Thanks for the comment, but in addition to being a little large for my tastes, the Pixel is out of my price range. If I wanted to pay for a high-end phone I'd probably go for the iPhone 7 (even though I prefer android), because the form factor is perfect--very small and thin.

There are a number of new and affordable 4.5'' GSM phones, like the Samsung Galaxy A3. I'd love to find something similar that works on Verizon, but I'm not having any luck.
