Thanks, but no thanks.

Oh come on... 6.3" may be way too big for you but not others. Phones are thin enough and have a small enough bezel they can fit into most pants. Although you will have to give up your skin tight jeans! lol
As far as I can tell, USB C is where things are heading. It is also backwards compatible although you might need an adapter. A minor inconvenience.
My Note Edge has fast charging. I've had it over a year. no problem with battery. Although unlikely to happen, a phone battery that dies in 6 months would be covered by warranty anyway.

My biggest concern would be how hackable the phone is as I would like to root it and modify it to my liking. But your concerns are waaaay too rooted in antiquarian thinking...
