Samsung Electronics' first-quarter performance surpassed expectations, with revenue surging 10% year-on-year to a new record of 79.1 trillion won and operating profit rising 1.5% to 6.7 trillion won. This growth was primarily fueled by robust sales of the Galaxy S25 smartphone and a turnaround in the memory chip business. Notably, the mobile device division's profit soared 23%, reaching a four-year high, whereas the chip division's profit declined by 42%. Despite these achievements, the company cautioned about uncertainties arising from global trade tensions and an economic slowdown.
