Dunno how small you want but the iphone SE is 4", the 7 is 4.7" and the 7+ is 5.5" so they have pretty much the whole spectrum covered. SE is cheap as shit too.

The 5x isn't holding up? Or Fi isn't? You can buy an unlocked phone anywhere and activate it on Verizon. Just check to see that it's compatible and stick the SIM in it.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Explodes In Man's Hands, Causes Second-Degree And Third-Degree Burns
Now Galaxy S7s are blowing up.
Now Galaxy S7s are blowing up.
I picked up a new Google Pixel XL yesterday and I'm trying to figure out what it is about my home network that has the wifi performing like dogshit. It takes forever to grab anything from the Play store and I have my other phone still here (LG G3) and the wifi on it has no problems at all. I didn't have any problems using the wifi at work today either, but now tonight back home it's gone to shit again.
I'm running DD WRT on my router and I've tried all sorts of different wireless combos. Even disable security to try that and nothing seems to change. Anyone else ever see this?

Seems pretty isolated? Not heard of any other Galaxy phones having issues.
I am curious how many battery issues have been influenced by shit tier Chinese 3rd party manufacturer chargers. These new Samsungs have "Adaptive Fast Charging", which allow them to be charged super quick. But to do so, the chargers have to vary voltage and current. I am wondering if some of these cheap shitty aftermarket charger accessories are fucking them up and overcharging at higher volts / current during parts of the charge cycle and damaging batteries.

I mean you can use any phone, bring your own device
Bring Your Own Phone or Device - BYOD | Verizon Wireless
and they'll send you a SIM card to use. Obviously you're not gonna be able to use anything but dumb ass Verizon phones, but that's the price you pay for the best coverage.
Just go ebay search for an Android Verizon phone, or there are gonna be BlackFriday deals this week too.
It's only affecting the G/Notes7's though.
Samsungs rapid charge has been around since Note4/G6, and i'm pretty sure the majority of the ppl who buy chargers, just buy the official bulkly ass Samsung rapid charger, if ever, most just use the one that comes in the box.

Thanks for the responses, sorry about the late reply.
As for the Nexus 5x on Google Fi, its likely both were an issue. I'd have a random issue at first with the service, but as the phone started to age, it seemed to get worse.
When you can't have a decent call with your supervisors at work or even your family, its time to change things up.

Question for those of you on Fi. I tried calling a local number today and didn't include the area code since it was the same as mine. The call goes to an area code on the other side of the state, so I wake up somebody at 1 am instead of calling the office I intended to. Has anyone else had this happen?

I'm curious, what do you guys do on your phones that make expensive phones worth it over inexpensive ones? I've got Metro PCS because $30 a month, and I'm just using the phone I got free for signing up. It annoys me a little that it doesn't really have enough memory for Hearthstone, but tbh I don't ever really have time to play it on my phone anyways. Do you find it worth it?

Anyone have experience with the 2016 Moto G4 or G4 Play? What about the Amazon version with ads? Are they as unobtrusive as the ads on the Kindle?

This is a little while ago but do you use the Android Beta program? When I updated to the beta ROM earlier this month the 5X hates wifi networks with a passion. Not just mine. It won't stay connected anywhere. Also Google Music just stops playing. YouTube, podcasts, twitch, everything else plays just fine, but Music acts like it doesn't know how to play a song. Either streaming or on downloaded library files. Probably won't do the beta thing anymore unless I had a second phone to play around with.
