Android, so the OS isn't gonna kill you with any downsides beyond any other Android phone.

Thankyou, cheap foreign labour.
I think your friends are probably mistreating their phones if they're breaking or losing data often. And considering how easy it is to backup your phone, losing data shouldn't even be a big issue.
