Samsung looks to take 70 percent market share in Korea

The tech giant is looking to make a statement on its home turf and capture an unprecedented 70% of the South Korea mobile market.

This, after capturing a hefty 66% in the first half of 2012, due in large part to great sales of its most recent flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S III.

The jump is quite significant when compared to the last three years, where Samsung controlled 51.2%, 52.6% and 52.7%, respectively. This success can be attributed to the company's heavy investment in LTE infrastructure, combined with high sales of the Galaxy S II LTE and Galaxy Note during the first half of the year.
