It was officially presented in February 2021, and the Ioniq 5 from Hyundai can now also be pre-ordered in Germany. It’s a special electric car that can charge other electric cars. The manufacturer has even thought of a solar roof – and it’s affordable.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 from 41,900 euros in Germany

When the Ioniq 5 from Hyundai was presented, the South Korean manufacturer had a few surprises in store. The e-car can be transformed into a charging station, so to speak, and thus supply other electric cars with electricity. The best equipment comes with a solar roof. According to the manufacturer, the electricity generated in this way should provide an additional range of up to 2,000 kilometers per year.

The guesswork about the possible price of the special electric car is now over. A configurator has appeared on the Hyundai website that reveals the final secrets. Accordingly, the electric car will be available in Germany for 41,900 euros. In this case, there is an electric motor with an output of 125 kW (170 hp). Consumption according to the WLTP standard is 16.3-kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers. The specified range is 400 kilometers with a 58 kWh battery and rear-wheel drive.

A better-equipped variant offers a range of up to 470 kilometers. Here, according to WLTP, consumption of 17.1-kilowatt-hours per 100 km can be assumed. The datasheet states 160 kW (217 hp) of power and the battery has a capacity of 72.6-kilowatt hours. In this case, Hyundai would like to have 45,100 euros. Alternatively, the Ioniq 5 is also available with a dual-engine and 225 kW (305 hp) for 48,900 euros. The Ioniq 5 will then be delivered “in summer”.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 with “high-speed charging”

Hyundai advertises with its electric car, among other things, with a “high-speed charging”. Assuming a corresponding charging point, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. Even five minutes of charging time should be enough to offer a range of 100 km.

With the Galaxy S21 FE, an interesting Samsung mobile phone awaits us, with many elements of the Galaxy S21 to be found. As it turns out, there is a bit of a disappointment with the battery. Unlike its predecessor, this will not be based on the Plus version. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S21 FE should be a very decent cell phone.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE: Battery with 4,500 mAh

Little by little, more and more details about the Fan Edition of the Galaxy S21 from Samsung are coming to light. As SamMobile would like to know now, the battery of the Galaxy S21 FE will have a capacity of 4,500 mAh. In direct comparison with the predecessor, it was not enough for a stronger battery. In contrast to the Galaxy S20 FE, the Plus version of the Galaxy S21 was not based on.

Nevertheless, the Fan Edition of the Galaxy S21 is sure to find a lot of fans. According to previous reports, the phone will be equipped with an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches. A resolution of Full HD + can be assumed. The fingerprint sensor for identifying the user will be located in the display.

The processor is still unclear. It remains to be seen whether Samsung will opt for the Snapdragon 888 or the in-house development Exynos 2100. The internal capacity can be assumed to be 128 or 256 GB, depending on the model.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE from August 2021

The other highlights of the mobile phone include video recording with 4K resolution and protection class IP68. Even if the battery does not have the largest capacity, it can probably be charged with up to 25 watts using a cable.

While Samsung took its time with the predecessor last year until October, the Galaxy S21 FE is expected to be released in August 2021. There is still no information about the possible price. The predecessor started at 599.99 euros but is now much cheaper to get.

Anyone who buys a brand new Samsung cell phone is assuming that it has a good update policy. The South Korean company makes a difference. On the one hand, this is understandable, on the other hand, it could also have an impact on purchasing behavior.

Samsung Galaxy A52 receives updates more frequently than Galaxy A72

Samsung introduced the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 at the same time. Both phones are good value for money and the Galaxy A52 (5G) made a very good impression in the test. But even though the phones came out at the same time, that doesn’t mean the software support is the same. Only the Galaxy A52 gets monthly security updates, while the Galaxy A72 is set to quarterly security updates from the start – confirms SamMobile. Of course, this is a fact that you should consider when buying. For Samsung, however, this prioritization is not at all wrong. The Galaxy A52 will sell significantly better than the Galaxy A72. Accordingly, the software support should be better here. The customers of the Galaxy A72 are also supplied – just not so regularly.

In the end, it will have to be seen anyway whether Samsung adheres to this requirement. In the past few months, Galaxy phones have received updates that shouldn’t have been updated anymore. Samsung is way ahead of its time. New models such as the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 are now sold with an update guarantee of four years. Three years of major Android updates and four years of security updates. So whoever buys a cell phone from Samsung will be provided with new software for a very long time.

Samsung is the leader in Android updates

While other manufacturers struggle with Android updates, take a long time to implement, and only guarantee updates for two years, Samsung is going exactly the other way. So it’s no wonder that Samsung dominates the market with the new mobile phones and has significantly expanded its first place.
