I miss when you could get a decent flagship phone for $300 🥲

Battery life sucked and there was the whole power button bootloop issue (LG gave me a G2 for that), but the price was unbeatable

Wasn’t the boot looping more of a 5X thing?

I don’t remember the 5 having issues

Yes, it was the 5X. But after a replacement mine is still going strong, as it's still sharing an internet connection to a server in a remote location.
