A curved phone might fit better in a front pocket, curving around the leg. Especially a gigantic 6" screen like this one.

I can see how a curvature on the vertical axis (like what Samsung did) would help fit better with the shape of the thigh, but this phone is curving horizontally. It would just create a weird bulge in your pocket, wouldn't it?

I guess the difference between between a phone and a tablet is now 1 inch

Diagonal measurements are meaningless. I can make an infinity-inch screen that takes up no space. All "6 inch" means is "no dimension is larger than 6 inches".

I don't understand what you meant by that. It's going to take infinite space...

Whatever is `1000" long`, hardly "takes up no space". We can go on about theoretical size, etc. In practice 1000" is a lot and not possible to comfortably store in any way by an average person.
