Gigaset GS6 Pro: A European-focused smartphone alternative
The Gigaset GS6 Pro is positioned as a European-focused alternative to the Fairphone 6, emphasizing German development and production. A key feature of the device is its combination of a replaceable battery, wireless charging, and an IP68 waterproof rating, which is noted as a unique offering in the mid-range market.
Technically, the phone supports AphyOS, an operating system that functions without Google services. Gigaset has committed to seven years of security updates, intended to last until 2032, though the device will only receive two major Android version upgrades, reaching Android 17.
However, reviews highlight several performance compromises. The chipset is described as slow, leading to stutters during daily use, and the camera quality is not considered competitive with mid-range models from manufacturers like Samsung or Xiaomi. Other noted drawbacks include USB 2.0 connectivity and limited Bluetooth codec support.
