One advantage is accessibility for people with limited vision. A folding phone can have about the same screen area as a small tablet, while still fitting in a pocket or handbag. A larger screen is immensely more comfortable to use if your font size and UI has been scaled up by 300%.

This only applies in a hypothetical future where someone figures out how to make a durable folding display though.

I have bad vision (something like -8), but phone is the device I don’t have any problem with. I just keep it at 10-15 cm from me eyes and I can use it very comfortably. Can’t say it about Laptop for example, not usable without glasses.
