So I need to get a new phone since my current one is a bit of a paper weight since I dropped it screen first. That's a BLU Studio 5 C HD had it for about 2 years, so I like the LG V20 but not the price and the LG V10 looks just as good but at a price I can afford... Is it still worth its salt ? or should I look to buy another phone ? If so what do you suggest ?

V10 is still an awesome phone. Will last another 2 years as smartphone tech has hit a bit of a stalemate recently.

I remember reading that they were supposed to get it along with some other LG phones late last year when the V20 launched

My sister had a V10, it was a pile of SHIT. She had network connectivity issues and charging issues with the device. She even got a replacement and the same thing happen. I would strongly suggest staying far away from the V10. Might I suggest the OnePlus 3t. Ive only had a a short time, but I love the phone. 

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