Remaining a leading manufacturer of smart phones and mobile phones, the South Korean company Samsung notes that its success in the secondary and primary market segments market is poor.
Samsung expects operating profit in the second quarter decreased by 24% compared to the same period last year. Revenue was expected to decline by 9.4%. According to the Samsung, bad quarter results due to toughened competition in the markets of China and Europe. The Korean manufacturer has accumulated stocks of unsold smartphones secondary and primary levels. Due to the rate of migration to smartphones with support for 4G networks in China, consumers have begun to refuse to buy 3G devices earlier than expected by this manufacturer.
Tablets Samsung also sold not as active as we would like the manufacturer. These devices have a longer life cycle compared with smartphones, consumers are less likely to change them. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple and Samsung now control in the aggregate not more than 47% of the market, although more recently, their share exceeded 50%.
