I've been using a first or second gen ipod when I'm working out and have come to love the size. Are there any current phones out there this size that are android or ios? Love the rounded edges, small factor, good battery life, etc. It is just a good feeling package. It'd gladly sell my lg g3 for a current phone this size.

The iPhone SE or Sony Xperia Z5 Compact are the closest. But they still aren't as small as the iPod (going to assume you are talking about the Touch) 2nd gen.

Spot on. With the relative success of the iPSE, we'll likely see more smaller Android phones, but it'll take some time.

I don't think anything will touch the iPhone 5SE until this fall and that it'll be the closest you can get to.

But if you don't do much screen consumption considering a 3.5" screen would be OK for you, why not consider a smartwatch from which you can stream music (locally or via cellular) and leave your phone in your bag.

impossible to find a good and small smartphone.
plenty of dumb phones that are small or even smaller though like the Motorola EX223.

I'm looking for a full phone I can carry with me everywhere but at the size and roundness off the iphone or ipod touch. New Iphones, even the SE, are more squared and blocky on the ends vs the older ipod touch which tapers off. I have a fitbit I wear already.

I still have an old Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II. Was a good size and full KB. Never went higher than JB 4.1.2.
