Samsung shipped 90 million phones in Q4, thanks to 'robust sales of the flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 edge'
This means that Samsung's profit from a phone sold trails Apple's significantly, which can be expected given that it also sells million of J-series and other low-end models, too. The reason Samsung sold so many phones compared to the 72 million in Q3? Well, "the mobile business saw its earnings increase year-on-year on the back of continued robust sales of the flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, as well as improved profitability in the mid-to-low end segment." There you have it, all those S7 and S7 edge phones that went as replacements for the Note 7, or as its Blue Coral alternative, haven't been shipped in vain.
