Worst phone I had in 18 years.
Ex. You get 4 notifications per day. Or you get 2 a day or 10 a day.
What does that mean?
Anyway when I first charged it it 172 days to full charge. It's down to 12 days now ???
Etc. It's a piece of frustrating garbage.
Do not buy it.
All those glowing reviews are B. S.

CunningStunt, 11 Jan 2022GOOD > CPU and GPU are pretty awesome BAD > Gimped b... moreI rooted mine fairly easily on the first day I bought it with my client a PC and Magisk. Furthermore for the subsidized price why complain? You obviously are not rich you're lucky to get a subsidized device that can actually unlock the bootloader and come with and wireless. I'm running android 13 crdroid to and after a bit of tweaking this phone is definitely a sleeper. But it can't help it when it has broken users.

BaniRolls, 23 Oct 2022This phone is really durable, and has lasted me 1.5 years s... moreI will tell the good and bad about my Revvl 5G. I have had very few glitches with this phone. Almost glitch free. The only glitch I have is when the charge reaches 75 to 85 percent, it starts making the same sound as when you plug in the charger, every 15 seconds, and it stops charging while doing this. It lasts for about 10 minutes and then it goes back to charging. It does this about 7 out of 10 charge cycles. No big deal. I will call it it's personality. 😎
The only other issues I have with it are that the portrait mode needs improvement, and it barely received any updates. It got a handful of security updates and went to Android 11 and that's it. That's just one Android update. The last security update was for way back at August 2022. The phone is not even 3 years old, and it stopped getting security patches at the 2 year mark. Samsung gives 5 years of security patches and 4 Android version updates for phones at this price point. Because of the poor software support, I will never trust the T-Mobile brand phones again.
Now I will discuss the good points. It has a large and fairly bright screen. It has a pretty fast, quality Snapdragon processor. The cameras are overall excellent (other than the aforementioned weak portrait mode) for a $300 to $400 phone from late 2020. The front corner, hole-punch camera placement is ideal for me, as it's out of the way-- unlike the center hole punch on most Android phones.
The Revvl 5G comes equipped with a pretty good sized 4500 MAH battery that charges fairly quickly. After nearly 3 years, I still get 6 to 7 hours of screen on time at 90 percent brightness. The system runs smoothly with the 6 gigabytes of RAM. Phone call quality and volume is above average.
In conclusion, all in all, I have more likes than dislikes. Having more updates would have made a big difference to me. I give this phone a 7/10.

Been with T Mobile for 21 years and they refused to give me a new phone . T Mobile called me 1 1/2 years ago and said I have to have the REVVL +5 G because my old phone wouldn’t work any longer in the new area I moved to. Phone has work for a year with no problems. My husband is a 100% Disabled veteran . I can’t get calls from the VA hospital anymore. My husband almost die a few weeks ago because hospital couldn’t get a call to me to take him to the nearest emergency room. They finally got a hold of my daughter and she had to run over to my house and let me know to get him to the hospital. They have tried everything to get my phone to work right but nothing is working. Only call I can’t get are the VA hospitals 45 miles from me.

This phone has dual speakers which it doesn't mention it's pretty loud and never had any issues with it. Great phone for the price!

I have many issues also with my T-moble Revvl 5 phone too bad I did not put insurance on it. I was so excited to get it for my birthday, like the pictures but for a $400 dollar phone should not have so many glitches like when I make calls sometimes just hangs up the phone right away and says call ended. At times when people call me it either hangs up or goes straight to the voice mail. Took the phone to T-Mobile and they can't seem to find the problem only to instruct me to power off and on again and one t-mobile rep. mentioned if I ever read the reviews. Sometimes my text don't go through, have to keep trying I am stopping here. This is not fair.

T... moreI've had this phone for roughly 4 months and my mom bought one the same day and they're both having the same issues!! The texting will flip from SMS to text mode it's the weirdest thing sometimes it won't send sometimes they send. I'll go to make a phone call and it'll just sit there and not ringing for like 10 seconds I have to hang up I have to do this about 3-4 times to be able to make a phone call or just reset my phone about 4 to 6 times a day!! Missing phone calls because sometimes it won't ring or it won't let me answer in time. It'll drop calls out of nowhere when we talking one time it did it when I was on the phone with my mother about six times until I restarted my phone and then it finally quits for that call! Ishouldn't have to restart a phone three to four times a day for the damn thing to work.

This phone has been a pain from day one a few weeks ago.
Today I couldn't get the alarm to turn off! Had to shut down the phone, which in itself is a pain with the side on and off button. I have constant problem texting a person, a problem I never had with my Samsung. The phone will say sent, then awhile later it'll say that person is offline and message couldn't be sent.
I've been back to the Metro store 3 times now have to go again! I will tell anyone and everyone to never buy a revvl 6 phone! If I could get a refund I'd return it in a New York minute!
