Samsung Electronics Co.s strategy of selling smartphones at every price point spurred record earnings at Asia’s biggest technology company and helped push Taiwanese competitor HTC Corp. to its first-ever quarterly loss.

Samsung’s third-quarter operating profit rose to about 10.1 trillion won ($9.4 billion), beating analyst estimates, on sales of cheaper handsets in emerging markets. HTC posted a net loss of NT$2.97 billion ($101 million) in the same period as its global smartphone market share plunged by more than half.
