T-Mobile has revealed no fewer than three REVVL branded smartphones, including one with 5G, now set to go on sale in early September. For clarity, REVVL is T-Mobile’s self-branded smartphone series built with affordability in mind.
Dubbed the REVVL 4, REVVL 4+, and REVVL 5G, each handset comes with a large display panel. That’s over 6-inches with a water-drop notch to house the selfie camera. And each brings healthy specs to the table for their respective price bracket. That’s atop some top-level features such as face unlocking and a fingerprint scanner across the board.
Key differences include not just size, ranging from 6.2-inches to 6.53-inches, but also internal components.
The T-Mobile REVVL 5G is packed with an 0cta-core Snapdragon 765 SoC, for instance, and 6GB RAM. That’s comparable to the specs found in Samsung’s A71 5G seriess. The middle-offering, the REVVL 4+, packs the same SoC found in the Pixel 3a series. That’s the Snapdragon 665 SoC. But the most affordable of the series takess things further, offering a MediaTek A22 SoC with a quad-core configuration at 2GHz.
