Smart phones killed small phones. Really, a small smart phone runs into usability problems.
I loved my old Kyocera slider, but all it was good for was phone and SMS.
1" screen, phone is about the size of a credit card.

"Small smart phones run into usability problems" for you.
Samsung S4 Mini was fantastic for me. Still own a couple. I'd be happy with an updated version.
weeps in dead battery
I had it flashed with LineageOS and would still legitimately use it as a daily driver if its charge would last longer than it takes for me to disconnect it from the charger and bring it outside my doorstep.
I had also bought a replacement battery but it was still so old that it barely made any difference.
Bummer.
Try some other batteries out there. Mine will still chew through even a good battery (Verizon version, no lineage for me).
