    But it’s golden and has a convicted felon’s name on it. That should make up for the rest of the value right?

      He saw the Escobar phone and thought it was a good plan.

        There’s a disposable vape with that name.

      Well, of course! How else would it sell in this day and age?

      Only if the value goes so far below zero that you get an integer overflow.

    cosmetically tweaked

    It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.

    My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.

    I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges): Image This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.

      Yes, I wouldn’t assume the picture has anything to do with any phone people will actually receive.

    The Revvl is the cheapest phone T-Mobile offers last time I was in need of a replacement; they basically give it away free if you do 2 year contracts instead of normal month-to-month, contactless services.

    The first thing that stood out to me is that the T from the phone logo in the thumbnail looks suspiciously similar to the T from T-Mobile. Like, almost identical to my untrained eye.

      Not quite, but relatively close.

    You can even buy a refurb for about $80, which is hilarious lol

    And they’ll ironically lose the lawsuit about the lies and deception of this, the defense of which will be funded by donations from the idiots that buy this phone and receive messages every hour asking for more money for the legal defense fund.
