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".
