Hello, I have never been as confused with something as I am with phones. So many of them have this and don't have that. What I would like is a thin and small phone preferably 5'' or under which is fast enough for Youtube and browsing the web and has a 13MP camera or higher. I was looking at the S4 mini but it's outdated and expensive compared to much better phones but it's really small and good enough but it's not worth it to buy it when it's almost the price of an LG G3 here and the LG G3 is much better in every regard except it's kinda big. What would you guys recommend?

That's far too expensive for me.

what is your budget?
can you buy used?

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Thank you so much, I think I was looking at some Sony phones because of Sony and their cameras and all that but I found some worse ones in my country, but the Z3s and Z5s look amazing and everything.

It's actually thinner than the G4 but I did forget it's a 5.5'' screen. My bad. 

I have the Moto G3 and it's pretty reliable (Don't get the 8GB model though)

It's not thinner than the LG G3 I'm talking about and the SONY Z3/Z5 compact are the best thing I've found so far.

Yep I completely mid-wrote that. I meant the Moto G4 is thinner than the Moto G3. However, you're comparing budget phones against flagship ones here. The best is clearly going to be the Z5 compact.

I edit my posts a lot.

Yeah, they are kinda expensive but they're basically perfect for me and they are cheaper than the LG G3 on the used market.

I would avoid the LG G3 at this point since mobile phone tech moves fast and the LG G3 won't be supported any more.

Wait, can the batteries be removed in the SONY phones?

No. You can't have everything.
