Once phones got relatively big (i.e. 'phablet' ceased to exist as a concept because that size was just 'phone' now) I switched to using a 7/8" tablet with my SIM in it as my primary portable device (Nexus 7 and now Galaxy Tab A6). Means I have to carry it in my jacket pocket or a side pocket on my combats but the bigger phones weren't comfortable in my trousers' top pocket anyway so for me at least the trade-off is well worth it.
