Wrap around screens will soon make it possible to have more screen space on phones while keeping the device relatively small.

But without borders, video walls may become more popular for residences. Many 40" monitors are close to $300. So it would be possible to build a 120" video wall for $2700 in video monitors, plus a computer controller.

They'll also make it possible to completely screw up your phone accidentally, and make it almost completely impossible to just hold the phone without activating something in it.

That was my concern too Nareed unless they make the edges non-active which of course means it is not really a bigger useful screen.
