Samsung's 'unbox your phone' event gave us a phone that's still a box

Before Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 to the world, it teased the audience with a device that would break the conventions of the traditional smartphone. The event's pre-roll animation showed an enormous 1980s brick phone morphing into a 1990s-era flip-phone, which in turn evolved into a modern smartphone. That device then exploded beyond its frame and summoned the event's tagline: "Unbox your phone." When the event started, however, Samsung didn't reveal a revolution in smartphone design -- it showed the world another glass slab with a gorgeously large touchscreen. Except this one has smaller bezels.
