[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like small phones, they fit my hands and pockets better.  I need something easy to use so cutting edge bells and whistles will probably be wasted on me, although I will probably be keeping it for longer than usual so I would like something that won't become obsolete for a while.  I've had an Android phone, but would be open to an Apple if I can move my stuff over (emails, pictures, texts, calendar, contacts, etc.)  fairly easily.  I'd prefer not to spend a lot, but am willing to invest if necessary to get what I want.

For reference, my current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (124.60 x 61.30 x 8.94 mm).  It was great when I got it,  but is barely usable now.  Currently, if not recharging, I get about 5-20 minutes of battery life, most aps are no longer supported, some lock up/crash, and I can't do Zoom at all.  I would like something that's reasonably fast, takes pretty good (amateur, point and click) pictures, has a reasonable battery life, and can run common aps.

Please help![/quote]

Have you taken a look at the iPhone 12 Mini?  It's only slightly larger than your current phone.  It is current gen and fairly expensive though and I know you said you don't want to spend much.  That being said, your current phone is from 2013 so you're definitely due for an upgrade at this point and not many companies are putting out small phones any longer.  Also, rumor has it that the iPhone 12 mini is selling poorly and it's in doubt if they'll continue producing mini's in the future so I suggest you get one while you can.  While the size is only a little bigger than your current phone, the screen size is much larger since it doesn't have the bezel at the top and bottom that your current phone has.[/quote]
