When I shop for a new phone I look to see what is new and expensive out there now, then hunt for the last version that was supplanted. Those are usually several hundred dollars less. They're new to me and have plenty of options for updates, but don't break the bank.

LG is out of the phone business and I don't think I can pull my "last version" trick to get a good one that will be well supported if I try one last LG purchase. I suspect I'll be looking at Samsung or Google.
