20. May 2020 Published by Raphael Doerr“Just about everybody wants a smartphone at an affordable price – the latest flagships cost nigh on 1,000 euros and also come from faraway China” is how the article on the GS290 in the IT magazine Hardware-Journal begins. Five pages later, the silver award for value for money is bestowed on our phone.
“The Hardware-Journal test sums it up nicely,” says Sina Lenz, Senior Manager Corporate Communications at Gigaset. “We offer our customers smartphones with features they want and at a fair and reasonable price.”
The article shows the GS290 in a very positive light overall. It singles out the phone’s good battery life, powerful front camera, registration of multiple fingerprints to enhance security, the device’s stability, its design and its performance when 2D games are played on it.
The possibility of having it personalized with an individual engraving and Gigaset’s extensive repair service are also mentioned. The accessories are rated as top-class, while features such as USB-C, OTG, NFC and wireless charging are also cited as positive aspects. Given that positive feedback, it is only logical that the GS290 is called an all-rounder in its price class and captures the silver award for value for money in the test.
