Small cheaper phones

I was very lucky to recently find a second hand Pixel 4a on Ebay for £60 with good battery life, but I dropped it after like 3 weeks of ownership and broke the screen despite having it in a case with a glass screen protector, haha. I am back to a Pixel 1 (battery life is like 3 hours now) trying to find a replacement. Unfortunately, there is just nothing new in my price range with a smaller screen and I am struggling to find a second hand Pixel 4a for a decent price again. It's ridiculous to be paying £100 for a 3 year old phone when the battery is likely to suck. The best option I have found so far is a Poco M5s, which has a marginally smaller screen than competitors, but is now sold out and too large anyway really. Ideally I would find a new handset for a max of £150 (as I am prone to breaking screens) with a smaller screen. Seems impossible these days. It makes no sense that Xiaomi or Motorola are not offering a smaller device when this used to be the standard. I personally don't understand how people cope with these huge devices. I cycle a lot and need pocketable. Any suggestions?
