Android phone with no manufacturer fud

[wooky69]

Hi all, I'm looking to splash out on a new Android phone and I'd like one without any manufacturer interface TouchWiz ETC? I'd like as pure Android experience as possible with regular updates.

Nexus 6 or Moto X?

What can you all recommend?

Thanks.

If you want it pure, get a Nexus.

Moto X - $499
Nexus 6 - $649
Nexus 5 - Currently $349-359, but it might go down.
OnePlus One - $299-$349. Modified, but CyanogenMod is awesome.
HTC One M8 Google Play Edition - $699

I'm actually running CyanogenMod on my GS3, I'm quite impressed. Not sure I'm brave enough to flash a brand new phone though

I'm leaning towards a Nexus 6, I looks Epic. I know its a moot point now but they should have gone with 5.5" screen a 3900mh battery and it would have been my ultimate phone.

So I've just looked on the Play store and obviously the Nexus 6 isn't available to pre order yet but it is listed, I can only see the 32 GB one though

After using lots of different models I bought a pure Android Nexus 4, it made such a positive impression on me that I was very eager to buy a Nexus 5 upon release due to it's better specs.

Now after one year with the N5, I'm super happy. I've had other new phones as you can see by the list on the left of my current models. But if i was going to limit myself to just one it'd be a Nexus hands down no hesitation.

I'll be ordering a Nexus 6 tomorrow because I have a distinct need for a large 6"display. Yet I'm also keeping my Nexus 5, its like new even though it's had lots of use. It's just too good to sell.
