Resolution issues when printing large format photos

Euh… what? Really?
Printing resolution has nothing to do with printing size
but all to do with distance.
The same picture at
- arms length: A4 @ 300 ppi
- across the street billboard: A0 and larger @ 72 ppi or less when further away
Light is free… capturing it is not!
I guess most people here use professional cameras but has anyone tried making large prints from a phone camera?
I had some shots I captured on holiday but I only had my phone available. I'm hoping to make some large prints but I don't know how well they'd look at size (i'm hoping something like 50x30 inches)
