South Korean tech giant Samsung said on Tuesday operating profit likely dropped 30.5 percent in the January-March period to 5.9 trillion won ($5.44 billion) — nonetheless beating expectations。周二，韩国科技巨子三星标明其1到3月的运营获利可认为5.9万亿韩元(54.4亿美元)，降低30.5%。尽管如此，其营收仍然高于商场预期。

The guidance, released ahead of full first-quarter figures due around the end of April, compared with a 5.3 trillion won mean estimate of 41 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The company enjoyed an 8.5 trillion won profit a year earlier。第一季度的一切数据将在4月底前计算结束，而该陈述的发布早于这一时刻。汤森路透I/B/E/S查询的41名分析师给出的均匀获利预估值为5.3万亿韩元。一年前，三星的获利是8.5万亿韩元。

Samsung’s smartphone line has previously been a strong profit driver for the company, but the runaway success of Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus has had

a serious impact. Consumers have increasingly eschewed Samsung’s plastic phones in favour of the new, larger Apple devices。此前，智能手机产品线一向是三星公司获利的重要来历，但苹果iPhone 6和iPhone 6 Plus不可以阻挡的成功给其带来了严峻影响。花费者初步扔掉三星的塑料外壳手机，转而选择标准更大的新款苹果手机。

Samsung has responded by radically redesigning its forthcoming Galaxy S6 flagship smartphone, which is due to launch this week。完全从头方案的旗舰产品Galaxy S6将变成三星反击的武器，这款手机将于本周发布。
