My Sony Xperia compact thingy is slowly giving up.

I like it as it's water and dust proof, ideal for the workshop and attaching to the bike.

The camera is decent.

The GPS has started playing up which is a shame as I use it with komoot and other maps quite a lot when out and about.

What to replace it with? Another, newer Xperia or something else?

Mate recently picked up a Chinese thing for not a lot, but it's massive. Why are phones so big?

S10e

Waterproof*, 3.5mm jack, good camera, slick and fast, compact. Easy to get rid of Samsung overlay/crap software.

*it may be waterproof, but mine is now at the bottom of Sheildaig bay after an absent mindedness issue while sea kayaking....

Pixel 4a is quite compact, but not officially waterproof.

It's a great phone though.
