in Techie Stuff
I need to replace my iphone 5 as it is dying. I'm struggling to find a replacement model. I have kept the iphone as it is perfect in size. Phones are now ridiculously big and too big for myself. I dont want another iphone, as i am leaning for android. Trouble is, i work in construction and i need a phone that will comfortably fit in my shirt pockets. If it falls out, it needs to stay in one piece which the iphone has done.
Looking for a tough android smartphone under six inches screen size, just for email, text, tv, movies and other basic stuff. Not into gaming or anything down that road. I dont do apps either.
Any recommendations? So many available but need to feel, touch and try before buying. Useful leads would be appreciated.

Might be better with two devices.
One for the pocket at work basic to get/make calls txt
One for the smartphone stuff like TV movies.

Keep your phone in a holster, for example the Urvoix from Amazon, it won't fall out.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

If you would consider another iphone, the iphone SE is one of the smaller phones on the current market.
