The Revvl 6 Pro was announced by T-Mobile in July. The phone is the latest entry in T-Mobile's Revvl lineup and gives customers an entry-level phone option. It gives customers some bells and whistles, but at a lower price.

T-Mobile's Ultra Capacity 5G speeds were brought to more users in order to allow them to experience super-fast data speeds for a price that doesn't break the bank. Some sacrifice had to be made.

It's up to you whether or not these compromises make the Revvl 6 Pro worth it. I had a good experience with the phone.

The Revvl 6 Pro was launched by T-Mobile. The retail price of the Pro model is $225. Customers can get one for free when they add a line of service

If you open a new account with T-Mobile, you can get the Revvl 6 Pro for as low as $40 if you port your number over to Metro.

It's difficult to expect much from a phone at this price point. The Revvl 6 Pro is one of the best budget phones in the world.

The phone is powered by a fairly adequate phone that has been popular among some budget devices. Although you shouldn't expect a speed demon, the Revvl 6 Pro runs well thanks to this chip. It manages multitasking with a fair amount of ease, and gaming is manageable, thanks to the 6 gig of ram.

This is aided by the stock of the operating system. It looks and feels similar to my Pixel 6 Pro, but it feels more bare bones.

Battery life is pretty good, although some phones get better battery life with the same capacity.

The large 5,000Ah battery on the Revvl 6 Pro is enough to keep the phone running for a full day. I start my day at 5 a.m., and I'm usually in bed by 10 pm, but the phone doesn't have much battery left by the end of the night.

My primary phone can only get me through half a day until it needs to be charged up again, so this is a big plus for the Revvl. I couldn't get the same two-day battery life from the Moto G 5G that I could get from the Dimensity 700. Depending on how you use your phone, your mileage might be different.

The phone supports both wired and wireless charging, which is something of a rarity at this price point.

I wondered why wireless charging hadn't become as widespread as I had hoped. It will take some time as not enough phones support the feature on the lower end. I'm hopeful that more companies will be able to pull this off if it's included in the Revvl 6 Pro.

T-Mobile has a 5G network. The mid-band spectrum provides the best of both worlds in terms of speed and availability. It's impressive that a budget phone can hit 500Mbps in random speed tests, which is comparable to flagship phones.

It screams great value to have all this in a phone. You would be correct for most of the time. It isn't all sunshine and roses and there are some things that I don't like.

There are many compromises for a phone at this price, and with the Revvl 6 Pro, they can often ruin the experience.

The design of the phone left a lot to be desired. The square camera stove in the back reminds me of some older Moto phones. The phone comes in a gray color that makes it seem cheap. There is an attempt to make the phone look better.

The display is large at 6.82 inches but only has an HD+ resolution. It's important to keep in mind that the display is larger than the S22 Ultra, so it's noticeable. Nothing looks good when you're consuming media or just scrolling through apps.

The Revvl 6 Pro runs a pretty barebones version of Android 12, with little in the way of extra features to customize the experience.

The Revvl 6 Pro uses a stock version of the phone's operating system, which is bare except for a T-Mobile shelf in the Discovery feed.

I've already said that I'm not much of a fan of the look and feel of the phone, and the Revvl makes it worse by stripping some of the more interesting features. Selecting a wallpaper will change the system theme colors, but there is no way to change the colors manually.

The Privacy dashboard and security section are some of the things that the Revvl has, but there's not much else. The features and gestures that users can modify are available in phones like the Pixel. You can double-tap the power button to open the camera on the Revvl 6 Pro.

The power button is limited, so you only have to use it for access to the assistant. To turn the phone off, you have to press and hold the power and volume up buttons at the same time. I find it annoying that it can't be changed, even though I'm not used to it.

The placement of the power button is new to me. It takes me longer to get my phone unlocked than it should be because my finders can't find the button without turning the phone.

The Revvl 6 Pro's camera system now has a 50MP primary sensor. You would think that would give the phone a chance in the camera department. These cameras are plain.

The camera can't do much in the right lighting conditions. There is a lack of detail shown in the images. If the lens is obscured by a smudge, the images are blurry. The ultrawide and macro lens are just as disappointing.

The Revvl 6 Pro has a tendency to oversharpen pictures. Sometimes the Revvl gets a few points for dynamic range but it can be hit or miss.

I find it funny that T-Mobile decided to engrave "CameraPixel" on the camera stove as if that really means something.

If you're willing to spend a bit more, I recommend the Moto G 5G. It's a good phone that has a great two-day battery life and a slightly better design. It has some of the goodies from Motorola to enhance the experience even more. You won't be able to get an ultrawide sensor, wireless charging, or near field communication.

T-Mobile has a great 5G phone called theNord N200. It's the same price as the Revvl 6 Pro, but with a higher resolution display, a faster charging port, and a more powerful processor. Lower resolution cameras, less internal storage, and less RAM are offered.

The A13 is an option as well. It has a 50MP rear sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and a 6.5-inch HD+ display, making it more dense than the Revvl 6 Pro. The price is still more than the Revvl because it has a less powerful Chipset and less RAM.

T-Mobile Revvl 6 Pro: Should you buy it?

If you do, you should purchase this.

  • You're looking for an affordable 5G phone
  • You prefer a "stock" Android experience
  • You want a phone with wireless charging
  • You're looking to switch to T-Mobile or add a line

If you buy this, you should not.

  • You want a good camera experience
  • You need a sharp display
  • You're not a fan of "stock" Android

The T-Mobile Revvl 6 Pro is a budget phone that has a lot of compromises to make. The phone has some surprising features that make it stand out.

It has a boring design, but it has a good battery life. The camera isn't the best, but the phone does a good job for most people. You get a lot of storage, and there's even wireless charging, something you don't usually see at this price.

T-Mobile found a balance with the Revvl 6 Pro that made it a value phone. The main appeal of this device is that it's for users who just want a modern, affordable 5G phone. I would recommend this to a person who just needs a phone that will get them through the day.

This is how you get people to come in.
