Got mine yesterday and so far it’s a great phone to use
Congratulations Blessing. Enjoy your new phone
My first flagship phone in history and boy am i so proud of being one of the owners of this marvellous phone
Did you say “flagship?”
For my budget yeah its a flagship. Tell me a better brand new $150 phone on the market. Its no secret that basically its a low mid range phone but for $150, its value for money especially given those specs
Loving this one ….one of the best thank you gtel
I won infinity 9 at Chibuku Big promotion I would like to thank Delta for such a generosity.Iam enjoying and it’s really amazing
Hakuna Flagship yakadaro usanyepere vanhu iwe. It’s a good phone and affordable yes but FLAGSHIP NO. Most midrange phones from other brands are way better than this
l go for gtel
I support u but lack of an ultra wide lense makes me sick
It’s a good looking phone but 3GB of ram feels a little. Plus there is no ultra-wide camera, connot shoot 4k video, no Ip rating of water and dust resistance. Built quality doesn’t feel premium. However 5000mAh battery along with a 12nm processor makes the phone a bit ahead!!
Im sorry. Do I only get it from a Gtel shop with that price or somewhere else. I’m interested
Aw! The release date coincided with my birthday! I will make it a point to get one for myself. I love Gtel.
New brands handsets
