On the other hand, Smartphone division reports $2.2 billion profitthe value is higher than in the third quarter of 2021. Samsung attributed the result to sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 foldable phones. While the company won’t comment on exact sales numbers, the company said the new models performed better than the previous generation.
According to Samsung the Galaxy S22 line also performed well. “Looking at the latest quarter, market demand for smartphones and wearables is projected to increase quarter-on-quarter due to year-on-year seasonal fluctuations, even after taking into account geopolitical issues and macroeconomic volatility,” Samsung said.
