I think it's a bit of a tie between the acer liquid and the samsung Galaxy note 4, even though I liked both.

the acer liquid had support issues.
I didn't get updates because I was sent the Belgian model.
I got a few updates after changing the region(manually install a dutch official rom, then let automatic updates do their thing), but right before the big update that made it really unique they cut support for the regular model(the E model with slightly more ram did get the update, no other difference)
I installed a slightly tweaked acer liquid e rom(just to remove the model check) and it ran without issue.
the acer liquid e rom showed exactly how custom UI's should work, it had a switch in the settings that switched it from completely stock UI to one that had a bottom status bar with pop-up notification bubbles and toggles(this was on android 2.1 or 2.2)

my galaxy note 4 worked great, and I had no issues for a year.
but after a year it fried itself.
I had it repaired under warranty, but almost exactly 1 year later(just after warranty expired) it fried itself again the exact same way.
there was a design flaw in the motherboard that caused it to slowly self-destruct after a year of heavy use.
when it wasn't self-destructing it worked fine(although they should've used harder metal for the edge of the phone, it was really soft)
