Editorial note

The Gigaset GS290 stands out with its 6.3-inch display featuring a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, providing an immersive visual experience and vibrant colors. However, the lack of HDR support may limit display quality for certain multimedia content. With a MediaTek Helio P23 processor with 8 cores and a frequency of 2 GHz, performance is smooth, although the Android 9.0 version may seem outdated to some users. In terms of battery life, the 4700 mAh battery is a strong point, allowing for prolonged use without interruption, which is ideal for active users. The 16 MP rear camera captures decent images but may be considered inferior compared to other smartphones in the same category. Regarding design, although it is modern, the weight of 190 g may not appeal to those who prefer lighter devices. Finally, while the Gigaset GS290 offers good features for its price, its internal storage capacity of 64 GB may prove insufficient for users who download many applications or multimedia files, even with the possibility of expansion via microSD.
