During the first quarter, Samsung launched its latest lines of flagship smartphones called the S23 series, which gave its mobile division a boost.
Revenue at its mobile business grew 22% versus the previous quarter to 30.74 trillion won, but was down 2% versus the same period last year. Operating profit came in at 3.94 trillion won, up 3% year-on-year.
Samsung was helped by sales of its highest priced smartphone — the $1,200 S23 Ultra.
