All thanks to their Galaxy range of tablets and mobile phones ...

"Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (KSC:005930) last year established itself as the new leader in both global smartphone sales and global feature phone sales.  The South Korean firm is also second only to California OEM Apple, Inc. (AAPL) in profitability.

Smartphones are not the only market dominated by Samsung.  The company also is on top of the heap in the DRAM and display markets.  Samsung's revenue came in just a bit lower than its 50T won forecast, at 47T won ($41.4B USD) in an earnings preview forecast aired late this week.

Earnings were driven, in part, by a highly successful international launch of the Galaxy S III smartphone.  Nho Geun-chang, analyst at HMC Investment Securities in Seoul, predicts sales of 19 million Galaxy S III smartphones for the June-ending quarter, in a statement to Reuters."
