If I put my 5" nexus 5 alongside my iPad mini 2, I can see that the phone is the same height (when the ipad is in landscape orientation), but the screen is now about 3x wider. Don't kid yourself that there isn't much difference, the difference is enormous, otherwise everyone would be carrying 6"+ phones! but they don't because they're huge.
You should be able to bag a mini 2 with retina for £200 or thereabouts second hand, I'd definitely recommend this over the original mini which is slower and has a crap screen.
