The Korean electronics giant exceeded many market analysts' expectations for the third quarter of 2012, reporting earnings of $7.4 billion.

The company also reported that its earnings from July to September have doubled from what they were last year, showing significant growth in a short period of time.
Samsung reported its results hours after Apple Inc. Samsung did not confirm the amount of smartphones that were shipped during the quarter; however, it is estimated to be around 58 million. Apple reportedly shipped around 26.9 million. Apple's numbers reflect the release of the long-awaited iPhone 5.
Samsung's greatest player in the midst of its Q3 earnings has to be the Galaxy S3, which is estimated to have shipped 18-20 million units in that quarter alone. The device launched back in May of this year and has been Samsung's most successful smartphone to date, selling twice as fast as its predecessor, the Galaxy S2.
