Oh shit, is there a similar phone I can get?
Redmi Note 4 or 4X. Check band for your Country/Mobile provider.

Does it have a good camera though? I don't trust yt shills.

not really, but the price/performance is as good as your going to get unless you buy used

That's a shame, I was interested in LG G4 because of it's camera.

Lenovo T60
No, get a moto g3
Get an LG V20

Avoid at all costs, 808 overheats and throttles, and bootloops are unavoidable since the cause was faulty manufacturing process
Nothing wrong with the G4, or the V10 for that matter (the V10 has the same hardware, same camera, but adds manual video recording and better mics with more control/gain and of course that second screen which can be useful at times.
As for the bootloop issue, not all of them have done it, but all of them might over time depending on usage. The defect was bad solder on the assembly line, it's not a defect that's part of the Snapdragon 808 itself but instead how it was mounted to the motherboard when LG put the components together.
If you decide to get a G4 or V10 register it at LG's website and say you bought it from a carrier (based on the model you buy, the T-Mobile variant is the best in the US to get because of the unlockable bootloader for both the G4 and V10) earlier this year, say maybe Feb or Mar 2017 (they don't care, really) and you'll have warranty service through 2018 to a large degree.
G4 has a lot of development, official Lineage build, etc but the V10 has almost nothing sadly. I just got a V10 in near-mint condition and I'm still disappointed in how there's almost nothing in terms of custom development, no custom ROMs, no Lineage builds, not even non-official ones, just nothing at all.
Pretty fucked up because it's a great device, especially the camera and that camera sensor assembly still takes the best pics I've ever seen from a smartphone.

Can confirm that there are plenty of good ones out there.
I've had my G4 for over two years and never once had a problem with it in any way.
Only issue is the locked bootloader verizon bullshit so it will be stuck with stock rom no root for eternity.
