I replaced a Nexus 5 which (sadly) broke with a Moto X (2014) a year or so ago. It's 5.2" diagonal I believe but the ergonomics of the smallish bezels and curved back have made it feel like a good size so far. Maybe I've just grown accustomed to it but I never felt like it was huge, as I did the first time I went from an older phone with a 3" diag screen to a 4.3" one. I think a big part of it is the fact that many users spend most of their time browsing the web (easier on the eyes with a big screen), using mobile apps and games (same thing), and typing messages (easier to use onscreen keyboard with two thumbs when the buttons aren't tiny). The bigger phones look and feel weird when you're holding this big slab up to your head but I don't think I've used mine to make a phone call in a month now. I don't wear baggy pants but these 5-5.5" phones always fit in my pockets. Even in slim jeans I have no issue with the Moto X and I think some of that has to do with the curved back. The flat screen sits against my leg and the curve means there aren't any sharp edges sticking out. Other that not needing a new phone yet, it's something that's kept me from buying one of the newer Nexus 6P phones. I really like the feature set and it looks nice enough but it seems like it's maybe at a point where that pocketability will suffer.
