Is screen size in ration to the overall size of the phone really that big of a concern? I used to be a fan of the Samsung Notes (except for the 7, that went out with a BANG) because of their size, but realized that size of the screen isn't everything and went to a smaller phone, and am quite enjoying it. I have a secondary screen that shows me the notifications right above the main screen. I'm good.
