Editorial note

The Gigaset GS170 positions itself as a functional smartphone offering a satisfactory user experience thanks to its user-friendly interface running on Android 7.0. Its MediaTek MT6737 processor, while sufficient for everyday tasks, may show limitations when using heavy applications or games, which could frustrate some users. The 2 GB of RAM also contributes to this feeling of slowdown in multitasking contexts. One of the strengths of this model is its 2500 mAh battery, which allows for prolonged use, with up to 34 hours of continuous audio playback, a major asset for active users. Additionally, its 5-inch screen with IPS technology offers vibrant colors and good contrast, although the resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels falls short of what some of its competitors offer. In terms of value for money, the Gigaset GS170 is appealing for those looking for an affordable and functional smartphone. However, the internal storage capacity of 16 GB may prove insufficient for users wanting to store numerous applications and multimedia files, although the possibility of expansion via a microSD card is an advantage to consider. In summary, the Gigaset GS170 is a wise choice for users who prioritize simple and efficient use, but those seeking superior performance and a higher screen resolution may be disappointed.
