3.5" screen Advice needed

daddy_boy · 22-10-2018 11:16AM #1

Hi,

My wife has a iphone 4 which she has being using for years, she has now finally decided that she wants to go android.

My instructions are that it should be the same size as the iphone (15.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm) and a similar sized screen 3.5" / 36.5cm she dosen't what a " large" phone ie pixel , one plus etc..

budget 200 -350 new or second hand ( up to 2 years old ) and unlocked

Any advice/ pointers much appreciated.

I had a look on on Kimovil and put the screen size/overall dimensions to fit your requirements and there doesn't seem to be much available. Small phone requirements have changed. Manufacturers have pushed towards bigger units so you are very limited to whats on offer:

(Bear in mind I put a max screen size of 5" - if I reduced this down to any lower and there is no options available)
https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare-smartphones/f_min_d+eurPrice.200,f_max_d+eurPrice.290,f_min_d+screenSize.3.4,f_max_d+screenSize.5,f_max_d+sizeDepthMm.10,f_max_d+sizeHeightMm.150,f_max_d+sizeWidthMm.75,f_doba+slug.android,f_min_dobr+value.13

She might have to adjust her size options. Maybe go to Carphone Warehouse and try some phone options.

Everybody thinks they want a small phone until they use a larger one.

the sony xz1 compact is about the only decent one that I can think of

that's a fairly small phone - and good specs too. the current price is not too bad either on amazon germany - in your budget range.
you won't get a better smaller phone imo as there are very very few small phones being made now.
