I just brought this and have to say performance is almost indistinguishable from the performance of my previous flagship device. Battery has been good. Screen is solid. Basically everything I need.
Bought this a few days ago with service, case, and screen protector for a little over 400 bucks. It's worth every penny. Super fast and the 5G service is super fast. Highly recommend it.
I 've had the revvl 5g for a month and it's a really good device for the price. I haven't had any problems at all. Very close at performance to my lg g8 which is a flagship device. Got mine at $200 from T-Mobile. Great video.
I really appreciate the amount of USEFUL information you always provide in your videos. Especially regarding this phone, which isn't getting much coverage, even though this phone is going to be on more people's radar than other phones.(I'm looking at this from someone who lives in the US) The only other content I've seen on this phone only included what the website already mentions about this phone. To most people, the specs don't mean anything; what matters to the average person is will this phone be a good everyday phone. That question is almost always answered in your videos. THANK YOU
Got mine 2 days ago on T-Mobile I was looking for something on the cheap side but with good ram,good storage and decent performance 👌. Not to mention 🔋 is really good and almost stock android great video as always!
@@TechRight Nice Review! But I don't like Metro by T-Mobile. I use AT&T Moto G Pure Prepaid Phone. And all have to pay is only $40 a month for my unlimited data talk and text. 👍
Just ordered mines. It was free. My current phone is no longer going to be compatible with t mobile and this was one of the free 5g phone they were advertising on my upgrade.
Oh I was under the impression for returning customers will get some kind of bonus. These phone companies not giving nobody any kind of perks to stay existing customers. These are part of the reasons why a lot of people jump phone company the phone company because nobody value existing customers.
I just upgraded to this phone. I can't wait until it comes between tomorrow and Friday. I'm so excited because it's my favorite colors and the phone looks so cool to me🤗
I have watched many reviews as I'm phone shopping. No one mentions the notification light. Its so upsetting. I live for that light. Thanks for helpjng me make my choice
I think the light will be on the power button I was watching another review on this phone they said the light will be on the power button when u get a message or email
Had the unit about a year and a half. When I got the new sim for T Mobile and the unit updated the phone then started falling apart. The fingerprint sensor randomly does not work, the micro sd card slot stopped working, and now the battery is swelling out the back of the unit. I was hoping the unit was going to last longer.
I just got mine through their add a line free promotion. The only thing you pay for is the phone. I really like the fact that it's 5G, and it has 128 GB. I still intend to add more GB to this phone. So now I have a back up phone that's 5G. Unfortunately I had to pay $400.00 for the phone.
I'm going to be switching back to Metro at the beginning of January. I switched to boost because I thought they were on T-Mobile's network also but Boost is on Dish network. Boost is way better but there's no truly unlimited data plan anymore so I have to have Data saver on all the time or I'll burn through 35gb in about 21 days, I have the Stylo 6 now which is decent. The processor should have definitely been the Snapdragon 665 (at least) with a scree this big. The Battery is good and last over a day and the screen is nice also but Metro is definitely the better device provider and I want to get either the Revvl 5g or Galaxy A51 5g. I live in NYC so get a good 5g signal.
Boost mobile does use TMobile towers. Dish owns them but operates on TMobile network. I worked at boost for over 3 months. Dish doesn't have its own towers.
I agree, I'm getting the new iPhone in 2020, but this phone was brought to my attention due to my grandma so now I have to review it to be able to inform her well about it x_x
Just bought one... questions: How to take SCREENSHOTS? ALSO, on the quick pull-down there is no SOUND OPTION [on, vibrate, off]... any suggests for a non-techie? thx
I used to have a Alcatel and it has a fake gorilla Glass and I was wondering does this phone have it as well or no or is it more like plastic like the Motorola phone
New phone does not work, nor the replacement given me. Drops calls after short durations. Call history shows empty, and triggers an error message, "Phone has stopped working- close ap." No owners manual in print or online. T Mobile dealer unable to fix. Online tech support refers me to a site that requires I pay $1 for access.
