Samsung wasn't the only Asian smartphone maker to suffer through a Black Monday. The Suwon, South Korea-based company's shares plunged 7.5% on the first day of trading after a jury in California ruled on Friday that Samsung must pay more than $1 billion to Apple for violating six of its patents. With the defeat calling into question the ability of other Android players to fend off the lawyers from Cupertino, the pain spread to other parts of the Asian smartphone world: In Hong Kong, for instance, the share price of ZTE, the largest publicly traded maker of smartphones in China, fell 7.1%. But for some Chinese phone makers, there may be short-term opportunity in the ruling, as well. Samsung says it is not giving up its fight. Some of Samsung's rivals might enjoy a boost from their competitor's setback.
