Pdf is a fixed, fairly large format.
I use a 10.3 inch EInk tablet for this.
In my opinion, all smartphones are too small for this purpose, which means that they are cumbersome to use

@ottischwenk: I agree. Use a 10" + tablet. Some also have phones builtin. A Lenovo at about €140 is very good value. I have a 256 G byte SD card in mine (now about €40).
Most book scans do work on an 7.8" Lifebook Mars, but not old magazines.
Many A5 size or smaller manuals work on the 7" Libra.
My 6" phone is a skinnier aspect ratio, so useless for every PDF.
PDF magazines need the 10" tablet. Some old multi-column ones are tricky even on that due to small print.
