Left front for years, so I could grab smaller items like keys and ID out of the right. Once I got a smart phone, I was grabbing it a lot more frequently than my keys, and I switched.

I’m an odd one, left back pocket with keys in back right pocket. Although in my defense part of that is because girls pants/jeans typically don’t have front pockets or are so small you can’t put anything bigger than a quarter into them.
Both my phones are in my right front pocket. I carry way to much crap on a daily basis..
Right front for phone/wallet combo, left for keys and headphone case, and side leg pocket for the dreaded work phone
For me it's always the back right pocket. Front left is wallet and keys. Front right is knife, pen, lighter, and chapstick. If i'm ever sitting down I'm usually gonna take my phone out so I never sit on it either.
A month ago I got a murse, my phone goes on it now asking with my wallet and keys and change. I can't go back.
Right pocket phone, left pocket wallet and Miyoo Mini.
Front left. Front right is keys, handkerchiefs and change (in the special smaller pocket-in-pocket thing).
Back right, slim leather wallet. Back left, usually nothing or "clean junk" that I want to throw out soon such as bills, tickets, etc.
In a populated area? Front right. Wallet in front left.
Outside a densely-populated area? Likely back right, because that is where my wallet went pre-COVID. It just feels natural, and easy to grab without any squirming.
Left front with small leather wallet (simple insert, non-fold). Dedicate that real-estate only to those two items and have no case on phone and no screen protector. Right front pocket gets all the rougher items: gum, knife, flashlight, POM, lighter, chapstick, keys when needed.
Left interior coat/jacket pocket for phone. I'm in SF, so always wear some kind of coat/jacket.
Right butt pocket, or in the purse if I'll be sitting down for a while.
I put my phone in my right pocket and my wallet in my left pocket. I almost never take my wallet out of my pocket so it gets relegated to the less convenient pocket.
it depends on the pants and how tight fitting they are. if they’re tighter i’ll usually have it in my rear left pocket. occasionally i’ll put it in my front right for easier access.
Wallet in the left, phone in the right, keys in the back right (chained to my belt).
Right handed, left front pocket, this is the way.
Front left for phone, screen inwards. Nothing else but phone.
Non-dominant hand holds your phone, so that's the pocket side where your phone should live.
EDIT:
A few people seem to be confused because apparently they use their phone one handed right from the start when it comes out of their pocket. With the size of phones these days i would guess that most people aren't using their phones one handed that way.
Personally I'll use my phone one handed if I'm stationary and after it's fully out of my pocket and securely in my hands, but if I'm moving around it would be drop-city if I just pulled it out of my pocket one handed and started tapping on it.
I hold it with my dominant hand, why would you hold it with your bad hand? That seems contra productive
I hold with non-dom hand and type with Dom finger
I hold and type with the same hand, why would you use another hand? I just tried typing like that and its impossible very slow and unprecise
Right butt pocket if I'm wearing jeans. Front right otherwise.
I'm right-handed, btw.
My phone is my wallet. It goes in my inside pocket where people aren't going to be able to pick it. I've played Skyrim. I know how pickpocketing works. /joke
I keep my phone in my front pocket, while my gun goes in my rear pocket. What do you mean by left and right pockets?
Front left since I use the tiny pocket inside the right pocket for my car keyfob.
Keyring, wallet, and earbuds go in the right pocket
Phone by itself in left front pocket, facing leg. Keys and sundry in right front, wallet in back right, receipts in back left.
Left pocket- I have pretty bad carpal tunnel in my right hand so putting it in my left lessens some strain.
Front right pocket for phone. I am interacting with it far more often than my wallet.
Goes in my left pocket, cause I always hold it in my left hand. That way I can use my right hand to run my apps.
My headphones' bluetooth receiver is on the right. Bluetooth performs very poorly at passing through the tissue of a human body (I think it has to do with all the water in there), so when I wear my headphones (always), my phone goes in right front pocket to minimize the path of the signal through my body.
(BTW, you should actually try this if your bluetooth devices suck. Position the transmitter and receiver so they don't go through your body. I promise you it improves things a LOT.)
Wallet and phone in the right pocket, keys in the left for me.
My phone has a wallet case, so it's all on one thing. It all goes in my left front pocket.
Same exact setup here lmao.
If I'm not wearing a sportcoat it goes in my back right pocket. If I am it goes in my inside left.
Phone in the front right pocket, wallet in the front left pocket, keys in the back pocket, earbuds in the watch pocket
As a bisexual i mean ambidextrous person I keep it in my left front pocket or right back pocket
Ambidextrous bi with a Pearl pfp?
I feel like I know you already 😏
