It was... minus the battery failures after a year or so of use. The 6P was supposed to be their foot in the NA market, and they fucked it. Mine failed, family members' failed, friends failed. The LG was no better for that year, something about a mobo shorting after X amount of time with the 5X. Again, family members' had them, failed.
Never heard about that, here (EU) it would be under warranty though.
Stateside you get a 1y warranty from G, this hasn't changed since they started the nexus (pixel) program. So when mine shit the bed, I was sol.
That sucks, but if it's systemic, they can't legally deny responsibility even in USA AFAIK, as it's clearly not a fault due to wear.
That's also the reason Intel is extending warranty with their CPUs that have the crashing issues. If they didn't they'd be facing a class action suit.
