Alternative Verizon Options?

I'm currently a not-so-proud owner of the Verizon variant LG G4, since early June of 2015. 

 

Sadly to say, I'm hating it. I'm not willing to download silly ram-clearing apps. It's as if I'm obligated to wipe the phone every few months to retain it's glorious processing speeds. I'm well aware of Huawei's new Nexus 6p and have personally seen the device work on Verizon (USA) in my town. Although I am on the Edge program (allowing you to return your phone for a brand-spanking new one, one year from it's purchase date), I've decided that I want to put this phone away in a box, since I occasionally travel overseas, and buy a new unlocked phone that supports Verizon's network radio band channel... things.

After a few days of searching, still the only phone I could find was the Nexus 6p. I believe it's undoubtedly an amazing device, but I'm not too interested in its price tag.  

 

I've created a new account (because after two days I've yet to receive the password reset for my old account) to ask you guys for help on this issue. I need help finding a newer phone, like Oppo or OnePlus brands that are very capable of supporting Verizon networks.

 

Thank you!

While I appreciate ting and all its glory, I'm not quite that financially well off to support myself in that sort of way. I still have an account passed down to me that has the grandfathered unlimited data plan.

What I've learned with Verizon is that if you need to buy a phone, it has to be a Verizon branded phone. If its unlocked and supports CDMA, they will give you some crap about not being able to activate it since they don't have the MEID in their system.

It seems like a fraction of what my LG G4 would be capable under optimal conditions...

no not the 2nd generation https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/

sorry I just saw that the phone can't be used with Verizon

I see...  I might just give it a shot...

it is not capable of ruining on some networks Verizon being 1 of them.
