Huawei is out of the picture because it doesn't have Google services anymore so your only choice will be Xiaomi.

The Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro has snapdragon 865 processor, an IR blaster, headphone jack but no micro sd expansion. It's much cheaper than LG's newest V60 flagship but still records 8K videos and best of all, it's a beautiful all screen display with no notch or punch hole for just $500 (128GB) or $600 (256GB). It doesn't have FM radio though like the international model LG V60.

I can say tha... moreI still have two of these phones (V20) that work perfectly except that the software and security patch are no longer up-to-date. They're the record holder for the longest living phones I've owned due to removable batteries and long-lived IPS display. They're no longer my main phone because the security patches are outdated. However, if you don't do any banking transactions on your phone, these will be reliable for years to come. I see them outliving my newer phones. I have learned to make peace with the fact and accept the reality I can't change that ALL phone manufacturers nowadays will force users to upgrade to new phones every year or two by intentionally removing features (replaceable batteries, longer lived IPS displays, micro sd expansion) and software support that would have made phones perfectly usable for 5-6 years like desktop PC's.

        I have been using this phone since May 2017 . I can say that it is the most durable and reliable phone i have ever used. In the past 3 yrs , i can hardly recall the phone freezing or crashing . The screen is still intact ( not cracked or broken) despite several drops , even though i use a book case cover and no screen cover.The only thing that sucks is the camera in auto mode.I have had to replace the battery last year with one i bought on Amazon for under $30. I can see this phone lasting many more years, as long as i can just pop in replacement batteries. Infact i have decided to go in for the latest lg v series when and if it finally dies, hoping i will get same value.

                    That's right. Good phone, using two devices at same time, LG G4 as second phone. Still LG G4 is my favourite smartphone.

                    LG G4 H815, S/N:603 using 7.0 Nougat OS on it - amazing main 1.8 aperture camera, colors in on photos are more realistic and natural than V20 camera has. LG G4 taking sharper photos and more detailed when zooming. Selfie camera has 2.0 aperture, which is also very good.
                    Design of the G4 is perfect, best grip to hold and feel kinesthetically in the hand due to leather back cover. Also decent LCD Display with 2K resolution.
                    That's right, their slogan - "See the great, feel the great."
                    Main disadvantage is battery life, it should be better at least with 5 hours screen on time. I have 3-3.5 screen on time mostly, using maximally with battery saving tricks and possibilities. I always have in the pocket one charged removable battery, which is very practical to use this phone. Switching the battery and power on 100% below one minute - it's a practical way to use smartphone. To avoid screen retention, it's needed to use sfilter (Using on V20 also) or any other application - anyway it's better for eyes. There is ability to install wireless charger for G4, but it's not the main thing what I need from smartphone.

                    LG V20 is good alternative for LG G4 cause of option to switch batteries and use good camera. Wide-angle camera is interesting feature but nothing special for me personally. Using OS android 9.0 pie, ordered Korean version F800S for 80 € from AliExpress. V20 is a little snappier than G4, but the difference is minimal. Always using Nova Launcher on both, greenify also, swiping down by the finger - closes and hibernates all the unnecessary processes and system processes what I managed to restrict due their useless and screen shutting down also - this trick saves battery life. I'm not paying games on both devices so hopefully I avoid G4 bootlooping in that way of not overheating CPU.

                    At all G4 has a charm and unique design with outstanding user experience from the 2016. For that period this phone was innovative by camera and 2K display. I Hope LG Will remake this version with metallic design.
                    In my opinion there are no better smartphones than LG. I'm not business man and I do not have maximum security features and security patches for Android to avoid stealing money from my device using internet payments. Just need to know how to use device
                    and applications carefully and risks will be minimal.

                    Greetings from Estonia.

                          Love how this almost 4 year old V series phone has the same type of storage as the V60 and a higher res display, and pretty much exact same camera setup. (like by that I mean, wide, ultrawide)

Dropped my V20 several times on tiled floors around 4-5ft but it always survives without the screen or tempered glass cracking. It has a soft jelly case though that protrudes higher than the screen in addition to tempered glass so that must have cushioned it for drops with screen facing downward.

                                        I shattered my screen after accidentally dropped it from 30-50cm height when on a call. Didn't expect that.
