T-Mobile today unveiled a couple of new own-brand
Android-powered smartphones - the Revvl 2 and Revvl 2 Plus. The smaller model
comes with a 5.5-inch 720x1440 touchscreen, a 13 MP main camera with LED flash,
an 8 MP front-facing shooter, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
At the helm is
MediaTek's MT6739 chipset (with a 1.5 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU), paired
with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The Revvl has IP52 water and
dust resistance (so not much), facial recognition, a fingerprint reader on the
back, and support for Cat.4 LTE.
It will cost you US$ 168, or 24 monthly installments of US$ 7. For a limited time, customers who add a
line will be able to get it for free after 24 monthly bill credits. The Revvl 2
Plus steps up to a 6-inch 1080x2160 display, a 2.5 GHz octa-core processor, 3GB
of RAM, and a 12 MP + 2 MP dual rear camera setup. The front 8 MP snapper has a
LED flash too. The bigger handset has a beefy 4,000 mAh battery and Cat.6 LTE,
as well as the same 32GB of storage as its smaller sibling - and the IP52
rating too. Both phones run Android 8.1 Oreo.
The Revvl 2 Plus is
priced at Us$ 252, or 24 monthly installments of US$ 10.50. The initial limited time
deal will offer it for just $3.50 per month after bill credits to T-Mobile
customers who add a line. The T-Mobile Revvl 2 and Revvl 2 Plus will be
available from the carrier on November 16.
