After breaking my beloved Huawei P10 Plus last week and awaiting a repair/replacement (I left it on top of my car and drove off [/facepalm] ) I feel it will be written off and a replacement will need to be sought. It's going to be hard replacing it as I genuinely used all of my phones features, even the infrared sensor remote app, so will need something similar.

I'm a fan of large phones but feel the smaller ones are being neglected in favour of biggerer is betterer wars between companies as of late. I felt the 5.5 inch screen of my P10+ was adequate and would purchase a flagship with minimal bezels if the same screen size were available in a heartbeat. Sony were the last to offer the smaller flagships but seems they've dropped them too in favour of 21:9 aspect ratio behemoths.

Obviously I don't want anything smaller than 5.5 inch but the screen with smaller bezels would just fit in the hands so much better and would probably offer incredible battery life. Travelling around a little has really made me appreciate the smaller sizes.

Maybe I'm asking for too much and those days are long gone?

Have a look at the Samsung S10e. I think its about 5.8" which sounds big but its supposed to be quite a small handset overall owing to the tiny bezels.

Have you had a look at the Nokias of late?

Probably not as feature rich as the P10, but Android One means 2 years of updates (from release). So far I've been getting monthly updates on my 7.1.

The s10e sounds like a good shout, has pretty much all I’d need, bar the dual sim feature which is required as I’d rather not carry 2 phones.

I’ve been a massive Huawei fan since using the Mate S, then moving onto p9 and p10+.

Nokia would be ideal, but if I’m in that realm, then the OnePlus handsets aren’t far off.

I'm a big fan of the OnePlus 6T. Not a "true" flagship but mine has been pretty much faultless. Probably a bit big though...
My wife has a Huawei P20 (not Pro) and she loves it.

Funny you say that as my wife too has a P20 and wont part with it. It's a very decent size.
