I got a 5s a few months back once the pricing was sensible. Like you I was using a cheap Nokia with an iPad mini previously.

Might just be done with it and get a 2nd Gen Moto G!

Galaxy Mini's are generally pretty poor as Samsung goose the hardware. Best bet is to look at the Sony Z* Compacts; small and the hardware is pretty damn good - they aren't particularly cheap though.

If you want cheap then Vodafone Ultra Smart 6, Alcatel Idol 3 or 3rd gen Moto G - as you found though, all of them are rocking 5"+ screens.

What about the previous generation of Samsung Galaxy but the mini version. I'm sure it would tick all the boxes but perhaps just a little dearer.

Edit: check out Samsung Galaxy Core Prime too, that may be even cheaper and it has 4G IIRC.

Been rocking a 1st gen Moto G for the last 18 months, it's been good as gold but the battery life is beginning to show strain now and it's not 4G. The new one is a bloody 5" phone and I don't want something that big. I like a small phone, I have an iPad mini so don't want a big screen. Is there anything about in that pricerange that is any good at the moment?
