SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics said Friday it expected operating profit to tumble 56 percent for the second quarter of this year in the face of a weakening chip market.

Operating profit for the April to June period is forecast to reach around 6.5 trillion won , down 56 percent from a year earlier, the world's largest maker of smartphones and memory chips said in a statement.

It has enjoyed record profits in recent years despite a series of setbacks, including the jailing of its de facto chief. Samsung launched its top-end S10 5G smartphone earlier this year, after South Korea won the global race to commercially launch the world's first nationwide 5G network.
