Samsung is continuing its tradition of releasing estimates for its quarterly earnings ahead of the actual earnings, saying that it anticipates a consolidated operating profit of approximately ₩6.7 trillion, or around $5.9 billion US — a record for the company.

Samsung’s official Q1 2012 profit was $5.1 billion US, meaning this quarter’s profits will represent a significant jump, thanks no doubt in large part to gangbuster sales of its Galaxy series of smartphones. The official results will be released on July 27th.
