Samsung posts record profit, announces record dividend
Samsung reported an operating profit of €71.68 billion for Q3 2026, a nine-fold increase year-over-year, marking its fourth consecutive record quarter. Revenue rose 127% to €130 billion, slightly below market expectations. The surge is driven by soaring memory chip prices due to a global data center construction boom, particularly for AI high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Samsung plans to invest in additional production capacity and seeks long-term supply contracts to mitigate pricing volatility. Despite the strong results, Samsung's stock fell 2.4% in Seoul, while Hynix and Micron also declined. The company's smartphone division suffered an unexpected loss of €894 million due to rising component costs. Samsung will also distribute a record €73 billion to shareholders this year.
Google Book Better Together feature not working with Samsung phones
The newly launched Googlebook, the successor to Chromebooks, offers a 'Better Together' feature for seamless integration with Android smartphones. However, at launch on October 5, 2026, this feature is not working with Samsung devices running Android 17, despite Samsung being the most widespread Android smartphone manufacturer. A user reported the issue on Reddit, and Google acknowledged it, with an employee apologizing and confirming that support for Samsung devices will be rolled out gradually in the coming weeks. This lack of compatibility at launch could impact the adoption of Googlebook among the over three billion Android users, many of whom use Samsung phones.
