The size of the phone
This device has an awesome battery. The fact that it can charge up to two other devices makes it the ultimate power house of Android smart phones. 720p resolution means you can watch those greats movies when Zesa isn’t around lol. Overall great work from Gtel.
The phone is just a legend havng high definition deplay and great battery life meaning there wont be any need to always be looking for a power source the moment you leave the house not to mention that it is both Lte and cdma capaple thus cutting the cost of buying another cdma phone for ur africom line…this is indeed an awesome innovation from Gtel lm definitely saving up to get my hands on this device
The battery is awesome… I also love the size of the screen makes typing a breeze.
Gtel has proved to be a world class rival for other strong brands like samsung am proud that this is a home bred brand… i’m so much in love with the SL 5.5 n hope to improve to the X3
love the camera which takes really nice pics. the battery is also great considering its very practical in a country where power outages are a regular occurrence. love the big screen which is good for watching videos and pics.

Real value for money, designed for Zimbabwe especially the battery power and the CDMA and GSM sim combination.
the device redefines what you really look for in a phone with top of the world battery life and its killer spec….now thats the real deal
It looks like the word “awesome” was created just for Gtel X3. Look at every feature of it and u can’t help yourself
Very good phone, camera is good as well, battery life better than ever. Its worth the buy
Looks great, look forward to taking it for a spin…
Great Battery Life Ever and Power Saving Options
Lol ,where were u all this time? 20 comments in less than 4 hours. Techzim must awrd this fon to active visitors like kudzai , macd chip , fourwalls… Etc
a phone with top of the world battery life and its killer specification to save when it now then ,that’s the real deal.
Properly priced for its specs I think, and wait a moment, reverse charging “kwaa kumberi” – is great!
This device came at special time of the year, christmas. It has amazing features that you expect for a smartphone. GTel, you did a splendid job for the device. Keep it up
I want that damn phone!!!
Hamunyare kuda zvemahara!!
Thumps up GTel on your understanding of our energy needs in Zimbabwe. However, the moments we capture with our devices do matter a lot to us as well. Beyond this GTelX3, we of course anticipate better innovation in that regard. Nevertheless, you have done a good job.
The battery is the killer feature for me as its a Zim focused flagship feature rarely found in other flagships. I like that the X3 has a micro-sd card slot so data in the sd card is still available after the phone is unusable. Dual Sim is welcome as some of us use two sims.Also Android 5.1 lollipop is another likeable aspect that I can’t wait to try out as a Christmas present.
Great battery considering that we have electricity problems here in Zim and a phone like that gets you communicating for more than a day which is a plus aspect.
Gtel X3 is a Very good reason to upgrade to Gtel. Am surely going to upgrade. Thanks team Gtel.
can’t wait to get my hands ob this x3…… .luks awesome

Lol! Wangoti zvemahara here, maZimba anomuka. Kuda zvinhu sepepabhegi.
Just check comments on Powertel dongle and this GTel. This is the mentality which kills our country. I call it NGO donor mentality.
I cannot comment about the phone as l have not used it and its of NO use to me since l will not lay my hands to test it. I cannt phraise something l have not tested or used.
I like the battery of this devise, a battery which can serve as a power bank for charging other phones! That’s awesome. It’s good to have such a battery considering it’s running Lollipop with the way Lollipop is eating my battery after right now.
dats a wold class phone .100% Zimbabwean
Its not 100% Zimbabwean
Great specs.
It looks awesome and amazing. I can’t wait to get my hands on this X3.
wow 6020mAh is awesome, especially in these Zesaless days.
Great phone with an amazing battery. I like this phone considering zesa crisis
Oh there’s a competition. Commented earlier not knowing. This is what I find great, Battery power and the CDMA ,LTE ,GSM dual sim combination.Now I can enjoy the best of every network.
BATTERY LIFE ESP WITH THE CURRENT ZESA STATUS IS THE BEST AS WELL AS CDMA CAPABILITY
The camera is lethal 13MP and the price and design is mwaah thank you Chamunorwa Shumba
Camera looks pretty good at 13MP.
This phones camera sucks . However it’s appearance pleases the eye.
Awesome battery and good phone grip
Good battery and nice grip
I just love the battery life, extremely relevant for Zimbabwe and metal casing for durability due to our long device lifecycle in the country
Overpriced. Just rebranding of a chinese phone which is not bad in itself except that’s is way Overpriced. In reality is probably worth half is price and the rest young to gtel as profit
Because of the nature of my work normally i utilise public wifi hot spots for my 6hrs + day internet connections. The battery life of the Gtel X3 will really be a changer on how i execute my work. The 2g RAM will also bode well for me. Screen size is also superb.