I got this phone a week ago. It seems like it is closing apps that are running in the background causing me to miss notifications from those apps. For example, I keep on having to reopen my Nest App. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. I've tried turning off battery optimization and so on...also no luck. Turned autostart to manual... hopefully fixes it
Akinyemi, I like it a lot. I think I resolved the issue I was having. It is very fast and high performance for a budget 5g phone. I actually like it better than my old Galaxy 9+
Oh you are wrong, the battery will last for days on end, if set idle. Or If you want to watch Netflix, this phone will play, Hours and hours of it I watched a whole season of the Blacklist on netflix, on one charge, yah, 14 episodes, approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour each episode, on low settings and low volume of course. Try that on a $2500 phone. And oh, hey this device cost $13.00 to manufacture, and Market, each device, including all software and battery, as well as the boxing, labeling Printed documentation.
Don't forget ZTE Axon 10 Pro, currently selling for about the same if not less. Fully compatible with all TMobile bands as well as AT&T. Way better phone albeit no 5G. Then again 5G is still hit or miss as of now...
If you have a solid 5G Network? Revvl 5G , Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, Motorola One 5G are the most affordable models available (but there's only one you can actually walk into TMobile / Metro and check out!) It may take another 2 years before I make the switch, but we know which Carriers are ahead of the game thinking about Customers (especially those that don't want to spend $1,000 and up). 🤘🏻
Looks like this is a T-Mobile branded Pixel 4 of some kind... Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, what are the chances of this getting Android 11 and 12 in a timely manner?
Paid $460 for mine in t mobile store but im not an "authorized user" on my dad's company plan so I had to pay full price. Kinda overall sad I got it. The one unique thing this phone has is being 5g. Other than the side light up button during charging and notifications but it's so bright at charging it lights up the whole bedroom at night so I turned it off..but there's really nothing special about it. Bought my gf the Stylo 6 and at least it's unique with the built in pen and huge screen size, but it's not 5g. Its $100 cheaper too..I'd have got the Stylo 6 if it had 5g.
I bought this phone about a week ago. It's a good phone I just regret buying it. The Google search bar can't be removed l. The phone feels so cheap not "premium" the back lot power key is cute but it's unnecessary. The ram says it's 6gbs but the system uses 2 gbs just to run the phone leaving you with 4 gbs. It runs CODM easily but with high graphics settings, smooth game is not possible. The ability to add more memory with the micro SD chips so that's a plus. With this phone you can't use any typical chargers you need to invest in a high end cable. The cameras are good but the software isn't topnotch (since it's a $300 phone) screen protectors are a hassle to find. I might want to ROOT the phone in the future but for now I'll give the phone a 6.5/10 Cheers💯😎
Stylo 6 is a laggy mess thats what brought me to this video im looking for a replacement and my phones only a month old. Stylo 6 is easily the worst phone I have ever purchased.
Dude the OnePlus 8 5G is a flagship phone with top of the line specs for 2020 it's rival was the Samsung S20 from last year. This T-Mobile revval 5G is a mid-level phone it's not in the OnePlus 8 5G category.

Is this still good on 2024?? Camera and gaming??
I just brought this and have to say performance is almost indistinguishable from the performance of my previous flagship device. Battery has been good. Screen is solid. Basically everything I need.
Which flagship device did you have?
@@JuanDiaz-hu5dx a pixel 4. The pixel in more intensive task is faster, but for the basic things that I do most days, they are very close
I still got mines ..great phone!!
Just bought mine a week ago. Love it. LOVE the swipe gesture. Just like an iPhone.
Got mine yesterday. Love facial recognition and quick finger print id
Right! Thanks for watching!
Indeed! It’s insanely fast, and I especially enjoy not having to wake up my phone to unlock it. Definitely streamlines the process.
good for finger and face security
Did u port over or upgrade??

Trying to decide between this and the LG Velvet. Which one would you say is better?
I dont know if it was mentioned. But existing customers of Metro can get it for $300
no I wasn't aware of that.
I just got mine through their add a line free promotion. The only thing you pay for is the phone.
I really like the fact that it's 5G, and it has 128 GB. I still intend to add more GB to this phone. So now I have a back up phone
that's 5G. Unfortunately I had to pay $400.00 for the phone.
