Yes its a very good phone...if you like crappy trash that gives you nothing but problems

[@DavidWilliams-fl3ki]

I think it's TCL due to the NXTVISON display software

[@jevonsims900]

You're right, NXTVision is TCL's display color adjustment app.

[@coolfool13w]

its made by tcl for tmobile

[@Eriktheadikt]

It is utilizing the Samsung GM1 and pixel binning to 12mp though it has option for full 48mp codename was TCL Seattle 5G before launch, it is only IP58 rated(I don't mind), utilizes the TCL Dotch LCD display of which I think is one of the best LCDs I have seen. It is utilizing a Samsung GM1 48mp isocell main sensor pixel binned to 12mp with option in settings to take super pixel photos. Video up to 4K at 30FPS. The TCL GCam ports work on this however the stock app is very good, it's basically a cross between a TCL 10L and the 105G, Stereo Speakers, and a very stock Android experience. colors are true to life unlike AMOLED, which for photos I personally prefer, blacks are strong but not AMOLED deep. Great in direct sunlight display better than my OnePlus 7 Pro. At it's price point very worthwhile. Been using it more than my 7 Pro. It is my work phone and replaced my OnePlus 6T. So far extremely surprised by a lineup that, for T-Mobile has usually been subpar at best. This series by TCL puts the Revvl line in a different class imho, even the cheap Revvl 4 is a great device at it's 168 price point in my opinion

[@5after12]

It is pretty stellar. I also had the 6T and OnePlus 7 Pro, it reminds me of them, but I like this one better

[@Eriktheadikt]

@@5after12 yea I honestly was not expecting much just needed a 5 G phone to try and the price point on this was perfect, I tested several and it iMHO is superior to the A71 or A51 and even above the upcoming Velvet which is till may buy cause it's pretty cool looking

[@The_Wandering_Warrior1]

Finished paying my note 9 decided not to go high end this time. I was trying to make up my mind on the the A 71 5g but this def is better thanks for the bench mark. My question tho is what are your thoughts on Pixel 4a vs Revvl 5g. Thank you! P.s Cool indepth review i subbed to the Channel keep up!

[@5after12]

Thank you! I don't have the Pixel 4a, but my buddy Tony does and he is a big Pixel fan but was disappointed. It is tiny. The REVVL 5G is brand new to us, but seems like a better bang for your buck. I have a few videos up on the A71 5G already. That has been my son's main phone since we got it, but he is going to swap to the REVVL 5G. The Note 9 was an excellent phone.

[@coolfool13w]

i love the 5g revvl in in my town it seems that where i had a bad connection before i now have 5g and i average 150-200 meg a sec dl and upload

[@LucBoo]

Another phone to look at if I ever get the cash to upgrade 👀

[@5after12]

This one is pretty legit. We might pick it over the A71

[@mintuislam1870]

@@5after12 do you think, Revvl 5g is better than A71 5g ?

[@5after12]

I think so

[@Bigpound76]

Its a TCL phone so it won't be a standard Google phone app. It's not exactly stock android

[@oscarwins701]

It reminds of lg

Yeah, I can see that

[@noahkilpatrick2827]

Can you do the T-Mobile LG Velvet 5G

[@5after12]

Maybe, I am not sure though. I have the LG V60, which essentially everything about the Velvet, but better. The LG V60 is what I record most of my KZbin videos on. I like it for that. And the phone is cool, but every time I use it, I find myself missing my Note

[@jesuscervantesj82]

I loved your review but I can't live with ought a spen I've loved the note series sense I got my first one the note 7

[@5after12]

The Note 20 Ultra 5G is my new daily driver, replacing my beloved Note 10+. My son will be using the REVVL 5G

[@jesuscervantesj82]

@@5after12 i know the note 20 is so dam beast

[@TexasIronLegend]

According to your benchmark tests on each phone, the REVVL 5G provided 2.23 times more value than the Samsung you compared it to. 4.8 points per dollar vs 2.1 points per dollar.

[@5after12]

Nice. I am very impressed with the REVVL 5G, I have already swapped my son's phone from the A71 5G to the REVVL 5G.

[@mrcamjones1]

What's the charging watts on the phone. I might wait until the OnePlus Nord USA version comes out , it will have 30watt warp charge for around the same specs and price

[@Eriktheadikt]

18 watts QC 3.0, Samsung GM1 isocell main shooter, Manufactured by TCL, IP58 Water and dust resistant(not worried at this price point) TCL IPS Dotch Display(very great quality LCD iMHO) so far been a workhorse, have had since Saturday and using currently more than my OnePlus 7 Pro far more impressed than I thought for being my work phone.

[@HeelerHouse]

nord doesn't have any plans to come to the US.

[@mrcamjones1]

@@Eriktheadikt I'm not sure where your getting your info, OnePlus has stated they are by the end of the year. There's aready beta testing Nord in the USA.

[@Eriktheadikt]

@@mrcamjones1 I bought the device. I own the Nord and checked TCLs website as well all current 10 series devices support QC3.0, I am also in the phone business and like to stay informed. The OnePlus Device coming to the US may be the lower spec Aurora which as long as the camera is on par with other OnePlus devices I find will be stellar. The only thing I cannot figure out yet, but have emailed TCL to ask is, what it's using for glass on the display. CPU Z helps decipher a lot of info as well.

[@Eriktheadikt]

@@HeelerHouse there will be a variant in the US we just don't know what it will be, my suspicion is it will launch around 8T time end of this month

I figured that out towards the end of the video

[@Bigpound76]

I would've got this phone if tmobile hadn't offered the GS20FE 5G for free

[@palmviewlobos15]

Why does it say on the site it doesn't have band 12

[@5after12]

Probably a typo, box definitely says 12

[@palmviewlobos15]

@@5after12 awesome I will now look into this. To note, the phone is made by TCL. That's what the NXTVISION is, apparently they use it on their tv's for better gaming or reading.

[@mikefleck7659]

Would you Recommend this phone or velvet LG

[@5after12]

I haven't tried the Velvet so I couldn't compare. I do like my LG V60 though

[@MrJbigs84]

you can get this phone on metropcs for $200 with a new line !!!

[@5after12]

That's a good deal. I can't imagine a better phone for $200

Companies shouldn't spend so much on back cover looks. 99% will buy a protector anyways.
