“Samsung Electronics’ decreasing smartphone sales saw it post its first decline in annual profits for three years, a day after arch-rival Apple’s iPhone success helped it to post the biggest quarterly profit made by a public company,” reports The Independent. “Samsung - which has another version of its flagship Galaxy smartphone expected out this spring - saw revenues from its mobile division fall to 25 trillion won (£15.1 billion) in the final quarter, and full-year sales were down 21 per cent on a year earlier.”
