Recommendations for a decent compact Android phone

Ash_Pole

Phones seem to be getting bigger and bigger but I want a smaller one. iPhones are a good size still but I'm too used to Android.
My Xiaomi A2 Lite is coming to the end of its life. I don't want anything bigger than this at 6 inches (15cm). Nothing fancy other than a decent camera. Max of £300-£350.
Any recommendations?

Ash, as the A2 is a google one phone a Pixel 4A would prob be the best choice.

I have a Google Pixel 4a.  5.8" screen. Fast, OLED screen and good camera. I picked it up for £319 on black friday.

I would recomend the 4a (non 5g version, the 5g one is much bigger) too.

5.8" sounds big however since they moved from 16:9 to 18(or more):9 then actual screen size has become smaller (and with the black bars watching 16:9 ither side that some people like to moan about), so if it worries you go check out the size online and fold/cut some paper/card to it to see.

(I would aslo recomend google's pixel phone above and other device, they may have issues but they have much better software).

Thanks everyone I've ordered a Pixel a4 looking forward to it!

Another vote for the 4a. Light and compact yet decent sized screen, plenty of storage;  who needs more than two cameras?

I was surprised that it lacks an SD card slot, but with 128GB of storage built in, it shouldn't be an issue.

Nice that it comes without a load of unwanted pre-installed apps that have to be removed.
