Recommend a new phone.

Hi

I'm currently using a Samsung galaxy S3 for the past 2 years. Recently I've been having trouble with my arm and elbow and my physio believes the phone is part of the problem. I find the phone to be quite large as I have pretty small hands. So I'm looking for advice on a new phone with the following.

Must be android.
Must be smaller than the galaxy S3. I find the width of the phone to be the real problem.
Although a smaller phone I'd like a pretty decent one with a good quality screen.
Price not very important. Could afford up to 400 euro but most phones that price are too large for me.
Mostly will be used for internet browsing and listening to music.

Can anyone give me a run down on what they think might suit me.

Mick.

Sony Z3 compact?
4.6 inch screen.

Digital Solitude

Xiaomi Mi2S? 4.5 iirc. Could the weight of the phone possibly be an issue OP? Something to keep in mind perhaps

Z3 Compact is the king of the smaller phones.
Instead of being a smaller version of a flagship with cut down specs like most other "mini" phones, the Z3 Compact has all the same hardware as it's bigger brother.

If you compare the Z3 Compact's CPU, GPU, screen, camera and battery to the other minis it's comes out on top in terms of specs.

Couple of reviews,

If I was looking for a smaller phone, it'd be my choice.
