Does such a phone exist?

Well from your first post, you wanted features similar to the 950.

Sadly there's not many decent high end phones under 5" apart from the Xperia Z5 Compact. I guess the OnePlus X is a good shout. Not a brilliant camera but decent enough, and Oxygen OS is very close to stock Android. Screen is AMOLED as well and looks very nice. As for pixel density, it's 441ppi vs the Lumia's 564ppi but at that range, it's hard to see the difference.

If that were true, I'd not have specified Android, or listed a screen size ;)

Oneplus X looks ok, but I keep hearing bad things about the quality of OnePlus devices, lots of failures.
 
I have the z3 compact and my mate at work has the z5 compact these are as close to what your asking for that you will get, both are good phones very good camera's build quality is very good and battery is also very good I normally charge every 2-4 days depending on my usage. And Sony really don't add much to stock.
 
OnePlus X? Decent metal and glass build, decent screen, SD slot and (with Cyanogen) decent battery life.

And cheap.

OnePlus X (as well as 2) uses OnePlus's own UI called Oxygen OS. They had issues with Cyanogen Inc and broke off away from them. Compared to stock Google Android and Cyanogen OS, in terms of features it's about inbetween.

The hardware and build quality itself of the OPX is great, but the software was initially a bit of a let down due to bugs. But they have been improving and fixing it, and haven't had any complaints from my sister for a good while from her OPX. The only major software complaint about the OPX on the OP forum now is the slow Marshmallow update :p.
 
tbh s7 is the best suggestion here, seems to fit your bill.

I had s2 ages ago, liked the hardware etc but couldn't stand the touchwiz, then s3 which I hated too.

s4/s5/s6 imo were quite crap too in regards to software.

s7 is the one I own now and thb it is in another league, build is epic, battery life is great, camera is amazing, screen is perfect etc! and software, the thing I always disliked about samsung is very close to stock android and with added theme support you can make it feel even more stock.

I don't even have any urge to go custom ROM which is always the first thing I do on phones.

go have a play with one and you'll see what I mean.

There's a CyanogenMod 13 nightly branch now for the OPX. I've ditched Oxygen and put CyanogenMod on mine and its a vast improvement.
