The problem with giving a new tip about a new smartphone.
It is hard to predict phenomena such as the LG bootloop (happened with the G3,G4,G5,V10 and the (LG) Nexus 5.
The V20 and G6 might have a bootloop too, I stopped following.
With the V20 there is also an intentional deffect with the camera's design, making in intended, not just prone to shatter.
I guess my advise is avoid LG and Samsung, despite I am quite fond of my G3, but I was very protective of it from the start.
I think Xiaomi (RedMi Note something I believe) has good return on the money, because I heard quite a lot of people close to where I am bought it and they are all satisfied with no complaints.

If it is still too expensive for you, since it is Xiaomi's flag device, which costs less than a Samsung or Apple, but still have quite flag specifications, then I have no advise for you, since my interest in smartphones decayed.
