Nougat for the Gigaset GS170

To match the product name GS170, Gigaset has switched the operating system over to the latest software Android 7.0 (Nougat). That entails a raft of innovations. The operating system's performance is improved and power consumption reduced, thus resulting in a longer battery life. Intuitive features, such as multi-window support, also improve presentation on the screen, meaning that two windows can be shown simultaneously, for example.

 

Draw symbols to open apps

The smart features of the GS170 also offer something else special.

The high By drawing certain symbols on the display with their finger, users can open specific apps. For example, the letter "W" opens the messaging app WhatsApp, while sports news can be displayed with an "S". The Gigaset GS170 stores up to eight predefined letters. The smart touchscreen also displays its abilities when screenshots are created: All that takes is for the user to swish three fingers across the display from top to bottom.