Love the spec’s new O.s Android 5.1, quad core processor ,front and back camera , back metal casing covering a long lasting battery. Supports all internet networks and great design features guys would love to feel the new gadget.
The best thing about this phone is its battery life, considering the power situation in Zimbabwe. Also packing high-end features at a more affordable price makes you fall in love with the device St first glance.
With the 6020 mAh Long Life power battery it is awesome taking into cognisance our environment. This must have been their selling point I guess. Apart from this there is CDMA, LTE, GSM dual sim combination making it easy to enjoy the best of every network on top of the specs and the design
The awesome part is the battery that can serve as a power bank for charging other phones! That’s awesome. It’s good to have such a battery.
It has a great camera. Android phones have a weakness of poor batteries but Gtel has conquered. More battery life means more fun.
Great phone good display I think its ips or better because of the screen visibility in sunlight not to mension great shots from the camera well done gtel a great device I would recomend it
Battery is best feature
Wow, people really want free smartphones hey. Well, its a got killer specs. Remains to be seen if its not just on paper. Good luck to you all and do update on how it is when you do win the phone.
it is beyond expectations, It has a large screen which is a great feature as well as its long lasting battery 2 days hey that’s an enhanced fact that you can charge your other devices using your own mobile phone. That 13MP camera is one more reason to love this phone . awesome Gtel all the way. no any other brand loyal to Gtel
The device is excellent it supports LTE and CDMA technology, which is a big deal for users that want to maximise on CDMA which support Africom and Powertel networks which are cheaper on data and voice than GSM. The X3 also support LTE which is the latest super fast GSMA technology. The phone also works as a mobile power bank and its 6020 mAh battery can even last two day after one charge.
excellent phone which is affordable… for a $390 phone its just to much to be real. starting with the size i lyk it , i can browse anything, watch movies, games in clear hd and with the 6020 mAh battery ZESA is no longer a problem. Great camera too 13mg is enough to share what i like faster since it supports LTE and this CDMA now available in most cities network and internet speeds a no longer a problem. i also lIKE the metallic covers. last it is material design from the 5.1 lollipop and faster processor and a bigger ram ensuring fast an reliable performance in all applications. it is just a dream phone
The battery is the best part of that fone, then there is the size and the fact that its a Zim phone
panoti battery apa ndopanda bigger! and the warranty….it makes the purchase worthwhile
I have never used a GTel device before but when I discovered about the features the X3 has, I became a GTel fan and I want my own X3 ASAP. The phablet has an amazing battery life something I can use for a long time without charging every time I use it. I also like the 13 MP Camera coz am a fan of taking awesome pictures and the X3 has all the capabilities. In addition the X3 has an amazing metallic body and a smooth rear end another reason why I wanna get my hands on this amazing device. Further more it a beautiful HD screen. For a moment I thought the iphone 6s is the only phone with an HD screen but was wrong coz there is a beautiful X3.
I have 2 sim cards and the GTel X3 comes with a two slot micro sim card trey, amazing right? With the latest android operating system, I can install any android application I want without any problems. Personaly I love watching movies and mobile gaming and the X3 has the best screen for that.
A good processor, a good RAM and 16 GB of installed memory, I can possibly do many things on this device with the LTE Technology.
In short the GTel X3 is the best thing to start 2016 with, capturing good fireworks photos on New Years Eve.
GTel X3 is just amazing imagine the huge battery is not only a very reliable source for the device, but it can also double as a power source for charging other mobile devices and to add on that amazing feature a fully charged X3 with extensive use such as gaming, IM interaction, occasional photography, YouTube, the odd episode or 2 of your favourite shows, some music and a few video clips will give you 2 days on a full charge,that just beats all the competition as the best mobile ever created,if you got one, you have the best mobile phone,a worthy purchase #GtelX3Beyond
the things people say or do for free stuff 🙂
Uhm, we are still wondering who won it @Techzim? Or you are yet to pick a winner
This X3 phone is the kind of phone i was looking for a phone that supports both GSM and CDMA, they have heeded to my call thumbs up for it
it is beyond expectations, It has a large screen which is a great feature as well as its long lasting battery 2 days hey that’s an enhanced fact that you can charge your other devices using your own mobile phone.
