I'm curious about that and if the LoadSubImage can effectively be used in sprite Animation creation?

Depends on the target platform the 1024 x 1024 limit is a best practice for Android devices as many devices will not handle larger images.

Yes you can use the subimages to construct animations, simply load the subimages and use AddSpriteAnimationFrame to build up the animation.

In most cases you will end up with a little more code to load the animations but you can save big on memory if you pack the Atlas images well.

Yes, it is device specific of course. The best method would be to have several versions of the image 1024 and 2048 for example and use getDeviceName() to decide which image to use.
