If you live in North America and want to grab an affordable 5G smartphone, then the OnePlus Nord N200 5G is a great choice. However, it is not the only option as T-Mobile has announced its own affordable 5G smartphone that costs even less than the Nord N200 5G. The REVVL V+ 5G is not only cheaper but more stylish.
The phone has a flat frame and a flat back much like the iPhone 12 series. While T-Mobile calls the color Nebula Black, it still has a bit of the operator’s signature color. For example, the power button is colored and there is a vertical streak of magenta on the back that adds a bit of style to the phone’s appearance.
The REVVL V+ 5G has a 6.82-inch LCD display, making it much bigger than the OnePlus Nord N200 which has a 6.49-inch display. Sadly, T-Mobile’s phone settles for an HD+ panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. The screen also has a waterdrop notch.
Powering the phone is MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 processor and it is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. There are three cameras on the back of the phone – a 16MP main sensor, a 5MP sensor, and a 2MP sensor. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor.
The REVVL V+ 5G has face unlock and a fingerprint scanner buried under the magenta colored power button. Under the flat back panel is a 5000mAh battery and just the like Nord N200, it too supports 18W fast charging. A power brick and USB-A to USB-C cable is included in the box. The phone ships with Android 11.
Interested buyers will be able to get the REVVL V+ 5G starting July 12 at Metro stores and from T-Mobile (physical stores and online) starting July 23 for $200. It will be exclusive to the two networks. T-Mobile is also running a competition and selected winners will get a free REVVL V+ 5G phone.
