For 300 euros, interested buyers get an excellently manufactured mid-range smartphone with sufficient performance for everyday tasks. The highlights definitely include the battery, which can be replaced in a few easy steps and can also be charged wirelessly.
Gigaset remains true to its line with the GS5 and offers premium-class extras such as wireless charging at a low price. The manufacturer has also thought about sustainability with an exchangeable battery and update guarantee. Actually, an interesting package for all those who are satisfied with simple technology. But the very slow processor spoils the fun.