Can you compare this with the A51 5G
Never tried A51
I'm going to be switching back to Metro at the beginning of January. I switched to boost because I thought they were on T-Mobile's network also but Boost is on Dish network. Boost is way better but there's no truly unlimited data plan anymore so I have to have Data saver on all the time or I'll burn through 35gb in about 21 days, I have the Stylo 6 now which is decent.

Just ordered it can't wait to give it a go 👍
Does it have smart view you can share it to your TV
Since when is $400 considered expensive for a phone??? What else are you going to get outright for $400 that's new and has these specs?
I agree, I'm getting the new iPhone in 2020, but this phone was brought to my attention due to my grandma so now I have to review it to be able to inform her well about it x_x
I'd like to know how the camera's are and the display
For me the cameras are good
I just bought one a few days ago. Wow AWESOME PHONE worth it
I just bought this cell yesterday
Can this phone work on AT&T or is it just a T-Mobile exclusive?
Just bought one... questions: How to take SCREENSHOTS? ALSO, on the quick pull-down there is no SOUND OPTION [on, vibrate, off]... any suggests for a non-techie? thx
it's a little weird & i'm getting used to it off a samsung... u gotta press the volume on the right side of the phone & the options will show up
Which phone would you buy revvl 5g or samsung galaxy A21 5g? Which one is best for office work like sending invoice?
Hi, do you know if this phone has wireless charging? Heard it doesn't
How’s the 5G speed? I know it’s more of a network over phone thing, but it’d be nice if you did a speed test. Thanks for the vid! 😎
depends on if you have 5g tower nearby. I've been getting between 10Mbps and 90Mbps but lots of towers still need to be upgraded.
Upgraded from 4G, in the NC Smokies, Band 71, around 95db signal, to this. Used to get 20mbps on 4G. On the 5G revvl im getting 50mbps.
Had a galaxy 5g switched from att to tmobile and this phone. I love it and I'm a galaxy girl 🤷🏻♀️
How well does this phone compare to the Samsung Galaxy A32 5g?
thanks for the info, subbed
Thanks for watching
Tmobile is offering this and the Moto G Play for free with new prepaid service. I'm leaning towards the Revvl mostly for the 5g capability.
How would you compare it to more premium phones like Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel?
I used to have a Alcatel and it has a fake gorilla Glass and I was wondering does this phone have it as well or no or is it more like plastic like the Motorola phone
Will they unlock this phone to be used in other carriers after 6 months
Yes I believe so
@@TechRight I'm dying to leave boost mobile so I can get this phone, I'm serious.
Hi sweetie. What protection covers should I buy for this phone?
I have problems with my eyes how big is the fonts get? please let me know.
Is this 5g uw too or just 5g
Will this work on the ULTRA Network?
Just received this today to replace my OnePlus 7 Pro. T-Mobile gave it to me for free. 👍
nice score bruh. it's a pretty decent phone

I just got mine and I love it, I payed in full $400 just for the phone plus the cover, taxes and upgrade. But was worth it. I love it.
Does it allow internet use while on a phone call? Didn't see Volte as a feature.
When will my phone get update the Android 11 my T-Mobile level 5G
This is a wonderful phone bought it and do love it.
Does the revvl v support wireless charging
Just brought one. Waiting on it to get here. Will fill you in later
Is it still working fine?
I have a question regarding the rebel 5G? Is it actually disguised as a Samsung?
How do you turn on the Reverse Charging on this Revvl 5G
swipe down or settings
Would you say the camera is comparable to the pixel 4?
Tmobile Tuesdays just gave people 50% off one of these
Still 50% off Tmobile also is giving a free line as well.
But how does the phone really works?
How is call quality?
Does the screen cast work without wifi connection?
Is this as good as a 1k Samsung?
Will this pair well with a Samsung watch
what is latest android OS for this model?
I was wondering how do you think it measures against the Samsung Galaxy A5 5G.
Similar specs on paper.
Also, your sound is kind of low.
Yeah it's hella low
Is it a rebranded Motorola like the last Revvl
Can you install CPU-Z and do a video showing all the internals please!
