As the article says,; “But, as things stand, there is some doubt about whether the large, unfolded display will be of much practical benefit to a typical phone-user.”

But obviously there are some uses for which a larger screen would clearly be beneficial.

And there are many games, of course, that could be much better on a larger screen. In general, it’s the same benefits as being able to use a tablet instead of a phone.
