The South Korean Samsung can close the fourth quarter of 2011 by signing the best balance presented so far. According to information from the Reuters agency, the Asian firm could have registered sales of no less than 35 million phones during the last three months of the year just ended.
The translation of this figure into hard money would be $ 4,100 million - more than 3,144 million euros, at the current exchange rate. These figures would place growth for this period approximately 25 percent above the data registered previously, putting the manufacturer even closer to Nokia, thus anticipating a truly competitive 2012 in the solitary leadership that both companies will maintain during this period. year - taking into account the successful strategy that the Finnish firm is showing with the help of its Asha and Lumia terminals, in addition to what is to come.
The income with which the Korean company would have nurtured its coffers would not only come from the sale of terminals itself, but would be complemented in a good percentage by the supply of components.
And is that as you already know, the Seoul-based firm is a provider of OLED and AMOLED screens, as well as processors and memories, so that the sales of devices from other manufacturers would also have had a part dedicated precisely to Samsung, favoring its presence in the market.
So much so that one company analysts Solomon Investment & Securities, Lim Do-ri, would have ensured he told Reuters that "the part devoted to smart phones is now primarily responsible for the growth, which has also been endorsed by the supply business ".
In any case, until next Friday it will not be clear if Samsung's accounts will be as flattering as the specialists consulted by the French news agency predict or will fall below these predictions.
By then, on the other hand, we could know the sales figures of the manufacturer's star terminals for this year, such as the Samsung Galaxy S2, which several months before the end of the period set by the company had already met the mark that was imposed. the manufacturer himself: 10 million units sold.
