I recently tried the HTC one, the Moto x and the LG G2. The G2 works for me as good or even better than the Iphone 5S. Battery life is great, the customiztion of Android is super and the larger display is very pleasing. I've had an S3 and a S4 before, so I was familiar with Android. The KitKat on the Verizon G2 is smooth and the knock, knock allows me to use the phone without ever even touching the back buttons. I just ordered a wireless charging plate. This phone is a winner. Don't hesitate if you are looking in this area.
