Miss the microSD slot on your phone? T-Mobile's latest phone might be for you.
TL;DR T-Mobile has launched the Revvl 8 smartphone, the latest model in the brand's Revvl portfolio. The new phone stands out from the previous model thanks to an upgraded chip, improved camera hardware, and faster charging. Expect to pay $199.99 when the phone goes on sale tomorrow (August 14). T-Mobile has offered its Revvl phones for a while now, and these are decent if unspectacular budget Android phones. Now, the carrier has announced the Revvl 8. So, what does it bring to the table? The Revvl 8 doesn't look like the most modern smartphone, largely due to a dated waterdrop notch and a substantial chin on the front. At least we've got two clean camera cutouts in the rear cover instead of a separate rear camera housing. There's no word on protective glass for the screen, though.

Diving under the hood, the Revvl 8 packs a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. This processor is a mild upgrade over the Revvl 7's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, and it's also seen in the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G and Moto G Stylus 5G 2025. It won't run demanding games very well, but it should get the job done just fine for everyday tasks and light games. However, I am glad to see that the phone continues the Revvl trend of offering microSD expansion (up to 2TB). That's great news if you have a huge library of captured photos/videos, a trove of audiovisual media, or if you just want peace of mind. How important is microSD storage to you on your phone? 0 votes I won't buy a phone without microSD support NaN % It's one of several key considerations NaN % It's nice to have but not a must NaN % I don't care about this feature NaN % In terms of photography, the T-Mobile Revvl 8 offers a 50MP main camera and a 2MP macro lens. The primary camera also has optical image stabilization, which was missing from the Revvl 7's 50MP shooter. This should result in brighter low-light shots with less blur and reduced shakiness when recording video. The phone also packs a 13MP selfie camera, which is a welcome upgrade on paper from the previous model's 8MP snapper. Other notable features include a 6.58-inch IPS LCD panel (FHD+), a 5,000mAh battery, 25W wired charging (up from 15W), a side fingerprint scanner, and Android 15 with the promise of five years of security updates. There's no word on an OS update pledge, though. It's also unclear whether the phone offers a 3.5mm jack like the older handset. In any event, the T-Mobile Revvl 8 goes on sale tomorrow (August 14) for $199.99. That's a decent deal if you need a no-frills Android phone at a low price. However, T-Mobile has stiff competition with devices like the $200 Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. Samsung's phone loses out in the horsepower stakes but offers extras like an IP54 rating and a 90Hz OLED screen. Follow

T-Mobile launches its Revvl 8 smartphone, packing for free features you rarely see under $200
T-Mobile has introduced the Revvl 8, the newest phone in its budget-friendly lineup. It will be available starting August 14 exclusively from T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile , and will be priced at either $199.99 or free with certain offers. If you don't happen to be familiar with the Revvl series, let's just say that it is T-Mobile 's in-house phone brand. Those stories you've heard of customers walking into a T-Mobile store with a free phone? It could very well be one of these, as they are designed to give customers affordable smartphones that still deliver certain specifications. Now, the Revvl 8 joins the Revvl Tab 2 in offering devices built to work well with T-Mobile 's network and features. The Revvl 8 has a 6.58-inch IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2408) and runs Android 15 out of the box. It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It also has expandable with microSD up to 2TB and includes Gemini AI for on-device assistance. The main camera is 50MP with optical image stabilization, paired with a 2MP macro lens. It supports up to 2K video at 30fps and 1080p at up to 60fps. The front camera is 13MP and can record 1080p video. Battery life comes from a 5000mAh unit with 25W fast charging, rated for up to 37 hours of talk time. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and satellite compatibility. The phone also has face unlock, a fingerprint sensor, and nano SIM support. Full specs of the Revvl 8. | Image credit — T-Mobile At T-Mobile , customers can get the Revvl 8 free when adding a line on most plans or when trading in any device on select plans. Metro by T-Mobile is offering it free to new customers switching to plans starting at $40 per month. Both carriers include a five-year price guarantee for talk, text, and data. In the sub-$200 5G market, the Revvl 8 competes with phones like the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G and Motorola Moto G 5G (2024). These alternatives may have more polished designs or OLED displays, but the Revvl 8's strengths are its network integration, long-term security updates, and carrier perks. The Revvl 8 offers strong value, especially through carrier promotions. Still, the IPS LCD may feel dated compared to OLED panels on some competitors, and the 2MP macro camera adds little practical use. However, I believe that for those looking for a capable 5G phone tied to a plan with solid perks, this is a good option to consider.
