Samsung Electronics Says it expects to make 7. 8 billion in profit in the final quarter of last year, thats a jump of 50 from the Previous Year and better than many a nalysts Previous Year and better than many analysts were expecting, thanks to sales of memory chips. Samsung embarrassingly stopped sales of its Samsung Galaxy note 7 phone after reports of them catching fire. We are joined reports of them catching fire. We arejoined by a reports of them catching fire. We are joined by a Technology Co nsulta nt are joined by a Technology Consultant from idc. Memory chips have offset concerns about the Galaxy Note 7, but you were expecting this . When you look at a lot of the headlines in the past couple of months it has always been about exploding batteries, doom for samsung, thats not their only business. If anything, what really driving things is the strong memory, they have high memory and demand from Mobile Phone Makers and it also displayed, this small, high end screens that are increasingly going into a lot of high end phones. Really helping them. They are very profitable businesses, so these businesses are behind the scenes of the mainstream consumer and thats what is driving it. At the end of the day what happened to the Galaxy Note 7, as painful it was, itjust bounced right off because all of these other businesses helped it. Bounced right off because all of these other businesses helped itm is to use a thats because there are many concerns that it will impact them and their reputation. Will that follow samsung into this year and how can it continue to stay profitable . It still is a cloud lingering over their heads. They still havent explained what caused those exploding batteries. The good thing is a couple of days ago at the Consumer Electronics show in las vegas they said something was coming 0011. Vegas they said something was coming soon. They didnt say exactly when.

Of course theres the arch rivalry with the mac and iphone. Because of the Galaxy Note 7 scandal, apples iphone 6 was said to be the most popular smartphone. How can samsung regain ground . M terms of popularity, there are different ways to measure it. In terms of market share, samsung still has a commanding lead and it is continue to have that. They are just at the high end, have a low end and that carries things through. But as you say what about from a Mind Share Perspective . That will depend on the user. Some are apples fans, others are android fans. The rumours we are hearing about the next galaxy, maybe no home button, stuff around ai. So there is interesting stuff, if these rumours are true, that could end up being a nice product for them, but they have to get the Battery Reputation behind them. We look forward to the next big product. Thank you so much for that. Will it bea thank you so much for that. Will it be a better year for asias thank you so much for that. Will it be a better yearfor asias Property Markets this year, after a mixed bag in 2016 . Property markets in china and australia remain strong, driven by growth in major cities, theres a different in much of Southeast Asia where growth was more subdued. Which markets are likely to do well in the coming 12 months . Here is the view from someone with a real estate firm. Lets pick out some of these star performers. China, this has caught the imagination of many people. 20 plus price growth in cities like beijing and shanghai. So much so that the authorities have stepped in again to try to bring in cooling measures. Elsewhere, australia has still been a steady performer, as you mentioned. This is like sydney and melbourne, still seem fairly reasonable price growth. And then places like new zealand, auckland continues to be a star performer. China and hong kong have been seeing growth, despite these measures. The government has tried to put in more measures and are regulating the finance, trying to impose some capital controls. What impact might this have full bell . Might this have . It is difficult to say. 0ver might this have . It is difficult to say. Over the last 12 months with the number of cooling measures. It is difficult if you dont have the money to invest in certain cities. Thats not to that has had a cooling effect. But ps3 and four cities still have a big overhang of supply. Cities still have a big overhang of supply cities still have a big overhang of supply. Tier three and four. How could this impact the market . It could this impact the market . It could have a dampening impact on outbound but that could lead to the benefit of some Chinese Markets themselves. Chinese investing in shanghai and beijing, instead of overseas. The annual Consumer Electronics show isa the annual Consumer Electronics show is a mecca for anyone interested in the latest high tech gadgets and among them a type of smart glasses designed to make people fitter. Smart glasses have failed to have much of an impact. People will remember google class. But its believed these 500 glasses will succeed. These are some smart glasses, especially for cyclists. I am wearing them now. Very fetching. It isa wearing them now. Very fetching. It is a google glasses like setup. I can see the calories on burning, how fast i am cycling and the innovation. How high i am, if i was ona innovation. How high i am, if i was on a bike. You are the creator of this device. Why is it better to have smart glasses than a little device on your handlebars eating it the same information . We are seeing an evolution of how people in different areas consume their data, especially sports, where data is becoming the norm. You are training to become better. There is Standard Technology out there for cyclists, that amount on handlebars, but we believe the evolution of how data is consumed is real time, and so you dont have to get distracted. Isnt it more distracting to have things projected over my vision . No, because you can see through the information. The information disappears when you focus beyond it for five metres and that information is actually on demand. When you change focused information suddenly appears in your field change focused information suddenly appears in yourfield of change focused information suddenly appears in your field of view, change focused information suddenly appears in yourfield of view, art at the same time you arent losing your context because you are focusing on the road. In addition to the display you also have integrated speakers in the headset that are acoustically giving you directions for your training. So i dont have to look at my phone. Why are these built into tinted spectacles . Would it make driving or cycling at night more difficult . The lenses are interchangeable. There is a dark lens, but the user can change it for a clear and lens or a mirrored on. It is just another smart set of glasses, with Technology Built in.

Top stories americas top intelligence official rules russian Cyber Attacks do pose a major threat in the us and says there is no doubt he tried to interfere with the president ial election. A car bomb in the turkish city of izmir has killed two people. Police say they shot dead two militants thought to be behind the attack. A third is still on the run. The number of new cars sold in the uk hit an all time high in 2016. The increase of more than two 2 was mainly due to high demand from business customers, according to the society of Motor Manufacturers and traders. But sales are expected to fall sharply this year, as our Industry Correspondent john moylan reports. 0nce, new cars were the preserve of the privileged few. Not any more. These days, we buy cars like mobile phones. The reason were all buying so many new cars is because the industry makes it so easy for us. In fact, the vast majority of customers are now effectively leasing new vehicles for an affordable monthly payment, rather than worrying about the overall sticker price. Ivan foreman used to buy cars second hand. Now he doesnt have to. All of the options are now available with leasing and financing. I can now pay less overall on a monthly basis but still go home with a brand new car. You can probably now have a car like that for £10 a month more than your golf. This shift in how we buy cars is also changing the type of car were buying, too. Theres a real trend for people to buy more upmarket cars, because the Monthly Payments are usually not that much greater than buying a more Mainstream Vehicle and people are very badge conscious and they want the latest technology and thats what these premium manufacturers are offering. Last year, total sales hit almost 2. 7 million cars. That was up 2. 3 on the Previous Year, which was also a record high. But the industry now expects sales to fall by more than 5 in the coming year. Thats because Consumer Demand has been falling. It could get worse, amid the Economic Uncertainty ahead. Whats more, higher prices are coming to forecourts. The pressure that comes from a lower value pound, to a certain extent does help exporters but the converse is it makes imports more expensive. Around six out of seven cars we sell here are imported, so the pressure of that depreciation in sterling will undoubtedly flow through into price rises. The rising price of fuel wont help either. Petrol and diesel have hit an 18 month high. After five years of growth, the car market could be in for a bumpy ride. The rmt union has accepted an offer from the transport secretary Chris Grayling to discuss the long running dispute over operating train doors on southern rail. The unions argue the extension of driver only services, where drivers rather than guards open carriage doors, is u nsafe. Guards open carriage doors, is unsafe.
