Moto X.

I'm not sure what part of my comment you're responding to, but I don't think the Moto X is a good response to anything I said. It doesn't have removable storage. It doesn't have a removable battery. With a 4.7" screen, it's much bigger than an iPhone.

  Have you seen how big it is next to an iPhone? Pretty close in physical size, despite the screen. http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/reviews/142861-image/Apple-iPhone-5s-vs-Motorola-Moto-X-001.jpg http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/reviews/142861-image/Appl...

    My mother owns a Moto X, bought on my recommendation. It is much closer in width to my Nexus 5 than it is to the iPhone and barely more comfortable for me to use one-handed than my Nexus 5. The difference in width is apparent in the photograph you linked. I commend Motorola for an excellent job eliminating non-screen area on the front of the Moto X. It's a very space-efficient device in that regard, but my complaint is about reaching all areas of a touchscreen with my thumb while holding it in one hand, and nothing fixes that like a smaller touchscreen.

  it's bigger than an iPhone, but smaller than the bulk of recent phones (unless you look at crappy low-end phones). I think it's just the right size, the iPhone is too small.

The iPhone is not the most compact phone around, and by compact I don't mean small. It is smaller, just not very compact, so less efficient screen wise.

Yup, I remember this from an article almost a year ago.
