Exactly... I would have to say the N5 or the 2014 Moto G/X. (possibly the 2015 G as it looks to be a significant upgrade from the previous versions.) Strictly speaking as relates to screen size and support.The problem here is that all of the stuff that's big on the inside and biggest with developer support is also bigger on the outside, something that the OP doesn't want.
I'm sure that a smaller alternative exists but I'm not sure which one would fill the rest of the bill. :dontknow:
I understand the OPs concern but there's some larger screen devices like the HTCs that do have the larger screen but seem to have lengthened the device to keep it one hander friendly(Or at least it feels like it).
Going back to the "its like buying a car" statement... The OP needs to go to an electronics store and "test drive" some devices.
Actually holding a dummy phone or live model is something I've always done. I like to get a feel of the build quality, how easy it is to hold and if I can reach all necessary buttons and touch points one handed, how well it fits in my pocket etc.
I mean a large number of our community are average Joe's and I always encourage people to please do your research before buying or committing to a subsidy on a contract. Buying a new phone is a significant investment for a lot of people and believe me there's lots of buyers remorse and sour Sam's out there that bought something they just don't like.
(I bought TWO devices at launch without any research and were by and far the worst/most challenging devices I've ever owned the Droid X and the HTC Thunderbolt...well those were two expensive lessons learned. I'm sure some of you can relate lol.)
