Quote:

"Some Chinese handset makers like Lenovo Group Ltd, which have risen in the global smartphone rankings despite only modest sales outside their home market, have already reported tepid earnings in the latest quarter. Lenovo Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing said earlier this month the past quarter was possibly the 'toughest market environment in recent years.”'

"As Samsung’s industry-leading smartphone market share has eroded over the past two years, the company has grown more financially dependent on its semiconductor arm. Chip profits [including that from logic chip, not just memory chip] accounted for nearly half of Samsung’s operating profit in the second quarter.

Note:
(a) The English-language report was published online on Aug 30 (Sunday; I saw it on Aug 31--when the translation appeared--but was sure it did not appear in print that day; confused, I decided to wait) and in print on Sept 1, 2015.
(b) Despite the title, the English report mainly deals with ELECTRONICS part suppliers, not chip makers. In the latter, the report concerns memory chip only, rather than microprocessor/ logic chip, which TSMC dominates.
(c) The print edition is three-paragraph shorter, ending at (and including) this paragraph: " 'Overall, the component makers’ situation is getting tougher than two months ago, but premium suppliers will be OK,' Mr. Sato said.
(c) There is no need to read the rest, which we can guess.
