I miss my old Moto G1. Light and with a small form factor, and at the same time it was one of the first phones that were cheap but not low quality.
It made a breakthrough in a market where you either had an expensive Samsung or you dealt with cheap phones with very bad specs. This was ages ago, fortunately today there are more phones that are cheap but with acceptable specs.

Moto G1 had the perfect form factor, plus also the "rubber" like back which I really loved. I have no idea why glas surfaces on the back are a thing, I always have to use a phone cover as else it would slip my hands. The rubber the Moto G1 allowed for a safe and firm grip, that every phone should have on the back.

I'm not sure how similar it was, but when I saw this post my first thought was the original Moto X. Even today, I think I might rate that as my favorite phone of all time. Perfect size, flagship-ish specs, grippy texture without a case, etc. Then of course the next generation made it huge.
