Samsung are going bold with their A-series and J-series in 2017. The Korean company started the year with the Galaxy A3 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) and is now moving to the lower-standing J-series.

Mark Wilson | Getty Images Republican president-elect Donald Trump acknowledges the crowd during his election night event at the New York Hilton Midtown. U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 45 percent tariff on imports from China is no longer being dismissed as mere election rhetoric following his nomination of two prominent China critics as key members of his trade team and the discovery of a long-forgotten presidential power to raise tariffs. Trump has named Peter Navarro, the author of Death by China, as director of his White House’s newly created National Trade Council and fellow China critic Robert…
JPMorgan has upgraded its view on Indonesian stocks just weeks after a negative stance prompted the government to sever all official ties with the bank. Jakarta stopped using the U.S. investment bank as a primary dealer or an underwriter for sovereign bonds after JPMorgan’s Asia-Pacific equity strategists in November slashed the country’s equity rating outlook by two categories to “underweight”. In research sent to clients on Monday, however, JPMorgan’s team said it was closing the “tactical underweight” recommendation in place since November and instead advised a “neutral” stance.

Morgan Stanley management struck a positive tone Tuesday after the investment bank reported fourth quarter earnings that handily beat market expectations. CFO Jon Pruzan told CNBC there is much more optimism for the bank than this time last year. People have a “half full” rather than a “half empty” mindset, he said, adding that the rising spread between long-term bond yields and shorter-term yields is good news for Morgan Stanley, and that tax reform will also be a positive. A surge in sales and trading revenue helped Morgan Stanley’s earnings surpass forecasts. Net revenue from bond sales and trading jumped…

In 2009, Microsoft enflamed the minds of consumers with Courier, a foldable phone/tablet concept that was eventually cancelled. Years later, a sort-of new patent implies Microsoft hasn’t (or hadn’t) totally given up on the idea. According to the new patent, which was approved on Tuesday, Microsoft envisions a mobile device with a continuous viewing area that extends across the foldable region—similar in spirit to the dual-screen Courier concept. It’s an exciting idea, but there’s one major caveat: This is a patent from 2014 that the U.S. Patent Office finally approved, not one that Microsoft applied for more recently. As such, it shows…
The new Raspberry Pi single-board computer is smaller and cheaper than the last, but its makers aren’t expecting the same rush of buyers that previous models have seen. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 will be more of a “slow burn,” than last year’s Raspberry Pi 3, its creator Eben Upton predicted. That’s because it’s designed not for school and home use but for industrial applications. To make use of it, buyers will first need to design a product with a slot on the circuit board to accommodate it and that, he said, will take time. The Compute Module 3…
