(Android Central)

The story you were told is a lie. The Galaxy S8 doesn`t mean redemption for Samsung — it simply means more of the same. There`s definitely something about being reminded that the Emperor has no clothes. Maybe it was because I was midway through my own little take on the Galaxy S8. ... It`s a beautiful piece of glass and software, the phone Samsung needed to make — the phone it had to make — bringing it back from the fiery depths like a Phoenix rising from the ashes to return the company to glory and ...

To fulfill the `redemption` narrative, the Galaxy S8 needs to do only one thing — not explode in very small numbers.
