Near mint condition LG G6 for $95. Good deal?

I'm in urgent need of a new phone as I currently have a Lumia 430, and Microsoft is about to end support for Windows 10 Mobile by the end of this year. 

 

And here's another problem: My budget is VERY tight and I stubbornly want good cameras as well as a fingerprint scanner so brand new phones are out of the equation. And since I'm coming from Windows platform and been using the Lumia for almost 4 years now, my eyes are accustomed of super fluid animations with virtually nonexistent input lag, which is also why I'm considering an old flagship, instead of a newer mid-range phone or perhaps a brand new phone. 

 

What can I say? Android lags!

 

In any case, as much as I love iOS, iPhones are out of question as well because the only iPhone I can find within my tight budget is the ancient iPhone 6 a.k.a the "iBend" and I don't want it, for SO many reasons!

 

So... Should I pull the trigger?

The only phone that really bent was the 6s plus...

 

But regardless, the 6 is no longer supported so I really don't blame you for saying no.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

The G6 was release in 2017. So I wouldnt expect any more updates from LG on that device. Android devices generally get maybe 1 or 2 OS upgrades during their life and then they kick them to the curb. Not sure about security patches as some vedors do those a little more long term. The Google play store and such should still work, just when new OS updates are released, dont expect to get them. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
