    Doesn't matter if its a few years old or an apple

    Not many 4-5" phones on the market these days. Even older ones would be cost prohibitive as the battery wouldn't be great.

    i hate modern big screen phones, they don't fit in my front jean pocket...surely there's still a market for smaller screen phones ??

    What phone have you got at the moment? Newer phones have far batter screen to body ratios meaning even though the screen is big they are not necessarily that big.

    Don't go by screen size. Compare your current phone size to newer models and there may not be huge difference. Screen ratio has increased but overall size on quite a few hasn't jumped by much.
    Check kimovil.com on the desktop site it gives a size outline guide to compare.

    Older phones must not have been able to fit in your jeans pockets either as the size of phones hasn't changed much, just screen ratio.

    I'd recommend the S10e, not that much bigger than your current phone.

    smaller phones, especially newer ones, tend to have crap batteries.... majority of 5" or less phones have a battery of less than 3000mAh

    you could look at something left field like the ulefone armor x7

    13 MGpx camera would be a big upgrade on your current 5MGpx, plus twice the ram and twice the capacity and twice the battery (NFC as a nice cherry too, plus android 10)

    you can compare them here
