T-Mobile USA introduces the REVVL Plus – a phone
“heavy on features but light on the budget”. It definitely lives up to the
second part, though we have our doubts about the first.
Soon you’ll be able to grab the phone with an 18-month
Jump! on Demand lease for US$ 9 a month (no downpayment). If you want to keep the
device, you can pay US$ 8 up front and then $8 a month for two years. That works
out to US$ 200. Light on the budget it is.
The REVVL Plus has a 6” screen with 1080p resolution,
it’s old-school 16:9 in case you were wondering. And it has Gorilla Glass
protection with beveled edges. Pretty good for this price.The phone runs
Android 7.x Nougat squeezed into 2GB of RAM (which is on the low side). The
storage is better though, you get 32GB and a microSD slot. An unnamed octa-core
chipset runs the show.
For US$ 200 you’re also getting a dual-camera - 13MP +
5MP dual on the back. And there’s a 5MP selfie cam. The 3,380mAh battery and
fingerprint reader are also good perks too.
