Is there any other phones with physical home buttons like the Sx series from Samsung?

At the moment I'm using an S4 my boss has lent me until I get my own and I've been looking around and it seems that all the Android phones I look at don't have a physical home button. I understand the appeal for the on-screen buttons but that just isn't what I want, I've used them before and I just prefer a physical button.

 

Will I just have to get an S5 Mini and put stock Android on it to get away from Samsung's bloat or is there an alternative that I haven't found yet?

There are plenty with capacitive buttons, but not physical buttons. 

 

The 1+1 and Droid Turbo both have capacitive buttons, but not physical ones. 

 

But seriously, on screen buttons are better.

The thing is that the on-screen buttons are a move by Google, not the manufacturers, to try and get them to become more widely used in Android devices.
