Despite appearing unnecessary at first, the curved screen did seem to be visually appealing. 20 months after, Samsung has finally turned the idea into reality with a Note Edge phone, and much later on, after a lot of revamping and revisions, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. This brand new smartphone simply is Samsung's way of showing determination, confidence and belief in their very own concept despite all the flak, negativity and disapproval it has drawn.
Were all of Samsung's efforts at creating new categories and products successful? No. Not all of Samsungs experimental devices and other products turned out to be successful.
Of course not; many of them flamed out commercially and frustrated early-adopter buyers. A lot of them were failures, did not fare well in the market, and left a lot of early buyers frustrated.
Samsung's success at the moment, however, is widely believed to be the fruits of their business strategy, which is to openly develop their own gadgets through selling them. Samsung, however, has proved that they are very much capable of fixing their errors, gaining new insights from them, and the ultimately, delivering better outputs as a result.
A few dissatisfied clients, after all, while may be considered as a "collateral damage", are the perfect ingredients for launching something which could be potentially successful.
The company has had the balls to experiment wildly on a lot of gadgets it has launched, like the Gear watch, which they equipped with a camera, that despite seeming impractical, could be a great addition after all, and that user's thoughts could give the company credible opinions to apply in future projects.
