upgrade from Samsung Galaxy s3 mini?

[startreksuite]

Hi everyone!
I am trying to help my wife upgrade her Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. She would prefer it to be small, and about $60. I purchased a 4 mini which was an improvement, but was open to suggestions for another Verizon smartphone. Thanks in advance!

you can search for the Xperia XZ1 Compact it's similar (in size), and you get a good processor
