Samsung reported record first-quarter profits boosted by a surge in sales of its Galaxy smartphones as it outsold Apple’s iPhone and became the world’s top mobile phone maker.
Net profit nearly doubled to 5.05 trillion won (£2.76bn) for the three months to the end of March, with more than 70% of Samsung Electronics’ operating profit coming from its mobile businesses.
A 41-megapixel Nokia smartphone was among the new technology on show during the opening day of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
