As someone who's had 2 Samsung devices and 2 Google devices, I'm sticking with Google phones which are Motorola Moto G/X and Nexus devices. I bought a Moto G for my father and a Nexus 5 for me. I recommend those because they're stripped down. They don't have custom interfaces, apps, motion control, and other crap you don't need. It's "pure Android" as the nerds call them, as minimalist as it gets. It just works.
The Moto Gs are great bang for your buck but you never get a great camera at $150-220 range. The Nexus 5 is $280-350 depending on internal memory and color and it's a great mid-range phone.
Also, with Nexus phones you get Google Now. It's a separate screen where Google experiments with new ways of sending you info. You get news and other information related to your previous searches. If you looked up something on a sports team, a few days later you might see game scores on there. You might see Ferguson info if you've been Googling that. See pictures. The best part is you don't have to waste time customizing anything. It's all done for you.
Please, get anything but an iPhone!
