HTC and Samsung reported results for the second quarter today. Both the companies’ figures suggested that they’re starting to see a decline in their almost supernatural growth rates from the past few quarters, something that can be attributed mainly to their early adoption of Android.

Starting with HTC, the Taiwanese manufacturer reported a net profit of $17.52 billion New Taiwan dollars (approximately $59 million), or roughly twice as much as it earned the same time last year. Revenue more than doubled to NT$124.40 billion from NT$60.96 billion from last year, thanks to strong smartphone and tablet shipment.

“The Taoyuan-based smartphone maker said it expects third-quarter smartphone shipments to rise 98% to 13.5 million units. It shipped 12.1 million handsets in the second quarter, beating its guidance for 11 million to 11.5 million units.”

HTC is growing fast, and expects revenue to go up by 80 percent in the next quarter year-over-year. This represents a decline from previous quarters, now that the company faces increased competition from Samsung, Apple and others. It also lost two lawsuits to the latter (which is also suing Samsung), risking being blocked off the U.S market altogether, something CEO Peter Chou assured investors will not happen during the earnings call.

Heading over to Samsung, the company has seen a growth in revenue but reduced income, similarly to Amazon, eBay and several other tech companies that had their earning calls recently. Revenue increased by four percent to 39.44 trillion won (about $37.34 billion) thanks to sales rising 43 percent from the same period last year. Net income however was down 18 percent at 3.51 trillion won.

An interesting update from Samsung’s earnings call is that did not disclose the number of mobile devices it shipped this quarter. Speculations are that this new policy may have to do with the number of devices customers are returning–a figure that really added up against the company last year after the release of a couple of reports by independent research firms.  For a company that’s been so boastful of sales in recent months, there’s definitely something fishy with its refusal to release sales numbers during this week’s earnings call.
