> Given that my last 3 phones all died when I dropped them
Might I recommend a phone case? I don't think I've ever heard of a phone breaking more than the screen visually cracking after dropping, even without a case, besides I think one time my cousin was repairing a phone whose touchscreen didn't work correctly anymore. I'm sure it happens but the amount of luck to have that three times in a row seems odd.
As for most of them being too large (especially the cheapest ones), I agree, that's why I bought a smaller phone second hand.
