My phone is about 15cm (~5¾ in) tall, and to me, that's the absolute maximum. It's slightly too big. The width, about 7cm (~2¾ in) is totally fine.
This (Galaxy XCover 5) was the smallest phone that seemed to exist (and I wanted one woth durability, removable battery, SD slot, headphones etc). It was very expensive though.
Trying to find cheaper ones for various people in the extended family, they all specified "oh, not bigger than my current one", but it was impossible. There's basically nothing less than 16cm tall, and most are even bigger.
I'm scared of this one breaking. The XCover 6 is 17cm x 8cm.
Xperia 10 V is 15.5x6.8 cm. Might be worth a try
That's not bad actually, still bigger though - but not by as much as most :)
