Bootloop...., or?

So, I was using Maps to navigate somewhere, with location on, and uploading a photo to Photobucket with 3G reception. Tried to pull down the notification bar, it froze, let it sit, still frozen, tried to turn it off, nothing. Popped the battery, put it back in, wouldn't turn on. Tried that a few times, tried three different batteries, somewhere along there a combo of plugging it in to the computer, a different battery, and the SD card removed it booted all the way up. (when plugged into the computer it would show battery percentage on the screen, but not plugged into a wall charger) Then it froze in Snapchat a couple minutes after booting up, pulled the battery, tried to reboot - nothing, tried a bunch of combos, nothing. LG G4 won't turn on? - Forums - CNET Did that, then it booted to the LG splash screen, but sat there for five minutes, pulled the battery, won't boot up again.

Yes, it's a 505 device made spring of 2015. And, I froze updates so it was still on Lollipop 13B - Verizon.

Is this piece of LG crap junk now? I swear, I had three Moto Xs, slow and laggy after five years (used them for 2/3 years), buttons were shot on two, but they'd always boot up and never crashed on me, even ran eight tabs in the browser without issue. Six years later and LG can't make a $600 phone even work right? The heck.

EDIT:
It booted to the LG splash screen, but then it shut off after 10/15 seconds. So, it's not like, looping with the LG Splash screen, it just plain won't boot up (usually).
And it makes the dingy noise when I connect it to my laptop.

Never-mind, it's shot, bootlooping away.... LG still giving replacements?

I think they are--I just talked to a friend who had his replaced not too long ago.
 
Someone on Reddit said they accepted his G4 with a Swappa receipt, mine is only 6 months old from there, but over a year old manufacture date, so, that seemed to work. Before I sent it off though I wanted to try the hot blow-dryer method see if I could get off some pictures I forgot to sync with Google Photos/save. Got it to boot up for a minute or so to the homescreen, but the dumb thing wouldn't connect to my laptop so I could pull my stuff..., then it started bootlooping again. Trying it again.
