The tailor-made 5G outdoor smartphone
Gigaset GX6 “Made in Germany” with outstanding properties
A sleek and durable design, ultra-fast 5G, a powerful removable battery, fast wireless charging, a 120Hz display, WiFi 6, a dual camera system with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and yet dustproof, waterproof and military-grade rugged – with the GX6 Gigaset redefines the outdoor smartphone. After the great success of the GX290, the device sets new standards with top hardware and clever features. The Gigaset GX6 will go on sale on September 29th at an RRP of 579 euros.
“As with all our smartphones, we also offer top value for money with the GX6,” says Daniel Stojanovic, Head of Product Marketing. “The device is aimed at private users who lead an active lifestyle and have a challenging daily routine or pursue very demanding hobbies. But it also meets the needs of professional users who work a lot in the field and in harsh environments.”
Stojanovic knows from experience that sustainability is becoming increasingly important to people. Gigaset counters this with the 5,000 mAh removable battery, security updates for up to five years from market launch and the prospect of the next two Android updates up to version 14. Production of the GX6 at Gigaset’s main plant in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia, strengthens the regional economy , secures jobs, ensures short transport and delivery routes and makes the GX6 the only outdoor smartphone “Made in Germany”.
“When developing the Gigaset GX6, we wanted to meet the highest demands in the private and professional environment,” says Jörg Wissing, Senior Product & Business Development Manager. “High-quality components in an elegant but extremely robust device, made in Germany and yet at a fair market price. At the same time, of course, we wanted to integrate features that made our first outdoor smartphone, the GX290, so successful – such as wireless charging or the triple slot for two SIM cards and a memory card.”
Reliable and fast
The Gigaset GX6 supports super-fast charging with up to 30 watts via cable with a compatible charger and can charge the battery up to 90 percent in around 60 minutes. Wireless charging with up to 15 watts according to the Qi standard is also supported. The BatteryLife+ technology from Gigaset in the GX6 extends the battery life by up to 50 percent by presetting the charging threshold. If additional energy is required on the go, this is supplied by a separately available exchangeable battery, which can be replaced by the user himself.
The robustness of the Gigaset GX6 has been tested according to the MIL-STD-810H and IP68 standards – the device can withstand falls, strong vibrations, temperature fluctuations, moisture and dust. The housing can be cleaned with water, soap, alcohol or disinfectant.
Good hardware, good ideas
In addition to indispensable features such as USB 3.0, WiFi 6, NFC and Bluetooth 5.2, Gigaset shows attention to detail when it comes to the equipment of the GX6: The fingerprint sensor is located on the side of the housing in the on/off switch, the programmable physical function key facilitates access to certain functions or apps – and the classic 3.5 mm jack connection is also on board again. The 6.6-inch FHD+ punch-hole display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass and achieves a brightness of 550 nits, so that everything can be seen clearly even in bright sunlight. The 2.4 GHz MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G octa-core processor provides enough computing power.
For the first time in a Gigaset device, the 50 MP PDAF wide-angle camera has optical image stabilization (OIS). The 1/1.55″ sensor with a pixel density of 1,008 μm ensures brilliant images in poor lighting conditions.

The new Gigaset smartphone will be available in stores from October. The RRP is 579 euros. In addition to the operating instructions, the scope of delivery includes a USB-C charging and data cable as well as a hand strap that can be threaded into the eyelet of the GX6.
