Editorial note

The Gigaset GX290 presents itself as a robust and functional smartphone, ideal for users looking for a durable device. With its 6.1-inch display, it offers an immersive visual experience, although the resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels may disappoint some users, especially for multimedia content. In terms of performance, the MediaTek Helio P23 processor at 2 GHz ensures smooth usage, even with multiple applications open. However, the internal storage of only 32 GB may prove insufficient for those who need to store many files, despite the possibility of expansion via a microSD card. The 6200 mAh battery is one of the strong points of the GX290, allowing for impressive battery life with up to 50 hours of talk time on 2G, which is ideal for intensive use without frequent recharging. The robust design, with an IP68 certification, guarantees resistance to splashes and dust, although the weight of 279 g may make prolonged use less comfortable. In terms of features, the 13 MP camera with night mode is a plus, offering the ability to capture quality images even in low-light conditions. However, the lack of HDR support may disappoint users seeking a high-quality visual experience. Finally, the Android 9.0 operating system, while still functional, is relatively old and limits access to certain updates and recent features. Overall, the Gigaset GX290 is a solid choice for those who prioritize durability and battery life, but it may not suit those looking for more advanced features and a modern user experience.
