The Samsung Galaxy S III helped Samsung set a new quarterly earnings record |
Concentrating on mobile, Samsung shipped 58 million smartphones, 20 million of which were the latest and greatest Samsung Galaxy S III model. Another well received models was the Samsung GALAXY Note. The sequel to the phablet, the Samsung GALAXY Note II will be introduced later this month in the states and is expected to at least double the sales of the original model, reaching 20 million units sold. Profits in the mobile division doubled to 5 trillion won ($4.5 billion USD) in the July-September period, accounting for two-thirds of group profits. Revenue for the quarter is expected to be reported as 52 trillion won ($46.8 billion USD).
Earnings will be officially released on October 26th. Analysts are expecting strong fourth quarter numbers. Citigroup's Henry Kim expects a strong October-December period although he sees the profit margin on the telecommunications sector dropping 5% to 15% because of higher spending on marketing.

Yeah, because the Galaxy SIII and Note look so much like the iPhone, right?
Geesh, give me a break....

Yea.....I wanted a Samsung phone so bad because of bounce back effect, round corners and a couple of icons.
:/
As far as looking like one....really look at the entire iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy S phone. They really dont look alike. Stop believing everything you read on the web.

SS must thank Apple for the GS3 sales boost it got after the verdict and iPhone 5 launch. SS must think it can't have enough suing from Apple LOL.

This article indicates that Samsung made less profit than Apple even though they sold much more handsets...and many ppl may think Apple is better based on this but the way I see is that Apple is freaking expensive making a lot of magins without proper returns.
For example Iphone 4s 16GB was $849 AUD in Sydney Apple store when it came out and like 2 months ago the price was still $800 and yet many people still can't see the problem here..

Nice, but there is a ''small'' detail missed here: Their profit will be 7 - 1 = 6bln. And if they lose the next trial(which they probably will) Number will go even further underwater:)

Apparently, samsung may get the apple verdict overturned. More resources for them to gain control.
