"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).

It's cool, I'm not QUITE as downvote proof as I was on reddit, but I'm getting there! ;)
