Suggestions for a new cell phone

My iPhone SE got the horrible update last week. Now, a week later I'm ready to use it for target practice. I've spent the last few days searching online for a new phone that fits the way I live, and I'm having no luck. I don't need a bunch of useless high-tech crap, but I need exactly what I need..........not close enough.

so, here's what I'm looking for in a new smart phone...........Waterproof to at least 10 feet, impact resistant to 20 feet (padded case with screen protector), good camera and of course it needs internet access for email, banking and shopping. Now here's the kicker, UNDER 6 inches. 5 to 5 1/2 inches would be ideal. It has to fit in a shirt pocket.

I've tried flip phones, they're too fragile. I went through 3 in a month. I'm so pissed with Apple I won't get another iPhone. Pixel's are too big, same with Samsung. Any ideas?

My last two have been refurbished from Back Market. They both been very good to me. you’re just gonna have to find something or not have a phone because the old stuff won’t work eventually. I buy apart as old as I can get. But I want the big screen and lots of memory. And I don’t need the newest greatest things. I have an iPhone 8 Plus. 256 GB. It was somewhere between 100 and $200. Refurbished with a year warranty.

@Jonjdw I've solved my phone problem already. I figured out how to dump all the new features from my iPhone and get it back to pretty much how I like it

@sgoodroe good, but the information can be for the future. Just like cars eventually there won’t be old ones left and we will have to deal with the newer stuff.
