In case anyone else is in this boat, the Moto Z is a pretty good third option. Not quite as pricey as the Pixel, (and the camera's not as amazing), but it's very close to stock Android.
- egeozcan 9y agoI got myself a G5 Plus, with amazing price\performance. The camera is not that nice, yes, but so was the camera of my now-barely-working Nexus 5.
- coldpie 9y agoI'm _still_ using a 2013 Moto X. I've been ready to upgrade for a couple years, but nothing matches the requirements of: decent specs, stock Android, and <= 5". Apparently all the NBA players quit and became high-end phone designers three years ago. Every now and then I toy with the idea of getting the latest iPhone. Another year of this old thing and I might get fed up enough to switch.
- NSAID 9y ago2013 Moto X here, too. I recently replaced the battery and it's been great to get through a full day again, but I'm nervous about the day when this thing actually dies. I'm looking for something with those 3 requirements as well, and it's incredible how few options there are.
- coldpie 9y agoThe Pixel 5" meets the requirements, but it's still out of stock and $750(!). Otherwise the iPhone (same price) is the only other stock-OS, decent spec, <= 5" phone I'm aware of.
- shuntress 9y agoI have pretty much the same requirements (Stock-OS, Decent Specs, Not Huge). With no love for apple, I recommend (from personal experience) buying an iPhone SE. Edit: I mention the SE specifically because it is not the same price. $400 vs $750
