More and more people in Germany mainly use mobile phones for their calls. But the landline connection is far from dead. AVM knows this too and is bringing a new DECT telephone onto the market with the Fritz!Fon X6.
As part of the IFA 2022, AVM announced a number of innovations, including the Fritz!Fon X6. It replaces the popular Fritz!Fon C6 as the current model and, in addition to the usual telephone functions, also has a number of special features.
Range of functions of the Fritz!Fon X6
The Fritz!Fon X6 is a cordless DECT telephone for landline connections. It communicates with the Fritzbox’s DECT station and uses it to access standard functions such as telephone books, call blocks and up to five integrated answering machines. Users can save contacts directly on the phone in the phone book, edit them later or delete them. The menu also gives you access to new ringtones, Internet services such as e-mails or podcasts and various convenience functions such as a wake-up call, call forwarding, baby monitor or night light.
In addition, commands, for example for the smart home, can also be entered via the Fritz!Fon X6. In addition to the time, the weather or missed calls, a smart home overview can also be displayed as the start screen on the phone. They can be used to switch smart lamps or sockets installed in the home network directly.

New: The freely assignable function key
With the Fritz!Fon X6, AVM promises high voice quality thanks to Full-Duplex HD. The TFT color display has a size of 2.4 inches and has a brightness, proximity and movement sensor for energy-efficient operation. As with previous AVM phones, there are two volume control buttons on the side. There is also a jack for headphones. A new feature of the Fritz!Fon X6, however, is the additional function button that can be freely assigned and, if desired, leads directly to a preferred menu item such as Smart Home.
AVM offers the Fritz!Fon X6 in a white and black version. Visually, it is reminiscent of a mixture of the rather bulbous design of the C6 and the stylish, narrow case of the C5. The latter is shown, for example, by the round menu button. With a recommended retail price of 89 euros, it is also more expensive than the Fritz!Fon C6. The new DECT telephone should be available in both color versions during the fourth quarter.
