Here's my personal experience, please contribute your own to let me know about your brand experiences...

 

LG, I had 3 phone failures within 1.5-2 years.  Motherboard burnout, 1 had cpu burn out, one had battery overcharge + Hard drive failure beyond repair.  This was with the v20 and g3 and g4.  No longer using LG ever again

 

Apple: 1 battery expansion failure, other are all still working but the terrible storage options make them not purchase worthy for me anymore.  

 

Samsung: all good experiences, Apps crashes as the phone becomes more obsolete over the years.  One weakening screen with burn in image.  Battery probably weakened, but I didn't notice it much.

 

Oppo?

 

Huawei??

 

Xiaomi??

 

One Plus??

 

Vivo Nex (sneaked in because Linus featured it)???

 

Motorola (low end sneak): Slow but the one still works for the most part except that it has problems processing photos

 

Google: One motherboard failure from bad soldering, phone was bricked as the motherboard cost too much to repair.  2 Still working very well with good batteries

 

Honor??

 

Other brands do not offer high technology hardware parts and so I won't be asking about them.  Please tell me about your experiences with your phone and how long it took to break ESPECIALLY if it's a question marked on the list..
