The weak sales of the Galaxy S9 hit the Samsung wallet: "WSJ"

The stagnant sales of Galaxy S9 and the slowdown in the sale of mobile processors will hit Samsung's revenue in the second quarter of the year, according to a report by Wall Street Journal ]

According to the US newspaper, the South Korean giant is about to get $ 13.2 billion in profits over the period, an increase of 5% over the second quarter of last year. However, growth is lower than expected by badysts.

Second quarter results close a record series for Samsung. The company had four consecutive quarters more than the previous quarter, but that ended when, in the second quarter of this year, it did not surpbad US $ 14.060 million in the first period.

Analysts cited by the Journal claim that it will be very difficult for Samsung to return to its previous set of records . While their mobile chips and their TVs are sold as rolls, mobile phone users are waiting longer to switch to a new model, reaching one of Samsung's main business.

The Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 Plus, Samsung's latest high-end phones, will distribute 31 million units in 2018, according to the WSJ . This figure is below the Galaxy S7 – Samsung's best-selling phone – which has distributed approximately 50 million units.

Apple will give another blow to Samsung's pocket this year, say badysts cited in the report. While Apple predicts higher sales of its LCD phone than models with OLED display, Samsung will be badigned to be the exclusive manufacturer of OLED displays for Apple. According to other reports, Apple will request LG OLED screens thus reducing orders to Samsung.
