Introducing the New Trump Phone
The much-anticipated Trump Phone, officially known as the T1 Phone, is set to make its debut after several delays. Recently, Trump Mobile executives provided insights regarding the device’s development and release timeline. Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, two of the company’s executives, confirmed the phone’s existence during a video call.
Key Features of the Trump Phone
The T1 Phone’s design has undergone significant changes since its initial announcement. Although it retains its signature gold finish, the original logo will be altered before its launch.
- Screen Size: 6.78 inches with a curved “waterfall” display
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series, typical for upper-midrange devices
- Battery: 5,000 mAh
- Storage: 512GB with the ability to expand to 1TB via microSD
- Camera: Dual 50-megapixel sensors for the selfie and main rear camera, with possible ultrawide and telephoto lenses
Pricing and Availability
Those who placed a $100 deposit will still pay the introductory price of $499. However, later buyers will incur a price increase, expected to remain below $1,000. The final price has yet to be confirmed due to evolving specifications.
Reasons for the Delays
The T1 Phone was originally scheduled for release in late 2025. Delays primarily stemmed from heightened interest in the device, prompting the executives to enhance its specifications. As a result, the launch is now approximately six months behind schedule.
Launch Timeline and Certification
The phone has cleared FCC certification. It is waiting for final approval from T-Mobile, which is expected by mid-March. Trump Mobile executives assure that shipping to early buyers will begin soon after.
Manufacturing Details
Although the T1 Phone will not be fully manufactured in the USA, it will undergo final assembly in Miami. The company has stated that most manufacturing occurs in a “favored nation,” which is not China. The terminology used by Trump Mobile aims to clarify the assembly process without misleading consumers about the product’s origin.
Future Endeavors
While the T1 Phone is set to launch soon, Trump Mobile is already planning for future models, including a T1 Ultra. The executives remain optimistic about moving towards better U.S.-based manufacturing practices for their next products.
The Trump Phone is indeed real, and although specifics are still being finalized, the anticipation continues to build as the projected launch approaches.
