Seconded. With the Moto X you get great build quality and hardware, personalization, excellent form factor, stock Android with genuine enhancements, and the price is now down to $350/$400 unlocked. Sadly, some people are put off by the spec sheet, but I find that the X has excellent performance and a beautiful screen.

I find it quite a bit easier to reach across the width of the iPhone's screen than the Moto X. It's the difference between comfortable and not comfortable for me. I wish there was a high-spec Android phone with the screen size and dimensions of the iPhone.

The Sony Z1 Compact is as close as you can get today. Only slightly larger than an iPhone and with comparable specs to the high end android phones.

The dimensions of the Z1 Compact are almost identical to those of the Moto X. Most importantly to my one-handed use concern, it's only narrower by 400 μm. The iPhone 5/5s is almost 7mm narrower than the Moto X.

android phones just try very hard to have the largest numbers in all features.

they can't have lots of pixels and cheap price if they go for a small screen. screens are absurdly cheaper as you lower the resolution. and since they can't lower the pixel count, they sell larger and larger phablets.
