Question: Since when and how has Samsung been "leading the way in mobile innovation"?

The Galaxy S3? It's still the most awarded and largest sold smartphone out there, i believe.
They've had OLED displays in their phones since the S2 I think 7 years ago.
They have retinal scanner for biometrics in their phones
The note series introduced actually usable stylus.
Also isn't a folding screen a big innovation?
There's a lot that Samsung has done that's innovative.

It's just marketing. Though I'd argue Samsung has tended to integrate new tech sooner than others on many occasions, they've just not always been that great at its implementation. No one has really "led the way" in major tech innovations in phones since Apple nailed the touchscreen, app-driven experience with the OG iPhone. Since then everyone has just been iterating. This extends to tablets.
You probably have a huge sized phone in your pocket right now. They did that first while everyone laughed at them and even made commercials mocking them. Now everyone else cant get these phablets on the market fast enough.
Same for OLED displays. Everyone is rushing to implement them on their flagships now, and Samsung was first.
They were also one of the firsts along with HTC pushing for Higher resolution displays while others were telling you that your eyes couldnt see anything beyond a retina display anyway. Now everyones switched from 4:3 ratios and is running higher resolution displays on their high end flagship models.
Curved displays, folding displays, stylus uses for phones... All of that stuff they were doing it first...
So yeah. They can have that claim because its true. Everyone pretends like that stuff doesn't matter once everyone adopts it, but there was a first large phone with a curved display, stylus and OLED screen options and displays with higher resolutions with NFC compatibility and VR support. Its only "normal" now because others came around and adopted it.

Samsung is a group of crazed goblin inventors that throws everything they can at the wall to see what will stick. Sometimes they are brilliant, other times they are just mad and cause explosions (see the Note 7)
Apple is a group of pretentious elves obsessed with minimalistic beauty riding off of their past successes and slowly ignoring the downfall of their culture
That's the best comparison I can think of.

Samsung's design philosophy is 'measure once, cut annually'
I actually don't remember that phone.
I assume it came before the Note?
All the attention seemed to be on the note as the first phablet but that could also just be how I am remembering things.
