>I ever do try Android again, it'll have to be running the stock OS, not a phone manufacturer's bloated interpretation.
If you ever do, go for the OnePlus. Not particularly for the hardware (though it's quite good). But their implementation of android is in my personal opinion the best. No BS bloatware, just an enhanced version of stock Android known as - Oxygen OS
The experience is comparable to my iPhone, it's great.
