Samsung has just announced its results for the third quarter 2013, the figures show an increase as expected operating results for the manufacturer. However, analysts question whether the company can do better next quarter, because the competition is very fierce indeed in the mobile device industry.
From July to September, the Korean manufacturer profits reached 10.16 trillion Won (about 9.56 billion U.S. dollars). This is an increase of 7% compared to the previous quarter in which the company had made a profit of 9.53 trillion Won (8.97 billion dollars). The biggest source of income is of course the division and mobile technology company, reported its smartphones with 6.70 trillion won ($ 6.3 billion). It is interesting to note that the increase in profits from the mobile division of Korea is that the company offers a wide range of Android devices, as well as entry-level premium
But it is in the field of manufacturing microprocessors that Samsung posted its highest growth. Particularly through its DRAM and NAND mobile. This division reported 2.06 trillion Won ($ 2.45 billion) this quarter, twice more than the same period last year, representing the highest profit in the last three years. Samsung expects shipments of microprocessors remain strong, and that demand will increase even as builders try to sell more devices to the approach of the Christmas holidays.
This is the highest profit ever made by Samsung. But analysts wonder if Samsung will be able to sustain such growth, making the link with Nokia that has dominated the market before falling. Samsung faces tough competition and the firm is well aware, as it provides a lower growth in the field of smartphones in the coming months. Question the holiday season season during which the competition between manufacturers of smartphones increases dramatically.
