Count me as someone who disagrees with you about the 6P being trash. Since I bought that on launch day, my wife has gone through : a G4 that burned through batteries and sometimes focused like a stoned college student, a S7 that burned though a charge even quicker, would just lose photos and had a tendency to take black selfies, a Note 7..... A S7 Edge that, well, see S7 but with a better battery, and a G6 that can't take a good low light pic of anything living off its life depended on it.
At the moment, my wife is happily using my inferior 6P because it runs better, takes more reliable and higher quality pictures than any of that other junk she's used in the last two years. I floated the idea of upgrading her off a now two year old phone and she got annoyed.
My biggest mistake wasn't buying a piece of trash phone two years ago, it was that I didn't buy two.
