Gigaset, Europe’s DECT Leader and Now Makes Real Smartphones too

Gigaset

The GS6 is the reason Gigaset matters in 2026. It is a 5G Android phone built in Germany, with a removable battery, clean software, and a seven-year update commitment, at €339. That is the story. The fact that Gigaset also leads Europe in DECT phones makes the combination harder to ignore.

The GS6 and What it Actually Offers:

The GS6 and GS6 PRO carry a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display at 120 Hz, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 octa-core processor with 8 GB RAM, and a removable 5,300 mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The removable battery is the standout spec for anyone who has watched a sealed mid-ranger become unusable after two years. Gigaset includes a pry tool in the box, which tells you everything about how seriously they take repairability.

Software is pure Android 15, no bloatware, with a bypass charging mode that protects the battery during extended screen use and a seven-year security update commitment. The planned upgrade path runs through Android 17. Storage is 128 GB on the GS6 and 256 GB on the GS6 PRO, each expandable up to 1 TB, with IP68 certification and eSIM support on both. Pricing is €339 for the GS6 and €449 for the GS6 PRO.

The camera covers a 64 MP main sensor, 8 MP ultra-wide, and 2 MP macro, with a 32 MP front camera for video calls. A solid everyday setup, not a photography flagship. Production at the Bocholt facility runs on 100% green electricity, and packaging is FSC-certified and plastic-free. For European buyers who treat sustainability as a real purchase criterion, these are verifiable claims, not marketing copy.

Why the Company Behind it Matters:

Since its acquisition by VTech Holdings Ltd. in April 2024, Gigaset has continuously expanded and optimized its portfolio. That backing gives Gigaset the R&D and distribution reach of a major consumer electronics group, while keeping manufacturing and backend services in Germany. On the professional side, Canadian telecom specialist Mitel chose to relocate production of its IP phones to the Bocholt facility, which is a concrete signal about the quality standards Gigaset holds at that factory. The same factory that makes the GS6.

One More Product Worth Knowing:

The COMFORT 600 SIM launched in March 2026 at €69.99, using VoLTE over a single nano-SIM with no router or landline required. It is a focused product for rural homes, holiday properties, and small businesses where landline infrastructure is gone. One use case, handled cleanly.

Who the GS6 Actually Suits:

The GS6 is the right phone for buyers who want a mid-range Android device that lasts, with a replaceable battery, clean software, long update support, and manufacturing transparency they can actually verify. For those comparing [European Android smartphones] or deciding between Gigaset and other [Made in Germany electronics], the GS6 is the starting point worth evaluating first.
