Furthermore, around 50 new security features were implemented, which can be found prominently in a separate privacy section in the settings. A new setting controls location access: An app can be restricted to a specific usage time, and if the app is not in use, it cannot check the location in the background.

The environment is important to us
At Gigaset we are very much involved in sustainability – starting with the recycling of production materials and extending to technological innovations and logistical processes. Gigaset GX290 plus, for example, is supplied in a packaging made of recyclable and compostable grass fibers. This fast-growing raw material is sourced from local sources and is produced with significantly lower CO2 emissions and significantly reduced water and energy consumption. In addition, we do not use plastic in the interior of the packaging except for the adhesive film to protect the display. This is just a first step on a long road to more sustainable production. That is why we are working on sustainable concepts for our common future every day.
