Editorial note

The Gigaset GS185 is a smartphone that stands out for several advantages. Its 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels offers a pleasant visual experience, although some users may find this resolution insufficient compared to current standards. The 4000 mAh battery is one of the model's strong points, ensuring extended battery life, ideal for daily use without frequent recharges. Additionally, the presence of 13 MP front and rear cameras allows for capturing quality images and videos, which is perfect for selfies and video calls. The support for memory cards up to 256 Go and wireless charging technology adds a touch of practicality. However, the Gigaset GS185 also has some drawbacks. The internal storage capacity of only 16 Go can quickly become limited for users wanting to install many applications or store multimedia files. The 2 Go RAM may restrict performance when using heavy applications or multitasking, which could hinder the user experience. Furthermore, the Android 8.1 operating system is relatively old and may not benefit from the latest security updates or features. Finally, the absence of FM radio may disappoint some users. In terms of design, the Gigaset GS185 is modern and sleek, with a brown color that gives it a certain sophistication. The value for money is fair, although the limitation of internal storage capacity may pose a problem for some. Overall, the Gigaset GS185 presents itself as an interesting choice for those looking for a functional smartphone with good battery life, despite its few limitations in terms of performance and storage.
