Smart phones killed small phones. Really, a small smart phone runs into usability problems.
I loved my old Kyocera slider, but all it was good for was phone and SMS.
1" screen, phone is about the size of a credit card.

"Small smart phones run into usability problems" for you.
Samsung S4 Mini was fantastic for me. Still own a couple. I'd be happy with an updated version.

I'm actually using a Titan Pocket currently. Works well enough for me. The security updates are lagging behind that's getting me considering switching back, but I'm otherwise cautious how I use it.
It's a nice feeling device, and makes me wish they'd make more BlackBerry style phones with bigger displays and Android capability.
People see you whip the titan out and think "oh he's doing that rollback technology thing", then you use Android Pay and they really flip out lol.

Still using an S10e, & getting around 7-8 hrs SOT, great phone, perfect size, good cameras & screen, with the bonus of SD card support & a headphone jack..

I had to get the pro max because the 12 pro was getting too hard for me to read comfortably 😭😭
I just turned 40
I think the S23 is the perfect size, I wish that was the standard, with some larger ones for people who like that.

It's amazing that last year when I was looking for a new phone, the one I bought was one of the smallest I could find - asus zenfone. Same physical size as my precious sony, just a few grams heavier. I'm super happy with it and ny other phone seems super huge in comparison.
