The G's are all very close to stock Android, but there were one or two models that were advertised as "pure" (or maybe I'm thinking of the X?). I've currently got a G8 power, and it'll easily go 3 days without needing charging. There were also some Moto One models which used to run stock Android One, but I don't think they still actually ran Adroid One the last time I checked. -- Grant
