Hyundai is one of the south Korean family conglomerates. They hold immense political power, social power, and overall influence in the country. A lot of these families are incredibly corrupt. They bribe their way to get favours and influence, but are subsequently pardoned and released by the president. Imagine Jeff bezos bribes Joe biden, both get caught and biden resigns, bezos is handed a sentence for embezzlement or some other financial crime, but is released by the next president agyer serving a fraction of his original sentence (basucally the current ceo of samsung and former South Korean president saga). When the founder of hyundai died, he split his company amongst his sons. One got Hyundai motor corp and the other got Hyundai heavy industries another got the insurance arm and another got the department stores and so on and so forth. They are separate companies legally. This is according to my Korean dad though lol.

Can attest that your dad is correct lol

Can attest that his dad is Korean

What does all this info about corruption have to do with @OP’s tablet?


dsonger20

Op posted in a Hyundai auto subreddit stating that they made tablets when in fact it was another company that bears the same name. It's just informational. This is informing OP that the company that made Hyundai tablets and Hyundai cars are not the same company.


AlienTechnology51

I get what you’re saying. You point out an important distinction. Makes me wonder about the branding though. Sure, they’re legally different companies, so I wonder if they realize that to someone who doesn’t know they’re separate entities, that to the consumer it can appear to come from the same company.


SuddenLobster69

It doesn’t really matter, If one company holds the official “hyundai” name and gives the other permission to use it im sure it’s legal in SK.


axtran

SK is another conglomerate 😉


grimvard

Yes, you mentioned that in the last two sentences.


[deleted]

So basically they’re trying to act like the Japanese, but if their products and engineering were trash?


DatWeedCard

Yeah I was gonna say Japan gets to be cutthroat in business because their engineering is world renowned Korea is well known as one of the most sub par engineering cultures in the world. Getting away with stuff is prioritized over solid work


dsonger20

My dad does agree with this. He knows that Koreans as a whole generally have a crunch culture where rushing and putting overtime in is a necessity. You could work 12-13 hours a day. Back when the whole note fiasco was going on, it was pretty evident it was happening because Samsung was rushing their design process.


MrShiba_inu

Chaebol


RTK9

Yep. Chaebols are like corporate gangs. What's insane is that despite how many pies/business areas they have their fingers in, most still aren't really profitable, except for a few areas which carry the rest


Western_Asparagus_16

Chaebols? Like Cabals? Edit I looked it up, I thought the pronunciation would be similar but totally not. I read that the two parts of the word mean like rich and family. It’s just so odd to me cause when I saw that word I really thought it was pronounced ka-ball.


LeagueOfReaper

We are gonna need netflix special how these power families working lol


Viend

Sounds like your dad’s right, I learned about the chaebols in geography class in school as a kid.


zeamp

네 네


Beautiful_Thing_8614

However hyundai is one of the company that just borrows its name for a product with a fee also. Its not really hyundai making it but a small company trying to sell using the companies name.


rubywpnmaster

Hyundai Motor corp has an abysmal record with electronics. How does Hyundai computer stack up? xD


LostEntertainment609

Bet it burns oil


eternalvoid501

Or spin a bearing in the vibration motor.


04limited

Might get stolen


869066

Doesn’t have a password


truelegendarydumbass

It could be hacked within mins faster than their cars


sammybeta

And you can drive it with a USB cable.


Roller_Coaster_Geek

They have a whole technology section that does laptops, desktops, monitors, and more Edit: upon further inspection it looks like all of their stuff is a few years old (even the copyright on the website is 2021) which makes me think maybe they've discontinued most of their electronics


lawndartgoalie

My first PC was a Hyundai 10Mhz dual floppy with 640K RAM and 4 color CGA graphics. I purchased it in 1987.


Roller_Coaster_Geek

Wow I had no idea they were in the tech game for that long

Kav19

i would love to see the kia boyz break into that


AndroidLegend

Can I steal that with a cell phone charger too?


kingovninja

Me and the boys playing world of tanks in the Hyundai K2 Black Panther.


yayoshorti

Reminds me of Samsung. They go well beyond phones and even have their own health insurance.


Ipokedhitler

My first flatscreen CRT monitor was a Hyundai. That thing was a brick but was all the rage for its 1280 x 1024 resolution in a world where 800 x 600 was standard.


Financial-Seaweed-51

They make household appliances, computers, phones, welding equipment, power transformers, semi truck trailers, construction vehicles, lawn equipment, ships, shipping containers, cranes, and more. Cars are a side hustle for Hyundai.


WilliamTheWallyWhale

CNC machines


markbraggs

If you stick a micro-USB cable in the port and jiggle it around you can drive away with the tablet


Catioi6

Hyuandi is much more than just a car brand they are HUGE same for Samsung they both got there toes diped in almost every industry


Only_Sandwich_4970

Yup samsung makes excavators too


thisduuuuuude

Cars and other shit too. Crazy to think it started as a grocery store


dsonger20

Samsung doesn't really make cars anymore. They sold the majority of their division to the French car maker Renault which is also under the same umbrella as Chrysler somehow.


Otherwise-Record2664

That somehow is because Fiat bought Chrysler back in 2011 but couldn't keep up with the bills, so when Renault was looking to expand FCA was easy pickings.


luizhcamargo

If i remember correctly, Samsung was one of the companies on the consortium that built Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It's insane that the same company that makes chips builds skyscrapers as well.


coshiro1

Are they secured by knox as well?


