I have two phone requirements: stock Android and <5" screen. The Pixel comes so close. If it were cheaper, I would compromise on the screen size. As it is, I just bought a new battery for my 2013 Gen 1 Moto X for $5 instead.

I recently made StockDroids[1] -- it's still not much but it's a good start if you're in the market for a new phone :)

This is really well done, thanks!

Very nice. Maybe add a Filter/Search field to reduce the list.

Clicking the field's name on the left will let you filter. It should be more discoverable

My God I love that phone. It's my favorite phone I've ever owned (and I've had several iPhones and several Androids).

I broke mine. Sad, sad day.

I bought that phone in 2014 with a broken screen and was intending to repair it and flip it. I ended up keeping it. That phone was amazing. Voice commands just worked so well. When I was driving and issued a command it would know I was driving and therefore enable the speaker. It also supported what Google now terms "trusted voice"(lets me issue command when locked and it would do it only for my voice alone), something that my Nexus 6 doesn't and for no good reason since the Snagdragon in it supports this.

Its too bad the replacement screen crapped out

Maybe someday professional basketball players will stop moonlighting as phone designers and we'll get reasonably sized screens again.
