Profits at Samsung Electronics fell 20% in the second quarter, hurt mainly by a slowdown in smartphone sales and a strong Korean currency.

2014第二季度三星电子利润下降20%，主要是由于智能手机销量下降与韩币的强势。

It made a net profit of 6.25 trillion won ($6.1bn) in the April-to-June period, down from 7.77 trillion won a year ago.

When compared to the previous quarter, its profit was down 17%.

Samsung is the world's biggest maker¹ of mobile phones and the handset division accounts for the bulk of（大多数） its profits.

"The second quarter was affected² by several factors including the slow global sales of smartphones and tablets and escalating³ marketing⁴ expenditure⁵ to reduce inventory," the firm said in a statement.

Currency factor

Meanwhile, a stronger Korean currency also hit Samsung's earnings⁶ during the period.

The Korean won rose more than 11% against the US dollar and nearly 7% against the euro between July 2013 and end of June this year.

A strengthening currency hurts profits of firms such as Samsung - which rely heavily on exports - when they repatriate⁷ their foreign earnings.

Samsung said a stronger currency "amounted to about 500bn won in missed revenues".
