Hello from Berlin once again, and today a company which is known for producing home DECT telephones had decided to go ahead and release three new smartphones. The ME Pure, ME and ME Pro come to us from GIGASET.
All three of the ME smartphones are said to have “optimised hi-fi sound” and have “been built with the quality and design that GIGASET is renowned for”.
The three models are as follows, but all have sapphire-protected cameras with a 0.2-second autofocus. All models feature a high-resolution 8 megapixel front camera with an 81.5-degree wide-angle lens.
The GIGASET ME AND ME Pro have a two-tone flash whilst the ME Pure has a single colour flash. There’s also something called “Focus Later”, which is inspired by SLR tech. This means that a rapid-fire shot can be taken with 5 different focal lengths, with you choosing the best later.

Also the GIGASET ME models are among the first smartphones to have a Type C USB port which is symmetrical and means you’ll be able to plug it in right first time. It also means that the phones can be recharged up to twice as fast as before.
The GIGASET ME Health Centre also comes as part of the deal, with a step counter and heart rate monitor.
You can buy these across China and Europe this autumn.
