Default Samsung just surpassed Apple in smart phone sales!

Samsung sold 27million units during the 3Q alone (Apple sold 17million units) and earned 13.5 billion dollars, operating net profit is 2.5 billion dollars.

Samsung's mobile division profits are up about 30% from last year.

It's the other divisions, specially the Apple component supplies that are shrinking...
