Thanks for all the research!

I had already checked out the Palm, but it doesn't have a micro-SD slot, and since I want to load it up with music and books, the lack of some sort of expansion memory slot is kind of a deal-breaker for me. Music and books are the two things I loved my old Samsung Galaxy Players for, and I have a lot of books and music that need to live on an SD card . Sigh - otherwise it seems as if it would be great, and refurb/renewed ones aren't too horribly expensive.

I'm also a little chary of ZTE, given their dicey technology export shenanigans, but I'll check out the other two. The Samsung sounds promising - I seem to live in the Samsung universe a lot, and am currently using my husband's old S3 as a placeholder, but it's old and slow, and its Android is so old that a lot of stuff gets messed up on it.

I was also thinking about the BLU Advance A4 with a 4" screen, $40 at Amazon, but it doesn't get great reviews. And it's only Android 6. Decisions, decisions...

Thanks again!

Tracfone LG Rebel 4 4G LTE Prepaid Cell Phone $30

All run Android 8. I'd watch for sales or codes.

Of course, if you really want a tiny screen, the revived Palm has a 3.3" screen. It also runs Android 8.1. It's pricey, though.
