Android suggestions

Evening all, My Nexus 5 has today decided to enter the bootloop of death and nothing I've tried has been able to recover it.Therefore, I'm looking for some suggestions for a replacement. I don't need the latest and greatest, but I do want something that will last a few years as I'm not one to change my phone regularly. Something that receives regular security updates would be great. I'd also like an unlockable bootloader, so I can replace the OS with Linage when it's inevitably abandoned by the manufacturer. Budget is probably sub $400. Any and all suggestions welcome. Cheers, Tim

Morning Philip, Bu 'bootloop of dealth' I mean a continuous bootloop when on charge, when off charge the phone wont boot at all. The bootloop cycle is so short I can't even enter the bootloader. It seems to be a reasonably common problem with that particular phone. Hope yours keeps on chugging away!
