Samsung Electronics has seen its quarterly operating profit fall to its lowest level in more than three years because of slowing smartphone sales.

The South Korean company said profit fell 60% to 4.1tn won ($3.8bn; £2.5bn) in the three months to September.

Samsung's mobile division, its biggest business, has been struggling to maintain its dominance against rivals such as Apple, which recently released the new iPhone 6.

Samsung said market competition is "expected to further intensify".

It said the year-end surge in competitor smartphone launches "may require a potential increase in marketing expenses associated with year-end promotions".
