Samsung on Wednesday reportee second-quarter earnings down 50% as memory chip prices sank.
The world’s largest smartphone maker says its operating profit was 6.6 trillion Korean won ($5.6 billion), down 55.61% from the same period a year ago. Its consolidated sales came in at 56.13 trillion won.
Those numbers are slightly better than the guidance the company had provided earlier this month.
The company said demand is expected to pick up in the second half but volatility will remain, due to “external uncertainties.”
Samsung is expected to reveal its Galaxy Note 10 smartphone next month and the Galaxy Fold in September“The weakness and price declines in the memory chip market persisted as effects of inventory adjustments by major datacenter customers in the previous quarters continued, despite a limited recovery in demand,” Samsung said in a news release.

NASA has found a star 73 light-years away.[/size]
Three exoplanets orbit the star: a “super-Earth” and two others that resemble Neptune. The study’s lead author said the star is quiet and close to Earth, and much brighter than host stars of other similar systems. NASA said further studies will allow scientists to learn about the components of these systems, understand if they have atmospheres and learn what gases might be part of the atmospheres. Scientists published their research in nature Astronomy
