Out of those, I would want to recommend the HTC.

Price range?

My choices would be as follows

Nexus 5

Moto X

Moto G

[kuzimins]

get something newer, they're old phones

Budget please, for crying out loud DO NOT get the iPhone.

HTC one

Nexus 5 feels lovely too at a fraction of the cost.

Why? The 4S is still doing great.

 

Personally I'd grab a Nexus 5.

Still, a 2011 phone won't last him a long time, if he has a budget that can get him a Nexus 5 or even a Moto X that'd be a much better option.

my list

1.Nexus 5.......

 

 

everything else is bloated with crap (aka samsung and HTC)

technically the Moto G and Moto X aren't vanilla. just really really really close lol

Moto G does have a Google play edition version with vanilla.

I have used Touchwiz, Sense, Xperia UI, Motorolla's UI and by far the best in terms of fluidity and stability is Vanilla.

but he has 500$ seems pointless to buy a motoX or MotoG

He didn't have that posted when I sent that. He added the price range later

Go with the HTC One or a Nexus 5. The S3 and 4S are pretty outdated in terms of phones now. If you want to go with an iPhone I would try to find an iPhone 5 on ebay or something.

In that price range, Nexus 5 all the way.

Even without the price tag Nexus 5 is a superb phone. I'm a vanilla android lover too.

Everyone around me seeems to be switching to that or the new iPhone 5S.

[Paralectic]

Nexus 5 without a doubt.

I've just recently purchased a nexus 5 to replace my iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with performance and functionality, Dat price tag doe!!

I currently have the Nexus 5, and I'm loving it. One con though...the battery life is so terrible in the Nexus 5.  If you're a power user you might want another phone but you can always get wireless charging if necessary for the Nexus 5.
