Samsung’s latest quarterly report shows a record-breaking performance in the first quarter of 2025, driven largely by strong sales of its flagship Galaxy S25 series smartphones. The company’s revenue reached 79.14 trillion Korean won, a 10% increase from the same period last year.
The Samsung MX division, which handles the company’s mobile device business, generated 37 trillion Korean won in revenue and 4.3 trillion Korean won in operating profit. This success is attributed to the growing demand for the Galaxy AI experience and the company’s ability to control production costs effectively.
Factors Behind the Success
Several factors contributed to Samsung’s impressive performance:
- The Galaxy S25 series saw significant sales, helping to drive the company’s revenue.
- The Samsung MX division performed well, thanks to the popularity of the Galaxy AI experience and efficient cost management.
- The Device Solutions division, which handles chip semiconductor and memory business, generated 25.1 trillion Korean won in revenue.
The company is set to release the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13, 2025, in South Korea and May 30, 2025, globally. This new model is expected to be around 5.8mm thick.
Future Outlook
Despite the current success, Samsung acknowledges that predicting future performance is challenging due to economic uncertainty and rising international trade tensions. These factors could potentially slow down the economy and impact the company’s future results.
