While LG’s mobile division is losing money, Samsung has announced that its Mobile Communications Business reported an operating profit of 630 billion won ($532.98 million) for the second quarter of 2010. Samsung sold 63.8 million phones during the quarter – a 22% increase compared to Q2 2009. 30% of the handsets sold were touchscreen-enabled: this means about 19 million Samsung touchscreen phones were shipped worldwide during the quarter.
For Q3 2010, Samsung plans to further increase its smartphone / touchscreen phone market share. The Galaxy S (running Android) and the Wave (running Bada) series have both been successful until now and they’ll surely help Samsung make a lot of money. Both the Wave S8500 and the Galaxy S are already available in lots of important markets around the world. The Galaxy S is bound to be a major hit especially in the US, where all four major carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile) are carrying different versions of it.

Samsung has officially announced a new rugged phone (in Sweden): the Samsung E2370 Xcover . Although this is just an entry-level device, it has an outstanding capability: its battery can last up to 67 days (2 months) in stand-by, or up to 22 hours in talk-time mode – Philips Xenium phones are so yesterday now, with their ridiculous 1 month of stand-by time. The Xcover is IP54-certified, thus being dust and splash resistant. The phone weighs 115 and it’s quite bulky (19mm thick). It features GSM/EDGE connectivity, a 128 x 160 pixels TFT display, Bluetooth, FM radio, VGA photo camera, 5MB of internal memory, and MicroSD card support (up to 2GB).

Samsung has announced the launch of Samsung Galaxy Apollo . The Galaxy Apollo is now featured on Samsung UK’s website, next to the Galaxy S and the Wave S8500 - which probably means that it, too, has a Super AMOLED display.
Samsung says nothing about the features of the Galaxy Apollo. However, these are likely similar to the ones of the Korea-bound Galaxy A, including: Android 2.1, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP camera, 8GB of internal memory, and 800MHz processor. The Samsung Galaxy Apollo is “coming soon” to the UK, although it’s not clear yet just how soon.
