A N connector is designed for 1KW power and is half an inch in diameter :)

It seems difficult to find the exact type of this connector even if it's
present on a high number of phones.
It may be a MC-Card, Hirose MS-147 is also probable:

You might find a short pigtail that converts this connector to SMA, then a
more classical SMA-anything , maybe SMA-N or SMA-BNC followed by BNC-N.
