Yealink T48GSeven-inch screen, no touch, executive presence.

Why the T48G is on the catalog.

The T48G is the original T48 chassis: 7-inch high-resolution color screen, 16 SIP lines, 16 programmable keys, USB headset support. The screen alone is the selling point — at 800×480, it shows full caller ID, line status for 16 SIP registrations, and a multi-line call log all at once. For executive desks where the phone is part of the room's visual statement, the size matters.

What it is not: a touchscreen. The T48S and T48U variants added touch capability for $30-50 more. The T48G is the budget version of the 7-inch chassis — you navigate with the 5-way physical pad and soft keys instead of tapping. For executives who actually preferred physical keys (and there are more of them than you might think), the T48G is the right pick.

Where to spend more: the T48S adds a touchscreen for $30, and the T48U adds dual USB plus the touchscreen for $50. For modern deployments touchscreen is generally expected on a phone in this price tier — the T48G's non-touch screen feels dated even though the panel quality is the same. The T48G earns its spot in the catalog mostly through fleet matching and price-conscious executive-desk replacements.
