>And having them serviced by Apple is going to cost you dearly - a replacement costs between $350 and $500 if you don’t have Apple Care.
Basically, they ask a price of your phone (used device is less likely to be sold for more than half of it's original price), to repair your phone.

The best phone overall when it comes to durability and repairability is the OnePlus 5t.
It's not as sturdy as the LG G6.
It's not as repairable as the Pixel2.
...but its close to the rigidity of the LG G6, without a rear shattering glass back. And its decent in terms of repair, but would need less of it due to the Pixel2's glass half-back, squeeze sides, discolouration, and QC issues. The only thing holding the OnePlus from getting a CLEAR VICTORY is the fact that it is not IP-rated for ingress protection like the examples above. However, it does have some splash/ingress resistance but not a full-proofing.
It's better than the Nokia 6 in the fact that the metal is more scratch-resistant, one of the off-putting sides of a metal phone. It also has some ingress resistance, has an easier to replace battery, and the vibration motor is separately glued to the body. And overall it has higher-end components squeezed a bit more densely than the Nokia 6. Where the Nokia 6 one-ups the OnePlus 5t is when it comes to the metal mid-frame, which I think is a phenomenal idea to increase rigidity and isolate the screen for repair purposes.
I say this as someone who hasn't bought the OnePlus 5t, so I have nothing to gain. I'd like to use the LG G6 is the nude, but the back is very susceptible to breaking... even though the LG G6 has the best hardness and rigidity of any smartphone which has a glass back. Glass is still glass, and glass is fragile.

sadh, 05 Jan 2018Sadly the battery is still 3000Mah the dolby stereo speaker... moreWell, SD630 is very power efficient, and Android Oreo (with the help of Sony) brings great standby time, so that 3000mAh battery should be more than enough to give a great endurance rating.
Dolby Atmos speakers are gone? Oh that’s sad. I hope they would put something better maybe.

Zoom cameras
Curved screens
Wireless charge
These are functional and useful additions to phones:
Edge Sense
Iris Scanner
Dash charge
Even if a feature is a selling point of a phone doesn't make it a gimmick. A gimmick adds no functional use. Edge sense is functional. Therefore Edge sense is not a gimmick.

Besides, we all need to sell out for a quick cash. Only a prepared handful can survive without a bit of sponsorship. The rest cannot.

I think the Nokia 6 should also be part of the most repairable phones, since it's has similar construction to pixel 2.
Nokia 6 being the most repairable and durable phone as per Zack and it topping the most liked, popular lists in GSMArena are going to boost the reception of Nokia 6 2018.
