I'm looking to get a new phone, upgrading from SGS4. But I don't know what to get. It seems every thing I look at has some fatal flaw.

My two requirements are that it runs stock by android default or really close to it, and has an SD card slot(seriously why are there phones without one these days?)

Other than that I'd really prefer a normal size phone (5.1 or smaller) removable battery, normal micro-usb charging port and hardware navigation buttons.

Honestly the SGS4 is really the perfect phone for me other than the fact that it doesn't run stock android and I've had really bad luck getting mobile data to work perfectly with non TouchWiz ROMs.

So what is the recommendation? It doesn't have to be the absolute latest.
