I used to hate curved phone screens, but now I find myself missing them

I remember the day Samsung showcased its novel Galaxy Note Edge smartphone to the world in the fall of 2014. It was yet another large phablet-sized handset from the South Korean tech giant, but with a bold twist: it featured a display panel with a distinctive ‘edge’ curvature on its right-hand side. At the time, I didn’t think much of the Note Edge; it was yet another experimental Samsung phone, but with a gimmicky proposition that, in my estimation, wouldn’t stick the landing.
