for stock Android experience and fast OS updates, and don't really have a match if these two are your priorities.

get stock Android experience is by installing a custom ROM.
They both feature a

stock Android experience with great, useful additions that anyone would love, and good hardware (not top of the line, but good enough for most).
In fact, Google's flagship smartphone is one of the biggest rivals the HTC 10 currently has thanks to its full
stock Android experience as well as a compelling price tag.
Essential advertised that the Essential Phone has a clean and
stock Android experience so many have been hoping that will enable them to roll out their Oreo update soon.

wanted stock Android experience, would most probably select the smartphone that provides the best specs, root it and then run a custom ROM on it.

glorious stock Android experience.
While the Nexus 7 may have been a
totally stock Android experience, Asus has since moved onto its own ZenUI launcher, which in this case is based on Android Lollipop 5.0.
The newly launched Moto X Play, which just like the other Motorola phones will offer a near
stock Android experience added with the first update promise.
