I currently have an iPhone 4S and it's really starting to feel chunky, slow and with too small a screen. I'm not interested in Apple's later offerings, and I don't need a flagship model droid (I don't play mobile games and I'm not a heavy app user so I'm comfortable with second tier performance, but I would like it to feel snappy for normal tasks). I do take a lot of photos for work, but they don't need to be high quality (the 4S's camera is more than good enough).
My biggest issue is that modern phones are too damn big. I think a screen size of 4 inches or slightly bigger is probably ideal for me (even 4.5" makes me hesitant). I often have to crawl into small spaces for work so my phone can get a hard time in my back pocket, and I've always felt like I would run into issues with a big phone (the current iphone 6 bending fiasco is not helping to allay those fears). Plus I just don't find them comfortable to use.
I've shortlisted the Galaxy S5 mini or HTC one mini 2, but they're on the tipping point of being too big. Can anyone recommend some other options that might suit me? I've ruled out the Sony Xperia Z1 compact as I don't like the way it looks and it has a glass back like the 4S which gets scratched to hell at work.
Thanks in advance
