A Samsung executive revealed during a conference call with investors and journalists that the company had sold 90 million smartphones in the quarter ending December 2016 aside from 8 million tablets. The executive predicted that sales of smartphones and 2G phones will likely increase in the first quarter of this year while decreased demand will cause a drop in tablet sales. It was also said that smartphone sales will reach the high 80-percent range in the first three months of this year.
The executive also reiterated Samsung's smartphone strategy for 2017 in the conference call which involves bringing features like water/dust resistance and fingerprint sensors to low-end and mid-range devices.