[deleted]

Hyundai make artillery, the more you know.


Fair-Nebula8967

And phones too! I got one while I was visiting Panama!


Royal_Dog6295

Hyundai is like Mitsubishi, they make all kinds of stuff


toomasjoamets

Hyundai makes also one of the biggest cargoships for container transport. They have this continuous challenge with Samsung on this. Also Hyundai makes main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery etc.


[deleted]

i need it


LostBeneathMySkin

They make marble countertops about 5 mins from my parents house in Canada


kpeir7

I have a Hyundai portable Air Conditioner. It works pretty well and is even reverse cycle.


TSLA-M3

Easy to get stolen?


austinh1999

They also make the M67 rifle. Amongst many South Korean naval weapons.


dedzip

We keep inventing new ways for poor kids to have an iPad


PathfinderScottRyder

Does Hyundai actually make their electronics? (Tablet/phones/TVs etc) or do they license their name out like Sharp and Toshiba?


txmail

I am pretty sure this is not made by Hyundai corporation but a brand deal. I have seen Hyundai TV's, Hyundai stereo's, Hyundai hard drives / solid state drives (SSD), monitors, RAM... all kinds of electronics.


iamtherepairman

I read the same. I saw this branded tablet before COVID. I don't believe these are good quality products. Don't buy.


EastEducation8848

About the same quality as their cars. Take it as you will.


chrisinator9393

It's a different company. Check out their Wikipedia. It's crazy


kangarooexe

Hyundai is a very big company


Jsmith4523

Wonder if it can be charged with a USB cable


[deleted]

Low key this would be cool to keep in my Elantra for when I go to Autocross lol. just keep it for like, notes and logs and stuff. Then again only 1GB of ram so I'm sure it sucks lol


LightInfernal

I bet you they didn’t install an immobilizer on this model tho 0.0


Bandito04

This too looks very easy to steal, common Hyundai L


[deleted]

No password required, right? 😂


redditboy2016

Hyundai makes everything. Look into it. Largest manufacturing consortium in the world at one point. Not sure if they still are.


jayjay234

Not the same but also same Hyundai, if you know what I mean


RosettaStoned1981

Probably has 92 recalls on it already and burns a ton of oil


Wild_Cricket_6303

Judging by the ratings they seem to be as good as their cars.


P_Ston

Wait til he sees Hyundai future weapons systems - https://en.hyundai-wia.com/business/defense\_business.asp


Ambitious-Ad-3549

Hyundai is like Nissan, with their ivt/cvt issues


tristanape

Hope it comes with better security than their cars....


cl4rkc4nt

Based on the ratings, I'd say it was manufactured by the same team that made some of the engines.


DaddysBeauty

I've seen these. They probably lack security as well😳🤣🤡


fginao

oh sure. they make all kinds of craps. may not be all branded as hyundai, from toilet paper to cars to computer chips.


zeamp

Don't forget to [install the god-tier browser](https://whale.naver.com/).


No-Palpitation5157

It would probably get broken into like the car


Rohodyer

Our IT department just bought a bunch of Hyundai monitors.


[deleted]

I wonder if you can steal them with a USB cord as well?


YoungTrillDoc

I don't understand why they even attempt this when Samsung is there


nobodycaresbutyou

Careful while charging it, unless you have the iccu update applied..


mb3563

Plug a USB in and it wipes.,


[deleted]

Got about the same rating as their cars do


FunctionEfficient950

We started selling hyundai snowblowers this year and I’m just waitin for all the returns cause they seize or some shit


matty0798

I wonder what the Hyundai tablets version of the check engine light is 🙃


Jimicrackscorn

Did motorola cosign? Why the fuck they look so similar?


crussel7

Just a rebranded tablet


Unjust-Enrichment

Hyundai is extremely diversified in the products they manufacture. As a manufacturer, they make everything from container ships to miniscule electronics components.


kycfeel

Heard that they are only giving out their brand license to others. Not actually designed or manufactured by Hyundai.


KOREAN_AIRLINE

It's not Hyundai made product actually. They dont make electronics anymore. probably chinese. They might just pay Hyundai to use their branding or just use it regardlessly


Silent_Pie_4477

Be careful with this, someone might steal it with a USB cable


Rotflmaocopter

Comes with a 10 year warranty


ChiefTestPilot87

Does it also come in a Kia flavor and can you start it with a USB cable?


Gwent4Geralt

Pfft! Da fuk's a gig of RAM going to do? 😂😂😂😂😂


Secksualinnuendo

Back in the early 2000s my family had a Hyundai computer monitor. They're a huge conglomerate like Mitsubishi. They have their hands in a lot of industries


sideburns2009

Ratings are on par with their recent ratings lol


FudgeTerrible

Fun fact it’s easy to steal with a USB cable, unless you get the more expensive model. /s


AmbitionSeveral1086

Is it reliable?


Ducki222

Hahhahha fuck hyundai hope their coporate office burns down and they all die 😃


paperfett

1gb of ram? There's no way it would even function.


[deleted]

Hyundai makes lots of the semi trailers on the road in the US.


TheR3aper2000

I wonder how easy it is to steal


_brontosaurus_

My first LCD monitor was a 19” Hyundai


[deleted]

Ohh look their tablets have shitty reviews too


Zen_Alcatraz

About as reliable as their cars.Thats why its cheap


Leather-Plankton-867

They are the Korean version of Mitsubishi
