I suggest using https://www.kimovil.com/ to compare smartphones. Using it I was able to find smaller phones with long battery life which were my two main requirements.
I wouldn't use an iPhone again. My last iPhone was an iPhone 4S. Not missing anything.
As far as I can tell, the only Android phones on that that have <5" screens and released in the last 18 months don't even support 5G. iPhone remains the only option :(
Decent means a lot of things to different people. For me, the phone that checked all my personal boxes was the samsung xcover6 pro with a swappable battery but still waterproofed, multiple bindable physical buttons, and a ruggedised case.
I'm guessing we'd have to know what you're looking for personally to find it :)

Like I said in the post, a screen about 5" big. iPhone Mini is the only phone on the market that even gets close (and it's still a little too big IMO), so I'm stuck here on iOS with no access to (real) Firefox :(
Yeah. Typically things in this category are running ancient OS versions or have crap build quality. Couple of those look interesting though, especially the Cubots. Maybe worth a look, thanks.
Can happen yes. But filtering the specs on gsmarena can be helpful. OS version for example.
Also deliberately choosing higher price.

These 2 returned on search for modern android (12-14) and a price over $200
I do love those rugged looking designs, but I'm going to stick with my xcover :)
