Alcatel Revvl (Unlocked, Brand New)

Product Description

The Alcatel Revvl is another powerful budget phone that dates back to 2017. Even today, it’s an excellent temporary phone. It can even be your primary device if you don’t need an expensive smartphone.

Alcatel Revvl Noteworthy Features

While Alcatel makes the Revvl, it sports T-Mobile branding at the back. Nevertheless, it’s compatible with many other GSM networks like AT&T SIM cards. However, CDMA networks like Sprint, Verizon, and Boost SIM cards won’t work.

There’s a Mediatek MT6738 chip built into the phone. Back in 2017, it was considered a higher-end component. However, it’s still decent today to take care of your primary phone needs. The CPU is a Quad-Core Cortex-A53 that runs at 1.5GHz, which lets the phone handle more tasks at once.

The screen is a 5.5-inch display that has a resolution of 720p HD. That’s quite large for a budget phone.

There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack on the Revvl. Today, most phones discard this particular feature, so you might find older phones like this tempting, especially if you enjoy using wired earphones instead of Bluetooth ones.

Alcatel Revvl Specs

The Alcatel/T-Mobile Revvl has dimensions of 5.98″ x 3.03″ x 0.33″. Compared to many smartphones of its time, it’s not too different in size. It’s still a rather compact device, regardless.

Any GSM phone carrier’s SIM cards will function as intended. The phone works with these signal bands:
GSM 2G/3G/4G: 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700) 66(1700/100) and LTE: 2, 4, 5, 12, 66. It’s still prudent to call a carrier and ask about compatibility before committing.

You get 32GB of internal memory from the start. However, you can also expand it with a microSD card up to 128GB to hold more apps and other crucial files.

The primary camera has 13MP, while the selfie camera is rated at 5MP. The former can take videos up to 1080p30FPS and has autofocus capabilities.

The Revvl has a Li-Ion 3,000mAh non-removable battery. You can talk for up to 12 hours, especially with 3G talking, with a total standby time of 288 hours at most.

Bluetooth is supported by this phone up to version 4.2.

Fingerprint Sensor

No one has the same fingerprints, not even identical twins. Therefore, if you set up the Alcatel Revvl’s sensor to detect yours, only your finger can unlock the phone.

Compared to entering passwords, this security solution is both quicker and safer.
