How do they carry these bricks? There is a research paper [1] that says 60% of men prefers to carry phone in their pocket and 13% with belt clip. This was old however and may be it's changed now?

Easy to explain: Users don't really know what they want. Nobody likes the idea of changing their ways before finding a good reason to do so.

Every male that I know that has a Note-sized smartphone said, before having one in their hands, that those things where too big for them. Now, none of them would go back to small screens.

To give a counterpoint, I have been unhappy with each successive size increase of my phone for the reasons listed. I'm sure there are people who are happier with a larger device, but I don't think the issue is so cut and dried.
