I’m warming to the rotating screen. I first assumed it was just for show, but I've used it for various other situations. Now, while I am definitely glad that they made the rotation feature, I kind of wish that they had put more effort into making the UI and responsiveness of the system better.

It’s a bit of both, I think - a gimmick that is actually useful. It's not necessary, but it does help the Atto 3 stand out among numerous rival products. It also demonstrates that BYD is prepared to experiment and innovate.

As a tech enthusiast, I like BYD thinking out of the box. I start thinking, however, if this functionality brings in too much complexity, more potential for failure. I’d rather have a rock solid, responsive interface than a fancy rotating screen.

I actually love the rotating screen! For different apps it's super handy - I use portrait mode for navigation and landscape for music or when passengers want to watch videos. It's not a gimmick; it really does add versatility to the infotainment system.

It’s a definitely cool party trick, but I’m not sure how useful it actually is in day to day driving. I’ve had my Atto 3 for a few months now and I almost never rotate the screen. I like to show off to friends, but I’m concerned about the longevity of the mechanism.
