Record earnings but below expectations for Samsung. The Korean giant closed 2012 with a fourth quarter of 4,6 billion euros in net profits, with a sensational increase of 76% thanks to the sale of smartphones, of which it has become the world leader to the detriment of Apple. The figure is excellent and follows what was expected by the company, but remains even below the predictions of financial analysts.
