Profits will not fall because of the huge success of S7 and S7 edge
If what happened Note 7 would have been record profits

    The Note 7 debacle is probably just karma getting back to them for hiring people to falsify problems with HTC phones.

        Samsung= Best flagships on the market
        They have at least not been moved to,
        Tax fraud
        Ebook price rigging
        Possibly sabotaging some ones component factory.

        Samsung just get on with gettin on, and the truth is ya know, there isn't one tech company who wishes they weren't Samsung. These figures are in SPITE of the Note costs, plus any potentialy lost sales, without this, well, we'll call it a "hiccup", that the US paid media have revelled in , and won't let drop, (Wonder who benefits in US, not.), what a quarter.

          It's not just a saturated market, but phones are also becoming increasingly commoditised, not good for companies that rely heavily on branding.

              Smartphones only make up 30% of Samsung's net profits.
              The other 70% comes from memory and displays, which Samsung absolutely dominates.
              The smartphone market is saturated and Apple will be doomed unless it finds a new growth engine. And it cant be in memory and displays. Apple will most likely suffer an IBM-style collapse.

                Ill take what i said from chinese manufacturers. They may be brittle and support is 0%, and Google might have terminated the Nexus line and replaced it with a phone many dont like, but dayum this Samsung monopoly for low quality products .... -.-!
