I need a small, powerful smartphone.

[Vic Vega]

I had a smartphone for about two years which was 4.47" x 2.32" x 0.52" and 4.6 oz.

I upgraded to a larger phone which is 4.96" x 2.56" x 0.47" and 6 oz.

I really don't like how large the new phone is and am looking for something similar to my old phone's dimensions. With a case on the new phone it's huge and bulky and requires me to use two hands. Plus it can't go in my pocket which drives me insane. I can't stand having to carry it around.

I do like the power of the larger phone though, the old phone was only 840 MHz (overclocked, 600MHz stock, single core). Dual core CPU is a must, Android is a must.

Needs to be ATT compatible for use with StraightTalk.

Price is not an issue.

Galaxy S4 mini or HTC One mini

4.91 x 2.41 x 0.35 in

3.77 oz

Thanks. I can't find the HTC One Mini specs. The Samsung still seems rather large for a "mini" device but at least it is light weight.

HTC First. Disable Facebook home, and you're left with a really nice 4.3" phone with stock Android.

HTC Desire X (4.67" x 2.45" x 0.37", 4.0 ounces)
Sony Xperia Go (4.4" x 2.4" x 0.4", 3.88 ounces)
LG Motion 4G (4.37" x 2.39" x 0.45", 4.66 ounces)

No problem. I was looking just now to see if any phones came out more recently than those with decent specs and same size and weight, but it looks like every manufacturer is moving toward 4.5" and greater. Even "mini" has changed meaning, now designating a 4.3" display phone (which translates into around 5 inches phone length).

There are Windows Phones in that spec class, but even they are moving more toward larger phones, as Apple might be in a few months.

One S is still an awesome phone

LG Optimus G would be my pick.

Next would be the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5.

Problem with the First is its dead. I wouldn't expect Android updates.
