Honestly I'd prefer a fatter phone. The dimensions of the early generation smartphones were in my opinion ideal, they fit in the hand well, it was easy to reach the whole screen with the thumb of the hand holding it, and there was enough meat for it to feel substantial without being heavy. In addition to packing more battery, a deeper phone would also allow better optics for the cameras and more freedom for antenna design. I don't really see the value of a larger screen which would justify giving this all up.
