In 2010, Samsung Electronics reinforced our market leadership by achieving sales of 280 million mobile phones worldwide,
up 23% over 2009 and a double-digit increase in operating profits. Our flagship GALAXY S model posted sales of 10 million
units, while the GALAXY Tab also led the Android tablet PC market, earning glowing customer reviews. Our leadership in full-
touch and messaging mobile phones continued in both advanced and emerging markets. In 2011, we plan to aggressively
challenge a market that grows ever more competitive. By launching GALAXY S II, our flagship strategy smartphone, we will
emphasize our category leadership and provide readily available lineup options for global customers. We are expanding and
improving Samsung’s unique mobile solutions as we strengthen our competitive lead in both services and content.
