New phone

[Snifferdog3]

Hello! I've had a LG G3 for awhile now and it's been nothing but hassle, the phone design and every thing is great! But I've had the flickering screen issue and SIM card not reading issue and now the touch doesn't work most of the time and if it does it's only for a few seconds before it stops detecting my touch! So I'm looking for a used phone, don't want to pay any more than £120, I've seen a few options, my favourite so far is the LG G4 but do I dare risk it? I don't want to waste another £100! Another option is the Samsung s5 or s6 but the s6 doesnt have a very big battery (2550mAH on a 1440x2560 screen!? That will be worse than my LG G3!) and I would prefer a 5.5" screen but I could manage with a 5.1". What do you guys think? Any suggestions etc? Thanks for your time!

I don't recommend a G4 in 2018, the bootloop issues were the downfall of it. It is a nice upgrade from the G3 in that regard, but it's fallen from grace quite a bit.

 

As for something like a Samsung S6 (or even an S7) regarding their screens, I'm sure there's an option to change the screen resolution in settings down to 1080p or even 720p, at least this is the case for my S8. I run my S8 on 1440p and I easily get 5-6 SoT anyway so it's no concern.

 

OnePlus 3 could also be a consideration if you can get your hands on one for that price bracket, it's near-enough stock Android so will be snappy, and has a 1080 5.5" display, as well as a 3000mAh battery.

Add a bit more maybe and get Xiaomi S2? That's what I would recommend. Has octa-core instead of hexa-core and runs on Android Oreo instead of LG G4's older version of android, better GPU & has dual camera.
