I'll add one requirement to the OP request: not wider than 71mm.

My hands are small and I use my phone with one hand most of the time. I'm still on a nexus 4 (love the size), but it's getting laggy and battery suffers (i owned this phone for 4+ years)

1 year in with the Nexus 5P and it's lagging for upwards of 1-2 seconds in Maps and runs out of battery sometimes in less than a day. The screen width is nice for reading but hard for using in one hand, e.g. when using it on a bicycle. Next time I'm definitely getting a smaller, cheaper phone with less battery use. And an FM receiver.
Nexus 5X here (bought in July 2016 iirc) - got Android 8 a while ago (liked 7 better, but ok) and can only hope it continues to get updates.

Can absolutely recommend the phone, but no clue how long it will be viable.
