Gigaset GS3 and Gigaset GS4 - German curiosities

The German brand Gigaset introduced two new smartphones Gigaset GS3 and Gigaset GS4, which are inexpensive, yet slightly different from competitors and look original.

Both smartphones are distinguished by an interesting appearance of the backs and the presence of wireless charging. This feature is usually reserved for more expensive models - and here it appears on almost budget phones. It is a pity that the manufacturer lacked inventiveness to design device fronts...

Gigaset GS3

Gigaset GS3 costs EUR 179 and is of course a cheaper and simpler model. In addition to the presence of inductive charging, it is also distinguished by the possibility of removing the plastic back and replacing it with another - the manufacturer offers a total of 5 colours, including the base black. You can buy backs for only 4 euro. The smartphone has a 6.1-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution, with a droplet notch for an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Inside the casing there is a MediaTek Helio A25 processor, supported by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of flash memory. The memory can be expanded with a microSD card, regardless of the use of DualSIM - the slot is triple. The rear camera is dual, with a main 13 Mpx matrix and f/2.0 lens and an auxiliary 8 Mpx matrix with a wide-angle f/2.2 lens. Note that no 2-MPs were forced! Near the camera you will find a fingerprint reader, and the device is powered by a 4000 mAh battery with 10 W charging.

Gigaset GS4

Gigaset GS4 is a slightly more advanced model, but also with an interesting design. The back is covered with flat glass with a matte plastic frame, and the cameras do not protrude beyond the outline of the housing. The smartphone can be purchased in black or white for 229 euro. Inside we find a MediaTek Helio P70 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, along with a microSD card slot. This model was equipped with NFC, as well as a 4300 mAh battery with 18 W fast charging and, of course, induction charging up to 15 W. The smartphone has a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display with a 13-megapixel selfie camera hidden in a droplet . The rear camera is already triple here, with a basic 16 Mpx matrix and f/1.8 lens and a 5 Mpx f/2.2 wide-angle module and a module for the brand 2 Mpx f/2.4. Buyers of this model may request a unique engraving on the glass back panel. It is unique in this market segment.
