*Press Release*
Munich, November 16th, 2017
*Smartphone with no limits*
Gigaset presents new smartphone models GS370 and GS370 plus with 5.7" 18:9
HD+ panorama display and powerful dual-camera technology
*With the smartphone models GS370 and GS370 plus, Gigsaset has another
highlight to present at the end of the year. These models impress with
cutting-edge features, such as the 5.7" 18:9 HD+ IPS panorama display and
latest dual-camera technology. The devices' exterior design has also been
enhanced and now combines an aluminum housing with 2.5D glass for the first
time, further improving the haptics and weight.*
*5.7" 18:9 panorama display*
The new GS370 models' panorama display in particular sets standards. A 5.7"
HD+ IPS panorama display in 18:9 super-wide-screen format has been
integrated into a housing for 5.2" screens. A total of 83% of the
smartphone's front comprises an active display, enhancing not only the
visual experience, but also the legibility of various types of content. The
display's resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels presents apps, games, photos and
videos in pin-sharp quality. Thanks to IPS technology, content is not only
shown with sharp crispness, but can also be seen perfectly from any angle.
So that scratches or fingerprints do not impair the display's brilliant
colors, the devices come with especially resistant 2.5D antismudge glass. As
a result, smudges left from fingerprints are reduced and dirt has less
opportunity to adhere to the display. One visual highlight is the display's
rounded edges, which contributes to the 2.5D glass not only looking good,
but also feeling good.
*High-end aluminum design*
In its GS370 models, Gigaset sets store by a high-quality premium look
created by the seamless blending of the panorama display's 2.5D glass with
the aluminum rear. The colors Jet Black (GS370 and GS370 plus) and Brilliant
Blue (GS370 plus) are available for selection. Use of aluminum reduces the
devices' weight and thickness further as well as improves thermal
conductivity. The new models weigh in at just 145 grams with dimensions of
152 x 72 x 8.2 millimeters.
*Latest camera technology*
The main camera of the new GS370 models consists of a dual-camera module
that combines a 13-megapixel camera with PDA focus function, f/2.0 aperture,
5 piece-lens and an 8-megapixel 120 wide-angle camera. This powerful
combination means blur-free photos with outstanding colors are easy to take.
Helping here in particular is the static focus of the wide-angle camera. The
front camera has a resolution of 5 (GS370) or 8 (GS370 plus) megapixels.
*Limitless creativity*
A powerful camera is one of the key features of every smartphone. But not
only the photo itself has to be a success: Optional effects and filters are
crucial to creating the perfect snapshot that can be shared right away on
Instagram or other social media channels. That is why the GS370 models offer
a large range of artistic effects.
The integrated multieffect software enables photos to be shot in sepia or
monochrome. The bokeh setting allows fuzziness to be integrated into photos
and defined areas outside the image focus to deliberately appear blurred.
This allows depth to be artistically added to images. Picture-in-picture
mode, where the main and front camera are used simultaneously with the two
pictures combined into one photo, permits users to take a selfie in front of
the hotel at the same time as a view of the sea as a memento of their
vacation. No less important are the beauty and panorama modes, which provide
popular effects already familiar from the GS170 and GS270 models.
*Action cam feeling with 1080p resolution*
The GS370 models permit high-definition videos to be taken at any time in
1080p resolution at 30 FPS, making every recording lusher, more detailed and
livelier. This is particularly interesting for action-packed recordings,
since even quick and unsteady movements can be captured fluidly and with
reduced jitter. And, of course, effects are a must here as well. Thanks to
slow-motion mode, scenes appearing mundane at first glance can be
experienced completely differently and replayed later in top quality on a TV
or the smartphone.
*High performance with style*
Inner values are what count - and that also goes for the GS370 models. The
1.5-GHz octa-core processor ensures smooth operation. It and the 3 or 4
(GS370 plus) gigabyte RAM mean multitasking and concurrent use of multiple
apps is no problem. Fast downloads and fluid streaming is ensured by 4G LTE
Category 6. The 3,000 mAh battery has the staying power to guarantee
long-lasting enjoyment of the smartphone. The integrated fast-charge
technology recharges the battery with 5V/2A within a short time, while full
charging takes around two hours. Also on board: USB 2.0 with On-The-Go
technology. It allows USB devices such as keyboards or hard disks to be
connected directly along with their power supply.
*Android 8 is coming*
"We know how important the issue of the operating system is for our
customers, who often express a bit of uncertainty about this when they come
to buy a product. We aim to ensure clarity," says Raphael Dörr, Head of
Corporate Communications & Investor Relations at Gigaset AG. "The new GS370
models are currently shipped with Android 7.0 (Nougat); however, an update
to Android 8 (Oreo) is planned for Q2 2018. As a result, we ensure our
customers have a future-proof device they can use for as long as possible."
*Permanent dual SIM and microSD*
The GS370 models have three card slots. That means two SIM cards and a
microSD memory card with up to 128 GB can be used at the same time. As a
result, the GS370 models are not only ideal companions in countries with
high roaming charges and practical devices for anyone wishing to use just
one smartphone for both work and private life, they also offer a low-cost
means of expanding storage space.
*Interactive from Bluetooth to VoWiFi*
The GS370 models support high-speed 4G LTE CAT6 connection with Bluetooth
4.0 LE, WLAN with 2.4 and 5 GHz, VoLTE and VoWiFi as well as a raft of other
fast, forward-looking wireless standards. VoLTE and VoWiFi in particular
offer users future potential. For example, VoWiFi allows all WLAN networks
to be used to transmit voice calls in top quality. VoLTE, on the other hand,
offers ultimate voice quality on the move. The advantage of both connection
standards is the significantly faster connection setup[1].
*Multi-Fingerprint*
The enhanced fingerprint sensor is a winning feature not just because of its
especially fast response time but also due to its versatility. It can be
used to unlock the smartphone and at the same time acts as a multifunctional
key, supporting up to five fingerprints for different applications, from
photo applications to browser scrolling through to answering calls.
*Availability and price*
The models Gigaset GS370 and Gigaset 370 plus in the colors Jet Black (GS370
and GS370 plus) and Brilliant Blue (GS370 plus) are now on sale in the
Gigaset online shop and will be available from specialty retailers and
online sources as of November at the price of EUR279.00 and EUR299.00
respectively. Two variations of a protective case can also be purchased from
the Gigaset online shop as a practical accessory for the devices .
