What phone should I get?

I just got a 2017 model LG g6 phone and it was brand new, but after a week it shut down with the black screen of death and would not power back on.   I got a refund, but I want to get another more reliable smartphone with similar capabilities.    I don't want to spend over 250-300.  Any ideas? I'm on verizon.

If you can afford I would say go with high end phones on samsung like galaxy note.
