According to the article, there was no slip in Samsung sales. There was a slip in margins.

  They're being forced to reduce margins to keep sales up, so it's effectively the same thing. They can't make good enough phones for cheap enough.

    Or, the inverse, they were first to market (and the S series kind of was as the staple Android competitor to the iPhone for quite a while after Motorola and the Droid line dried up) and saw huge returns on that for a while, until competitors caught up.

  Samsung sell a range of devices, from cheap low margin product to the high margin Galaxy's. If they have started selling less Galaxy's and more cheap devices, this will have a big impact on their profits.
