If you are looking for a smartphone from Germany, you can not avoid the traditional manufacturer Gigaset. The company, headquartered in Bochtel, is the only one with a clear conscience that can attach the “Made in Germany” label to its phone. A few years after entering the smartphone market, the manufacturer has now come up with their first clamshell phone.
Anyone who thinks of this type of mobile phone is probably far from what was expected from the Gigaset GL7 a decade ago. Mobile phones offer a much larger range of functions. The QOS operating system, which is based on Firefox OS, is responsible for this.
It even allows one access Reasonably well stocked app store, From where the application can also be downloaded via WLAN. WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Maps and YouTube are already installed.
WhatsApp has even been given its own hardware buttons for quick access to messenger services. In addition to the three speed dial buttons at the top of the number pad, there is an SOS button at the bottom of the device. After pressing it, five specific numbers are called one by one until no one answers.
The second screen of the lid
Inside, the 2.8-inch color display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Outside the lid, however, there is another screen to show the time and preview notifications.
Otherwise, the technical data is quite vague, but Kai OSO claims significantly less in terms of resources than Android, for example. 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage, which can be expanded by 128GB via microSD, should be totally enough for a smooth user experience. However, you don’t have to do without one of the two SIM slots for a microSD. The Gigaset is relatively future-oriented with a USB-C connection for charging and a 3.5mm jack connection for wired headphones. A battery charge should be enough for nine hours of phone calls or 300 hours of standby.
