“Our REVVL 6 series saw major success – consistently landing in our top five best-selling affordable 5G smartphones – so we’re building on that success and expanding the line further to launch the REVVL TAB 5G,” said Omar Tazi, Executive VP & Chief Product Officer, T-Mobile. “We’re laser-focused on giving customers the best value, alongside the best network to ensure they get the best, no-compromise experience – and the new budget-friendly 5G REVVL lineup helps continue to do just that, making 5G affordable for every pocket.”

A bigger bang for every buck

T-Mobile customers who pick up a new REVVL don’t just get an affordable device on an industry leading network, they also unlock MAJOR perks — just for being part of the Un-carrier. T-Mobile customers get Netflix on Us, free in-flight Wi-Fi, free international high-speed data, T-Mobile Tuesdays and more included on Go5G Plus — which is over $270 in additional monthly value with two or more lines. Seriously. And unlike Carrier customers who are locked in three-year device contracts to get the best deals, Go5G Plus customers are upgrade-ready every two years and always get the same great device deals — whether they’re a new or existing customer.

Revved up features

  • REVVLTAB 5G sports an expansive display, long-lasting battery and dual stereo speakers. With an impressive 10.36″ FHD Display and a 7040mAh battery, the REVVL TAB 5G is perfect for bingeing shows with Netflix on Us.
  • REVVL 6x PRO 5G smartphone boasts a 6.82” HD+ display with four rear cameras including a 50MP main, a 16MP front-facing camera and a 5,000 mAh battery. Plus, with 256GB of storage, the REVVL 6x PRO 5G doubles the memory of its predecessor, making snapping endless selfies that much more fun!
  • REVVL 6x 5G strikes the ideal balance of performance and features including a 6.52” HD+ display with triple rear cameras and a 4500 mAh battery.
  • And all three devices come with Android™ 13 and include a two-year limited warranty.

The latest REVVLs were developed in collaboration with Google for an optimized software experience on T-Mobile’s network— tapping into T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G and Ultra Capacity 5G for broad and super-fast speeds across the country on the nation’s largest, fastest and most awarded 5G network. The REVVL line also played an integral role in Deutsche Telekom launching their own T Tablet and T Phones, building on the REVVL’s success to make 5G more affordable across Europe.
