The Gigaset GS6 Pro combines modern smartphone features with a commitment to sustainability. Equipped with a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display (120 Hz), the fast MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, and a generous 256 GB of internal storage, it’s perfectly equipped for intensive multitasking. The absolute highlight: The removable 5,300 mAh battery, which can be charged via 30W fast charging or wirelessly. Thanks to its rugged, IP68-certified housing, a high-resolution 64 MP triple camera, and future-proof Android.
I guess they are pretty clear about it in the first sentence: It’s an alternative for those looking for something more European. Which is valid even though it’s not why most people get a fairphone.
For those who place a high priority on maximizing value creation in Europe when buying a smartphone, Gigaset’s flagship is an interesting alternative to the Fairphone 6.
It’s crazy how Microsoft managed to effectively kill Nokia phones.
No, Nokia would have had quite some success with Maemo and/or MeeGo devices such as the N900 and N9 had Microsoft not killed the projects and tried to push Windows instead.
The N9 was ahead of its time. It feels modern to use even almost two decades later.
SailfishOS continues MeeGo as a new project. Other operating systems such as Android and iOS have copied many UI elements such as the gestures from that.
If Microsoft had done marketing for the existing OS instead if pushing Windows phones, there’s a chance Nokia phones running MeeGo would’ve become a common sight and probably still would be.
The N9 still feels great every time I take it out of the drawer, but with 2G and lacking updates, it isn’t really usable any longer.
Yeah, it’s an alternative to Fairphone as in “gosh, I want a European phone but the Fairphone is so expensive, I wish there was an alternative”. Sorry, I wasn’t very clear, nor is the article.
The company is Dutch but the phones are mostly manufactured and assembled in China. The company is transparent about this and discloses on their website their efforts to do this as ethically as they can.
A CEO recruited from Microsoft to Nokia, scraps the working OS and the near launch next one in favour of Windows Phone. Tanks business because the hardware is great but the OS is not ready and the ecosystem is abysmal.
I don’t think it was the point. They tried to elbow in late on the market with their Trojan CEO but had no strategy beyond the Nokia takeover.

Nokia killed themselves. Microsoft was just the wolf that gobbled up the dying lamb.

Aren’t Fairphone Dutch?

Yeah, I know, I more meant in comparison to this German phone (which I assume is also manufactured in China)…
HMD are Nokia but yeah if anyone can fuck up a lead its a tech giant.
Almost like sometimes it is the point
