The world's number-one smartphone maker Samsung Electronics posted better than expected earnings in the fourth quarter of last year.
The company's operating profit came to 9-point-2 trillion won, or roughly 7-point-9 billion U.S. dollars,... up more than 50 percent on-year,.... and up more than 77 percent from the quarter before.
It's the first time since the third quarter of 2013 that the Korean tech giant's operating profit has topped the 9-trillion won mark.
Sales came nearly 45-point-8 billion dollars,... almost unchanged from last year.
Chip sales lifted Samsung's earnings,... canceling out the losses from the company's failed Note 7 smartphone.
The semiconductor division posted a record quarterly operating profit of 4-point-3 billion dollars,...thanks to an uptick in memory chip prices,... and demand for chips in mobile phones.

Overall, the company's annual sales came to 73 billion dollars,... and its operating profit was 25 billion dollars.
