I know there are lots of use cases for a bigger screen. None of them apply to me, that's all. I don't watch TV on my phone (I have a 47" TV for that), I don't read books on my phone (I have books for that), I don't game on my phone (I have a desktop PC for that, although I do have a couple of timewasters installed and haven't gamed properly in years). I do use the web on my phone but only if I don't have my laptop to hand, such as when I'm out and about.
I have everything I need to do all I need so I don't need a tablet.

There are lots of use cases for having a larger screen. I would take a tablet over a phone for almost any application - watching video, reading books, gaming and just using the web for starters.

Very easy to see how that could work in real life. Love it. You can imagine the next step is one that completely curls away so could be the width of two or three pencils when folded. Like a scroll.
Love it.

Foldable seems more practical to me w/r to ease of use, durability, power consumption, ease of manufacturing etc.
I fear it is one of those things that is "too clever by half", unless they were using this purely to promote the brand, in which case it is just clever enough.

Its pretty elegant and avoids the crease issue that I'm sure will affect lifetime of folding screens, however... I can't help but think , is it really necessary?

Although you couldn't put a screen protector or case on these devices.
