One of BYD’s most anticipated electric cars is already among us. After months of rumors and being presented at the Brussels Motor Show, the BYD Atto 2 can now be reserved for pre-sale in Spain. The electric city car arrives with a battery that limits it to the city and its surroundings or very small weekend getaways but with the promise of expanding equipment and battery size in the coming months. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? BYD Atto 2 technical sheet byd atto 2 BODY TYPE.

LFP battery, a very high technological load and a car that, in short, is above rivals in price. But, also, an adjusted autonomy compared to other options of its size. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show, it was announced that, over the next few weeks, we would know the exact equipment that would arrive in each market. Now we know which one will arrive in Spain in its Urban X Edition, the launch version that It is now available on the BYD website for pre-sale. Thus, we know that the cabin will be dominated by the classic rotating screen which in this case is in 10.1 inches. We do not know, however, if it brings the new infotainment system that we have already seen in models like the BYD Sealion 7. Likewise, its website informs us that it has proximity and blind spot sensors, with technology to alert the driver in a parking lot before opening the door. This type of aid will be added, at least, to the mandatory by the European Unionsuch as emergency braking or rear camera. These are, for now, the confirmations we have for Spain but in the coming days we should know more confirmed details about the equipment of the company’s urban electric car. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show it was confirmed that the car measures 4,310 meters long1,830 meters wide and 1,675 meters high. Despite its long wheelbase of 2,620 meters, it is positioned below the BYD Atto 3, being 145 mm shorter and 45 mm narrower. The car is built on the Cell to Body architecture and the e-Platform 3.0 with the Blade Battery. All this translates into a construction that makes better use of the vehicle’s interior space, integrating the battery into the vehicle’s chassis and taking advantage of it as the floor of the vehicle. The battery, to begin with, is 45.1 kWh capacity and is combined with a 130 kW (177 HP) electric motor. On paper it will deliver 312 kilometers of electric autonomy, according to the WLTP cycle. BYD has announced that a higher capacity battery will arrive in the coming months to expand the capabilities of the vehicle. At its launch, the BYD Atto 2 is sold with a starting price of 19,780 euros with the MOVES III Plan aid included. The company advances the 7,000 euros of aid with an interest-free loan to be repaid within nine months after the purchase. Without these aids, the car starts at 26,780 euros. With that price, those looking for a car to be used in the city get much more space than with a Renault 5which starts from exactly that same money, with a 40 kWh battery and without fast charging. However, when compared to rivals by size, a Kia EV3 It offers much more autonomy (436 kilometers with a 58.3 kWh battery) in exchange, of course, for being significantly more expensive since it starts at above 33,000 euros. Whoever approaches, therefore, the BYD Atto 2 must assess whether you do it by price or by size and autonomy. With the current configuration, the interior is expected to be more comfortable and spacious than electric cars that compete with this model in price. However, due to size, its rivals offer more autonomy in exchange for, yes, a higher price.

Important day for Samsung, which has renewed its flagships. It has certainly done so with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the new ones are also highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+. These two smartphones arrive with a very conservative bet and a clear message: if it works, don’t touch it. There are differences, yes, but perhaps not as many as we would have expected. The most notable concerns the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which will reinforce the manufacturer’s clear commitment to AI functions.

The dimensions are almost identical, and there are only very slight changes except for the thickness: The Galaxy S25 and S25+ lose weight with its 7.2 and 7.3 mm thickness compared to the 7.6 and 7.7 mm respectively of the Galaxy S24 and S24+. This also affects the weight, which is also slightly reduced – and never better said – (162 compared to 167 g and 190 compared to 196). For the rest, we are looking at devices that will be very difficult to differentiate from their predecessors, although they do have a somewhat more rounded design for a better grip, says the manufacturer. The rear ones are also practically identical, and the camera module also remains as we already knew in last year’s editions. The most significant change is in the rings that surround and cover the sensors. They inherit that format from the company’s folding mobile phones, thus unifying that design language throughout their catalog. The sensors offered by these phones are exactly identical to last year’s. Thus, we have a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultra wide angle and a 10 MP telephoto lens, while the 12 MP sensor is also maintained on the front. It is especially striking that none of the sensors have undergone modifications, and although they already performed outstandingly last year, this is usually an important argument to encourage the purchase of new terminals. Not so this time. Where there are changes in the SoC of these phones, which make a clear leap by incorporating the new ones Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitechips that promise performance increases of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU and 30% in GPU compared to the previous version. That Exceptional power is vital to bringing AI features to life that Samsung wanted to be a hallmark of these terminals. To back it up we also have 12 GB of RAM across the entire range, when last year the Galaxy S24 started at 8 GB. One UI 7 and AI as a flag The new Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ will be governed by Android 15 and above all by One UI 7the customization layer that in this new version that comes with a lot of visual changes to the interfaceicons, notifications or animations, but it also comes with some new functions and above all with the total commitment to AI options. Thus, One UI 7 will allow another layer of privacy with the ‘AppLock‘: while Secure Folder creates a duplicate of an app that can only be accessed from this folder, App Lock completely blocks the application, ideal for protecting our banking apps or dating apps, for example. But It is the AI ​​functions that want to shine with its own light. For example, we have an updated version of Google’s Circle to Search, which now quickly recognizes phone numbers, emails, and URLs on the screen. Understanding natural language is also another advantage of the new AI integrated into these devices. Depending on the manufacturer, all you need to do is ask to easily find a specific photo in Gallery or adjust the size of screen fonts in Settings. For this we will have a physical button on the side to activate Geminiwhich now interacts with apps from Google and Samsung, but also some from third parties such as Spotify. The Now Brief feature offers daily tips and relevant information at all times. This AI is also applied when recording videos or taking photos. We have an Audio Eraser to simplify the elimination of unwanted noise in videos, isolating, for example, wind, music, nature or background noises. The Galaxy S25 now has depth of field control with the so-called Virtual Aperture, and … Read more
