does moto x run near stock interface
Yes. Only additions are active notifications which are awesome and the camera interface (also some other apps that are actually useful) . But google has their camera on the playstore if you prefer it

I think that's the only stock phone they have. You will have some stupid Bloat ware. But I would hold out for the new moto x that is suppose to be released soon. Rumor is a 5inch screen (1080p) but they kept the bezels really small so a small form factor compared to other 5inchers

I had it for a while before I switched to tmobile for the nexus 5, but I liked it a lot. The only thing i didnt like was not having the bootloader unlocked.

I think There are apps for that.


Try Searching "quick reply" in the playstore

Should have gotten a Nexus or Moto X. I find Samsung to be the laggiest of the android phones, even when playing with them in the stores

I upgraded from a galaxy S1 to S5 and so far have been loving every minute. I almost upgraded to the S4 until I saw the S5 was coming out recently so I decided to hold off.

No problems with messaging, ads, or the base software. The only complaint I have is the call quality has significantly been reduced from my S1. Otherwise, it meets my expectations across the board (not hard to do upgrading from the S1).

I really don't like my s4. If it weren't due the screen, I would despise it, but it has certainly been the best part of the phone.

I have a moto g coming in next week that will replace the s4

Agreed, I find myself lost in this phone at times and I have had it for a year.
