Is there a 5-6 inch pad available? If not, then that's not an alternative, can't shove a 10 inch tablet into my pocket. And while it's called a phone, the primary function for many (dare I say most?) is definitely not doing voice calls, hell my phone app icon isn't even on the homescreen anymore, that's how little I use this device for phone calls and I use it for hours every day otherwise.

Android tablets? Several.

I'd be interest to know what those are. Smallest I've been able to find is 8 inches.

Hmm, I was going to get back to you with a list, but it seems most of the 6-inchers have been discontinued. The Amazon Fire 6 would have been the most prominent example.
There are some, but none of them would be suitable for consumer use.
I stand corrected!

Samsung Note series of phones. I've been using them since the Note 3 and could not imagine using any other device without a stylus.
Yes, it's primarily a phone by market segmentation. But it's a small tablet by features.
