I don't think it matters. I've accidentally answered calls when
attempting to pull the phone out of my pocket when seated. The pressure
of the screen against my leg, and the angle at which I had to pull the
phone out, resulted in answering the call, to the caller hearing a phone
rustling inside a pocket and immediately hanging up.

Any phone which does not have something covering the screen or buttons
to prevent such contact, is going to be susceptible to this; especially
with the sizes of phones today. I never had any such problems from my
older slider phones, even with larger answer/hangup buttons on the
front.
