So you might notice in the video I filmed this back on Aug 9 after having the phone for a few days prior and another 6 or so days since. I wasn’t informed of the recall at the time and Metro still had it listed on their website as of yesterday. People claim it’s due to the phone app being wonky and/or excess “radiation” - can’t comment on the radiation bit but my phone hasn’t had issues…yet. I hope they fix & relist, otherwise this video is worthless if they stop selling it completely now.
@@TechDailyI agree. Its a pretty decent carrier device. Would be a shame to lose an extra option for those comparing against Samsung and Motorola. The radiation issue does sound quite dangerous though. Hope it isn't the case or too serious
T-Mobile said it was just performance issues not being up to their high quality standards. Vague but I don't think it has anything to do with radiation just performance
Magenta, LOL.. ok. if they insist? I've had T-mobile for 2 years now, and have used Moto phones for ages. But, I am due a phone upgrade, and do not plan on spending more than 200 on a phone. If I want an immersive video experience, I do that at home with a large flat screen TV and massive sound system. I'd prefer companies keep installed apps at a minimum, cuz I will gladly add what I prefer. I appreciate your candid and straight forward approach to reviewing this phone. I just wish all phone companies would hire you to review their phones; that could keep you bu$y, and give us shoppers a good tool for shopping. Thank you so much, and I shall subscribe!
man, Zizo, that used to be my go-to phone case brand years ago. Their cases are great if you want a big bulky protective case. Also they seem to only really make cases for obscure budget phones. I used them on all my really budget T-Mobile phone when I couldn't afford a flagship phone. I had mostly budget ZTE phones.
The couple of extra points on the regular aren't significant. Geekbench scores fluctuate slightly due to battery %, apps running in the background, screen brightness and other factors. If you run the test 100 times, the phones will almost always have slightly different scores. I suppose I should've run the test 2 or 3 more times to get a more consistent score
@@TechDaily I'm referring to content DRM, which allows HD playback from streaming services. As the owner of the R-V+ 5g I was disappointed to find the lack of any certification for such, limiting video to 480p. DRM Info is a good app to check for such, it'll be under "Widevine CDM". I'm mostly curious if it has changed at all.
For sure this phone is a loss leader for T-Mobile. I could see this being a great phone for my parents. They don’t like it when things change. All they need is something that can make phone calls, text messages and have plenty of space for pictures. no bloatware or anything which makes things easier for me for when things eventually go wrong and I have to help.
omg third?!?!?!!!!2!1??1?1!😱 anyway this phone is really cool! if it was stand alone and not TMobile brand it would be the best value phone you could buy
🏆 I don't know if WingTech does any of their own products or if there's a similar, cheap, barebones Android phone out there, but there definitely should be. The only comparable option is the Boost Celero which is also a WingTech device
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's an enticing option and really surprising from a carrier phone. I debate whether I want to completely customize every aspect of this phone just because I can, or if its best to use it as almost like a "burner" phone with just the phone app and nothing else lol
Yes, unfortunately I filmed this video about a week ago and up until 2 days ago, Metro was even still selling this phone on their website. The recall seems to be more of a "take back & fix and then keeping selling" rather than a "we're not selling this phone anymore" so I'm hopeful in the next few weeks this will be available to purchase again. Otherwise this was a waste of a video for a phone that won't ever be sold lol
Sorry, I tend to say “specs” when I’m referring to all the things a phone has like the screen, RAM, camera. “Specifications” as in all characteristics.
Spec is short for specifications which doesn't just mean the chipset. If you have more RAM, with different camera sensor etc that means you have different specs. Although it is worth pointing out that it's the same chipset for sure. S24 has the same chip as the s24 ultra in most regions but the phone still has better specifications
Glad that was the fix for you! I think installing some other apps & themes is really the move for this phone since the OS is so bare. The phone also has had like 3 software updates which is surprising, so I'm hopeful T-Mobile is addressing any software bugs that people have been reporting

LOL wow that's pretty serious if they seriously had their lawyer tell you that. "GET THE COLOR RIGHT OR WE'LL SUE YOU!"
Imagine threatening to take you to court because you didn't call it the right colour.😅
that's hilarious🤣
Any thoughts on the recall? Seems they stopped selling the pro and are recalling them due to undisclosed issues

still available in european markets

Love an accented power button. Especially when they double as a fingerprint sensor
It's honestly a really nice touch. I just wish the phone wasn't blue lol
Hey tech daily my name is bum bum. I enjoy your content I just picked up the revvl 7. N i enjoy it. Tanks 👍
Hi! Is this phone water resistant or doI have buy something...
I used the revvl 5g v+ back last year for 5 months. it was ok at first but it sucked after 5 months of use.
Hi Question, with this phone can I lock my text messages?
man, Zizo, that used to be my go-to phone case brand years ago. Their cases are great if you want a big bulky protective case. Also they seem to only really make cases for obscure budget phones.

Hey can do a new video on which iphone to buy pls❤
7:37 Remember that the previous Revvls had 720p LCDs so it's a huge upgrade.
Have the Revvl 6x and it's noticeable when I play monster hunter now, how low res it is 🥲
But text and social media is just fine
I have a T-Mobile REVVL 7 5G
Meh
8:09 why’s the regular better?🤔

@@TechDaily my phone fluctuates too
Looks like a temu OnePlus 10 pro
Can anyone confirm if the phone has proper Widevine/DRM support?
Can you expand on that? I'm assuming you use something beyond like a Brave browser + Widedivine enabled yeah?

Who makes the REVVL? They look like Motorola Moto G phones; are they rebranded Moto G Series phones ?
Wingtech
@2:24, if you decide to switch carriers, carriers incentivize switching by paying off your existing contract.
That’s true - I guess there’s a way out if this phone sucks for you lol
@@TechDailyare you homosexual
Are you ret@rded? @@abaialsa712
How many phones release in a month you must be tired from making so many of these videos 😂
lol I’m a little behind unfortunately
Nice video Nice phone
Great video as always! I almost want this phone just for the pure, bloat-free AOSP ROM.

Metro doesn't have contracts
T mobile makes phones?
Well, sort of… Another company manufactures them, and T-Mobile sells these devices under their brand.

In my opinion I'd say the regular revvl 7 looks better design wise.lol
lol that’s fair - I kind of like the silver of the regular REVVL anyway

Wow 256gb of storage for a $250 dollar phone is a great deal. I'm still getting the pixel 9 or pixel 9 pro, though, haha.
Makes getting 128GB on the S24 kind of a scam lol
Trystan Harbor
I get a vibe that you're upset that it's so good for its price point. 😂
I’m glad! We need good cheap phones that aren’t just a Samsung A series lol
Look, its a fake Oneplus 10t!

I just had to download the HD Camera app because the original camera has some glitches. But my Revvl 7 Pro 5G works 💯
Glad that was the fix for you! I think installing some other apps & themes is really the move for this phone since the OS is so bare. The phone also has had like 3 software updates which is surprising, so I'm hopeful T-Mobile is addressing any software bugs that people have been reporting
