Manual of product A385
Editorial note
The Gigaset A385 stands out for its practical features and functional design. With a built-in answering machine, it makes managing incoming calls easier, even when you are busy. Its maximum outdoor range of 300 m and indoor range of 50 m allows for flexible use in various environments. Additionally, the 140-entry directory offers ample capacity to store your contacts, and the backlit buttons enhance visibility in low-light conditions. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The Gigaset A385 is not compatible with Mac systems, which may limit its use for some users. Furthermore, the indoor range of 50 m may be insufficient for large homes, and the 1.42" screen may seem small to some, making it harder to read information. The call log, limited to 10 entries, may also not be suitable for those with a high call volume. In terms of performance, the phone offers a talk time of 25 hours, which is satisfactory, although some newer models offer extended battery life. The value for money is fair, particularly due to its interesting features, but the lack of Mac compatibility may be a drawback for some buyers. Overall, the Gigaset A385 is a solid phone, offering good features and a positive user experience, but it may not be the ideal choice for everyone due to its limitations.Score details
