new smartphone with "stock" android (6+) and "small display" (<= 5'')?

The answer is clear: Moto G, 4G LTE version from 2013 or you can buy 2014 version but it doesnt have 4G for now. maybe later Motorola will release a 2014 4G LTE version of Moto G.
Quad core CPU, Android Lollipop 5.0 update granted for this year, HD display, 4.5" on 2013 and 5" on 2014 version plus stereo speakers on 2014, highly customizable with Moto shells with a lot of colors, great cameras on 2014 version, and it costs 179$ for 8GB and 199$ for 16gb plus SD slot on 4G version and 2014 version. What else do you need? :good:

Nice phones, but are they in your budget?
The Xperia Z is a really nice phone too, slightly better than the ZR, and almost the same price. Check that out too. Plus, now that the Nexus 6 has come, the prices of the Nexus 5 might have fallen, and that's an amazing phone as well.
If your budget is closer to the Moto G range, the best phones, in my opinion, are the Moto G (any version, really), Xperia E3, and the ASUS ZenFone 5. Not sure if any of these has LTE, though.
Also, in the range between these is the first-generation Moto X - also a pretty amazing phone.
thank you dude and you mean to say sony xperia Z out does ZR ??

Not sure if actually budget in the US, ($199 on a 2 year contract) check out the HTC desire eye. Don't go with sony unless you go with the equal of the Z range. I'm speaking from experience (Xperia Tipo, Xperia U, Xperia Jlo)
Otherwise, check out motorola or even an older Nexus will do.
If you would check nexus 5, check lg g2 - It's price is similiar, but better than n5 in some aspects. Xperia z is an older phone, but I guess it would do ok too, same goes for zr
If you want something cheaper, then there is a big choice in the mid-range - moto g lte as mentioned before, Lg f60, f70 and f90 should be a good choice too, also g3 s and g2 mini. Htc one mini 2, desire 816, maybe desire 610.
As for sony, there's xperia e3, c3.
C3

[PETITION] Android Nougat Update for Osprey and Merlin

Motorola provided a list of devices which are going to get the new Android Nougat update. However, Moto G 2015 (Osprey) and the Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition (merlin) are not listed while they are perfectly capable of running it. Hence, to bring this under Motorola's attention, a petition has been started.
Original thread content :
""Please discuss, post support and spread news about this petition: https://www.change.org/p/motorola-please-include-moto-g-3rd-gen-for-android-nougat-update
On 4th October 2016 you announced on your official blog which handsets would be getting the Android 7.0 (Nougat) update.
Absent from the list was the Moto G 3rd Gen (Osprey) and Moto G Turbo Edition (Merlin) - making them historically the first Moto G phones to receive only one major Android update. Both Moto G 1st Gen (Falcon) and 2nd Gen (Titan) where given two Android updates - KitKat and Lollipop in the case of 'Falcon,' and Lollipop and Marshmallow for 'Titan.'
The abandoning of support for both 'Osprey' after 8 months (Android 6.0.1 was released in March 2016) and 'Merlin' after only 3 months shows that the Moto brand now will no longer respect the previous practise of providing ‘18 months of update support.’
Included on the current official Nougat update device list is the Moto G Play (4th Gen) - a handset with weaker specifications than both 'Osprey' and 'Merlin.'
The issue is not technical limitation. You appear to have simply decided your last generation Moto G handsets are no longer important.
The Moto G Play uses the exact same chipset and GPU as 'Osprey,' but runs at a lower CPU clock-speed. This profound hardware similarity also suggests that in the process of making the update for Moto G Play; much of the work needed to produce a Nougat update for 'Osprey' would be completed.
Moto X Play (also on the Nougat update list) uses the exact same chipset and GPU as Moto G Turbo Edition - making both devices Vulkan compatible.
Moto G is a mid-range device, but your update support for it shrinks with each year. Why should people have confidence in your products when you so casually drop support for your best-selling phone?​""

Hope Lenovo listens to us. Hope for the best :good:
