Samsung posted his earnings report for Q1 2025, which revealed that the sale of strong Galaxy S25 forced the company to a record quarter at all times. In the January March period, the KRW 79.14 trillion ($ 55.7 billion) recorded revenue, which increased by 10 % year by year. Operating profit RW reached 6.7 trillion (7 4.7 billion), which is about 1.5 % higher than the same period last year.
The Samsung MX (Mobile Experience) Division earned a profit KRW 37 trillion ($ 26 billion) and KRW 4.3 trillion ($ 3 billion). This performance was fueled due to the demand for the latest Galaxy AI experience as well as “capacity to increase cost” and some components reduction.
Samsung aims to maintain strong flagship sales in the next quarter, as it recognizes the weak climate challenge. The Galaxy S25 Edge is reportedly launched on May 13 and May 30 internationally launched. The company also confirmed that it would increase its AI lineup to the Galaxy A series through “terrible intelligence”.

The DS Division, which is responsible for the semiconductor and memory chips, took another major part of the revenue, which includes the KRW 25.1 trillion ($ 17.6 billion) tomorrow. However, overall income has affected the average sales prices and export control over AI chips have affected HBM sales.
Samsung said it is difficult to predict future performance between growing economic uncertainty and global trade tensions. The economic growth is slowing down, and if this uncertainty is decreasing, the Korean company’s performance should improve in the second half of 2025.
