T-Mobile Revvl 5G | My Thoughts/Review. The Good and the Bad

[@blueangelhdtv1844]

I made a game test on this Revvl 5G. It had no lags. It's great for gamers.

[@drdoc7508]

what is latest android OS for this model?

[@lauritormaschy4966]

Let me just say one realistic fact that I learned the hard way. You have to know about the phone BEFORE you purchase it!!!!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Nothing about the video quality ? Is it 720p, 1080p or 4K ?

[@NancyW82]

I recently accidently deleted the stock clock and weather on the home screen and can not get it back. I hate all the widgets. Do you have any tips on how to get it back? TIA!

[@petulaclyde4858]

I have are. Revvly +, I have insurance on it, can I get another revvly in the place of it?

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

Developer mode won't let you change the button colors?

[@paposwing2925]

Watching this video on my T-Mobile revvl 5G and loving it. Only paid $100 for it on promotion. It's an awesome phone, period. If you want a perfect phone, then go and spend 1K+. More than good enough for me.

[@joe-rm5tg]

Where did you get this phone on promotion for $100 if you don't mind me asking

[@paposwing2925]

@@joe-rm5tg At T-Mobile store in Connecticut. They had a promotion $200 off so my wife and I bought two phones. She got an iPhone. We were with Metro PCS before.

[@paposwing2925]

@@joe-rm5tg Also, I don't think the phone price is currently $400. Maybe $300 which explains why I got it for $100+tax & fees

@ Papi Swing Thanks for replying back

So I found a mostly working GCam port for the Revvl which aids but I have felt the phone did extremely well at it's price point faring well for its price point as it uses a higher quality sensor then the LG Velvet, the LG uses the same sensor as the Samsung A51. I preferred the screen and the speakers on the Velvet for its crispness. I couldn't get used to the velvet now my brother is the proud owner of the LG Velvet, I opted to keep my Revvl.

[@jefferydsmith9966]

Can iMessages be transferred to this phone?

[@cjrenick]

Will this phone get updates?

[@joeMW284]

Wouldn't count on it. But I don't see that as being as much of an issue these days. Android is pretty mature at this point.

[@TheHEROFamily]

TCL only offers 1yr updates. But as a tmobile mash up. Not sure if they will extend that longer

[@andrewonochie]

It should be getting Android 11 at least

[@andrewonochie]

And there are 2 years of quarterly updates

[@rouggawahwah]

Have had an Revvl 5G since February. So far, received two security updates and Android 11 upgrade.

[@lifegoeson1877]

Can't wait for more videos on the lg velvet

[@rambotolero2042]

sorry to tell but LG phone now is dead..i was planning to buy that beautiful LG velvet but i think LG is done.

[@presidenttnediserp428]

Good reviews.👍🏾 I didn't know the back was glass. Picked one up from MetroPCS for $100 off due to an eligible upgrade. I think it's the same discount for new customers. Immediately had sales associate install a protective glass shield and a protective case which covered up that beautiful notification button. The stereo speakers are as feeble as mono which is disappointing. One thing I don't like is how sensitive the touch response is. A gentle nudge causes the screen to scroll at high speed either all the way to the top or bottom sometimes. I just wanted to read the next sentence! Expandable memory is up to 256 GB which is cool. Now I just have to find a reputable dealer who won't sell me a fake micro SD card! Keep up the great work!

[@peterlevan4719]

Mine came with Android 11

[@bowsershark]

You mention, once 5G comes out, it will be good. I mean we have been duped and 5G is not a factor in getting major bars and 5G phone service. I considered this phone

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

What launcher are you using?

[@SicErikTech]

Lawnchair

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

@@SicErikTech I thought you were saying launcher launcher...lol

[@peterford9369]

Sounds like a good phone. Sounds a bit much for plastic, iffy head phone jack, and some other specs, but I do love stereo speakers. I have Pixel 2 XL now, came from the Alcatel 4s,. But those are front facing,,,is this? I so miss tap to wake and sleep with the Pixel. I will never understand why that software isn't standard practice in all phones. It's so user friendly. Aids so much in battery savings. Anyway, the biggest value this phone has is storage, that's great, i didn't hear the ram amount. Still, a little high for those specs.

[@mychaelgriffin]

Hey Peter I used to have a Alcatel too and I've been trying to find Alcatel phone and it's been very difficult so I called my local MetroPCS and they said that the revel is the one to go with because it has the fake glass filling like the Alcatel my old Alcatel felt like a iPhone and I really miss Alcatel so much

[@peterford9369]

@@mychaelgriffin Me too. I truly do not understand phone manufacturers. Must be, they fall to the majority. I get so many comments saying,,,get a portable WiFi speaker. Front speakers are no big deal. But I was disappointed when my 4s went kaput,, after only a year plus. The new Alcatel phones just aren't the same. So I went Pixel. But yeah I miss mine too. Now its a paper weight. 🙄

[@mychaelgriffin]

@@peterford9369 so what.phone would you go.with.i dislike the plastic Smart phones I like the Alcatel phones so much better they said TMobile by metro PC'S and cricket wireless has there own.verison.of Alcatel phones so.yea with garila Glass

[@peterford9369]

@@mychaelgriffin Well what I did as looked for phones with front stereo speakers. Because that's what I liked about my 4s. I went to the Pixel 2 XL. Good size, metal phone. But I went to ebay and looked for the Pixel, new but because it was an older model, I got it for about a third of new cost. That lasted about 2 year's. Now I have the 3XL. Again got it new, but being a year and a half older model. I paid less than half. But you should get what you like, and can afford. I have to budget shop,,,😊,,, I'm not wealthy. People spend several hundred for a device for 1 or 2 years. Crazy. My pixel has a 1440 screen, Snapdragon 845 chipset. Really good camera but basic. No 4, 5,6 lenses. It's fine for me. Keep looking. Lot's to choose from. Good luck 🤞

[@blueangelhdtv1844]

Oh and the back feels good 😊🤗

[@tokyodragonmasterlee409]

great review, is that 120 hrz

[@SicErikTech]

No, just 60hz

[@tokyodragonmasterlee409]

[@peterlevan4719]

Good fone but it sure isn't my LG G8x. That fone was a BEAST. They forced me to "upgrade" to 5G

[@Texdan25]

I have that LG phone too, sad that I have to get rid of it. Are you liking the REVVL Ok?

[@peterlevan4719]

@@Texdan25 actually I am liking it more than I expected. Quick. Minimal Bloatware. After 20 years of LGs I am surprised how quickly I got used to this. It's cool

[@peterfrancis3865]

This phone had nice bright screen and better cameras then Samsung.

You are sick? What is wrong with you? If you don't mind saying. You sound healthy, but it's hard to tell in videos.

Really nice phone but it doesn’t work if you have sprint don’t buy it

[@agodisgreat6775]

[@eddie3468]
