Looking to buy Gigaset smartphones? Compare all the models 🇩🇪
Looking for a Gigaset smartphone? This overview lists all the Gigaset smartphones in our database, with the current prices from our partner shops shown side by side. Gigaset is one of the few brands that still develops and assembles its devices in Germany, with a focus on repairability and a long service life. We compare products completely independently: we don’t earn any more from one brand than from another. Use the filters to narrow down the selection and find the device that suits you straight away.
What should you look out for when choosing a Gigaset smartphone?
Gigaset stands out for its origins and durability, not its processing power. The handsets are in the mid-range segment and are designed for people who want to use their phone for years and be able to replace parts themselves. Go through these points before making your choice.
Made in Germany: what it does and doesn’t mean
Gigaset develops and assembles its phones in Bocholt, Germany, making it one of the last manufacturers to do so in Europe. As a result, development and production are closely linked, and parts remain available for longer. This does not mean that the entire handset is European: chips, screens and camera sensors almost always come from Asia. If you’d like to look more broadly at handsets made in Europe, take a look at the European mobiles.
GS series or GX series
Gigaset divides its smartphones into two ranges. Which one suits you best depends mainly on where you’ll be using the handset.
- GS series: the everyday range. The GS6 and GS6 Pro feature a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 5G and memory expansion via microSD. The difference between the two lies in the storage: 128 GB for the GS6 and 256 GB for the Pro, both of which can be expanded up to 1 TB.
- GX series: the rugged range, certified to IP68 and IP69K standards and tested to MIL-STD-810H. The GX30, announced in June 2026, has a 6.58-inch screen, whilst the GX50 features a larger 6.77-inch AMOLED screen.
Where are the compromises?
In terms of processing power and the camera. The GS6 and GS6 Pro are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300, a solid mid-range chip that struggles with heavy games and demanding editing apps. The camera setup consists of a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens, though the latter adds little in practice. Anyone prioritising camera performance above all else won’t find what they’re looking for here. However, if you’re looking for a device that’s built to last and can be repaired, this is the right choice.
Removable battery and repair
The battery in the current Gigaset models can be replaced by the user, a feature that has disappeared from virtually every other brand. The GS6 and GS6 Pro use a 5300 mAh battery, the GX30 a 5000 mAh battery and the GX50 a 5100 mAh battery. Spare replacement batteries can be ordered from Gigaset. For anyone wishing to use a handset for five years or more, this is the strongest argument in favour of this brand: a worn-out battery does not mean the end of the handset.
How long will you receive updates?
Seven years of security updates for both ranges. The difference lies in the Android versions. The GS6 and GS6 Pro were launched with Android 15 and have a planned upgrade path to Android 16 and 17. The GX30 and GX50 launch on stock Android 16, without any pre-installed third-party apps, but Gigaset has not committed to any version upgrades. So, with the GX series, you’ll receive security patches for years to come, but you may never get a newer version of Android. Bear in mind, too, that seven years is a commitment, not a guarantee, from a brand that will have a different owner from 2024 onwards.
Who is Gigaset?
Gigaset has its roots in Siemens. In 1941, Siemens opened a branch in Bocholt, which began manufacturing telephones in 1948. The brand became best known for its cordless DECT home phones and later also entered the Android smartphone market. According to Gigaset itself, around 500 people work on development, design and production.
The past few years have been turbulent. In 2023, Gigaset filed for voluntary insolvency proceedings and was taken over in April 2024 by the VTech Group, a Hong Kong-based conglomerate. Since then, it has continued as Gigaset Technologies GmbH. For those buying for the long term, this is important to know: development and production in Bocholt are continuing, but the brand is no longer in German hands.
