Does Sprint offer a compact Android device?

[coalesce99]

I don't want the iPhone SE. And, I don't want a phone with the dimensions (length and width) of a Kleenex box.

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. I'm thinking of "upgrading" to a Nexus 5.

But even the Nexus 5...it came out all the way back in late 2013.

I know Sprint doesn't currently offer a compact Android phone. Was there ever one since the Nexus 5? Like in 2013 or 2014, that's more powerful than the Nexus 5.

If not, that's fine. I love my Nexus 7 (2013). I'm sure I'll like the Nexus 5.

Thanks!

Welcome to the site!

Would the Nexus 5x work? Released in late 2015 and it's 5.2 inches compared to the 5.0 inch Nexus 5.

I don't think Sprint sold it directly, but a Nexus 5x bought from Google works on all 4 big carriers.

I thought about the Nexus 5x. I also thought about the Pixel I went up to the Verizon store to play with it a little. Those are both more than 1/4 inch longer than the Nexus 5, and both more expensive. We'll see.

Moto G4 Play - less then a year old, $149 new, 16GB/2GB RAM, and the length & width are in between the Nexus 5 and 5x.

I don't think there are many other sub 5 inch phones for that low of a price that will work on Sprint.

Forgive my ignorance, but which is more powerful? The Moto G4 play is on the left, the Nexus 5 on the right.

Based on the benchmarks here the Nexus 5 is a little faster.

I like the idea of having a phone free of bloatware, also...

Just a quick suggestion, don't get a 16 GB, splurge for 32. 16 may be enough but that's not a lot of space.
