I have a lg v20 but looking for alternatives/upgrade after owning it for almost 2 years.

I am looking for a dual sim , wide angle selfie lens and preferably unbreakable phone, perhaps better low light photography like/better than lg v20…

Any recommendations?

Edit:
My priorities in order of importance are:
1) Wide angle selfie lens
2) Dual sim
3) Low light photography
4) "unbreakable"

Update:
I emailed phone arena on whether they could add a functionality to search for phones by their front camera functionality (as they had the search functionality already) and wide angle lens was already reported in each of the camera, but not searchable. They replied a few days later with the below link. Yeah!

There was this article which is slightly older (Oct 2017), but I like it because it specifies how wide each camera is. I am so used to the 120 degrees wide angle that I am not sure I can move down a notch.

      I am not sure how much of an upgrade Lg V30 is to Lg v20 (in terms of the photography)? I don't really care about the better screen lg v30 has..

        Well, how much of an upgrade do you want? Your post just asks for alternatives or upgrades. V30 is clearly an upgrade, or at least an alternative to the V20.

          Not sure. Just wanted more ideas for other wide-angle selfie cameras out there. Already know of V30, so wanted to know if there are other phones with similar capabilities (or maybe LG has trademarked it??)

          @lookwithin: Not trademarked but it is a pretty niche feature, I'm not aware of any other manufacturers adopting them…

          @stirlo: Thanks. Sigh. I was hoping that there are some alternatives out there for me..

    unbreakable phone

    No such thing. Closest would be Nokia 3310.

      I have dropped my lg v20 almost on a weekly basis.. and it is still working fine :)

      • djsweet on 05/06/2018 - 14:00

        Yeah but have you run it over with your car?

      • Diji1 on 05/06/2018 - 14:26

        Are you OK?

        • lookwithin on 05/06/2018 - 14:41

          clumsy hands/poor vision/get knocked over… I think I am okay. Thanks for asking :)

        V20 here and super very rarely I drop it. Ain't a clumsy.

        Plus it is stored inside a faux leather pouch. Super protection.

        Hope this phone will last me 5 yrs. Thx lord and god bless the queen for removeable battery.

      Sony xperia are pretty solid, ugly but solid, dropped many times and survived. not sure of the new ones xp2 cause they look better and the screen is very close to the edge

    I went from the virtually uncrackable V20 to the Huawei P10+. However, i wouldn't say this camera for photo or video is an upgrade. The low light performance is terrible in my opinion. It is however dual SIM, can be rooted, takes good photos in daylight, offers the infrared (sigbificantly underestimated feature on smart phones), has newer gen Kirin cheap, 4 or 6GB RAM and a bright 2K screen…the battery is encased like newer gen Samsung/Apple devices, so it's pretty hard to break this if you use a simple cover with it.

    I've had it for a year but I'm looking for a replacement and cant find anything that suits my requirements - wireless charging, wifi AC, NFC, infrared, USB type C, 2L screen, dual sim, etc.

      Thanks. I thought Huawei had a good camera from some reviews.

      Hopefully, somebody can offer some suggestions that suits your requirements :)
