unfortunately
