Samsung Electronics released its first‑quarter results, showing the mobile and network units netting KRW 38.1 trillion in revenue and KRW 2.8 trillion in operating profit. Sales climbed from last year’s KRW 37 trillion, driven by premium Galaxy models and cost cuts.

The device‑solutions arm exploded, posting KRW 81.7 trillion in revenue—a 86% jump quarter‑on‑quarter—and KRW 53.7 trillion in operating profit. Memory sales hit a record, fueled by high‑value AI chips and new HBM4/HBM4E launches for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin.

Display output slipped, with Samsung Display reporting KRW 6.7 trillion in revenue and a modest profit, as small‑screen demand faltered. OLED gaming monitors, however, saw robust sales. Exynos and ISOCELL units reported gains, targeting volume‑tier smartphones and 200 MP sensors.

Overall, Samsung topped its Q1 record with KRW 133.9 trillion in consolidated revenue, a 43% rise from Q4 2025, and an all‑time high operating profit of KRW 57.2 trillion. The results confirm the company’s resilience amid a tightening memory market.
