I will continue buying refurbished LG V35s until they either become impossible to find, or carriers stop supporting 4G LTE.

Not that I've needed to buy a refurbished LG V35 yet- it's going on 3.5 years without missing a beat. The only bloatware was LG's personal fitness app, and a handful of carrier stuff that was easily uninstalled or disabled.

My old V20 was similarly durable, besides OLED burn-in after about 3 years. I still keep it by my desk in case I need to use Find My Device.

Battery life is very good, minimal bloatware, good display, adequate camera, wireless charging, headphone jack, noticeably superior audio chipset (which is great for my big headphones), fits in my hand, snappy UI responses, fast charging support, new enough OS to support all the apps I use.

It is still more than enough phone for me, 4 years after it was released. It's showing no signs of slowing down, either.
