Same here. I cannot stand the size of phone's today. Mine is 6" and I hate it. My old Motorola G3 was the perfect size. I'd still use it, if it didn't eat SD cards (and only have a 4GB hard drive).
This is a major reason behind why I've stuck with my iPhone 5S since the end of 2013. Unfortunately, after 6 years, the battery life is now really suffering, and it's starting to feel a little sluggish. Up until the last 6 - 12 months it's been a great phone though.

True.
> and haven't been for half a decade.
The iPhone SE is less than 5 years old, and it's terrific. I've had mine for nearly three years and I just got the battery replaced. I'm not sure I'd buy an SE new today if I needed a new phone, but I'm going to hold onto it until it dies or another good small phone comes out.
I also find typing on it to be much more inaccurate than larger phones (even with swipe typing).
The battery life and everything else is great, though.
My search for a _wide_ phone led me to develop this: https://github.com/dotancohen/screensize/
I've run it across every phone on the market and no phone is available that has a screen as wide as the Note 3 had six years ago. But phone _height_ has increased over 30% on average.
