BYD Unveils In-House Developed Tablet for Fang Cheng Bao Tai 7 Hybrid SUV
BYD, the Chinese automaker and one of the largest contract manufacturers of consumer electronics, has announced the launch of an in-house developed tablet designed specifically for the Fang Cheng Bao Tai 7 hybrid SUV. This marks a strategic move towards deeper vertical integration, extending beyond vehicles and batteries, into consumer electronics.
The tablet functions primarily as an integrated in-car infotainment device, connecting directly with the vehicle's system to enable multi-screen collaboration. This feature allows seamless interaction between the tablet and other vehicle displays, enhancing the overall in-car connectivity and user experience.
The tablet is set to elevate the infotainment capabilities significantly, positioning BYD competitively alongside other Chinese tech companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei, which also emphasize advanced in-vehicle connectivity. While specific technical specifications of the tablet have not been disclosed, its integration with the vehicle system suggests capabilities for real-time interaction and control across multiple screens inside the vehicle.
The device is intended to provide a more personalized and connected infotainment environment, tailored for the Tai 7 model, which is focused on urban driving needs and expected to launch commercially in Q4 2025. The tablet is the first fully in-house developed by BYD, a significant step that reflects the company's commitment to innovation and expansion.
The Fang Cheng Bao Tai 7 is the second model in the Tai series, following the Tai 3. Notably, yesterday saw the first mass-produced hybrid SUV roll off the production line. The Tai 7 will go on sale in the fourth quarter.
In addition to its automotive and battery businesses, BYD counts Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Honor among its clients. The company's stock ticker symbols are HKG: 1211 and OTCMKTS: BYDDY.
Meanwhile, Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) has launched two generations of Nio Phone smartphones to improve the connectivity between phones and its vehicles. However, there is currently no information about the third generation of Nio Phone due to financial pressures.
In summary, BYD’s tablet works as a smart, vehicle-connected infotainment hub enabling multi-screen collaboration that bridges the tablet and the SUV’s systems for a unified in-car digital experience. This device is part of BYD’s initiative to merge its consumer electronics expertise with its automotive business to offer superior in-vehicle connectivity.
