OnePlus 6 is an old model, no matter who owns the company, the chipset s845 has (mostly) mainline Linux support, so it will be able to receive custom ROM updates as long as the hardware is not obsolete, from great people like those developing lineage os

My phones usually end their life becuase they become unusable due to old specs and lacking software support. That's why I bought myself a Fairphone 4, but it's not good if your budget is tight.

So I would suggest to get a onplus 6 or 6T. They have best community suprot, so youcan get custom ROMs upgrade forever. The chipset is not new, but it's fast and with 6/8 GB RAM you should be covered for long. You can get one for not much more than 100 $/€. Then get a very good cover and screen protector.

One part that can easily wear out (on any phone) is the USB port. TO avoid this get one of those magnetic cables, so you can leave the usb adaper in the port avoiding thea wear.
