Manual of product S850A
Editorial note
The Gigaset S850A is a cordless phone that stands out for several advantages. Its built-in answering machine, offering up to 55 minutes of recording, allows for effective management of missed calls. With a maximum range of 300 meters outdoors and 50 meters indoors, it ensures great freedom of movement in various environments. The TFT screen of 38 x 32 mm, with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and 65,536 colors, provides clear visibility, making usage enjoyable. Additionally, the ECO mode helps reduce energy consumption while maintaining optimal performance. The storage capacity of 500 entries in the directory and the ability to send and receive SMS facilitate contact management. However, the Gigaset S850A also has some drawbacks. The lack of intercom function limits communication between multiple handsets, which can be a hindrance for certain uses. Furthermore, the absence of illumination on the keypad may make it difficult to use in low-light conditions. This model is not specifically designed for elderly people, which could make it less accessible for this demographic. Although the talk time is 12 hours, the charging time of 5 hours may seem long for those who want continuous use. Finally, the directory of 500 entries may be insufficient for users with a large number of contacts. Overall, the Gigaset S850A offers a generally positive user experience, with a user experience score of 80 and excellent battery life, reaching 85. Its modern design receives a good score of 78, but may not suit everyone. The features, while interesting, receive a score of 70, highlighting some limitations. In terms of value for money, the product is reasonably positioned with a score of 76, despite some reservations about the contact storage capacity.Score details
