24 May
Summary
- The Trump Phone, announced last June, is now available to select reviewers.
- It features a gold finish, an American flag logo, and a headphone jack.
- Performance is comparable to Android phones from 2020-2022.
The Trump Mobile T1, or Trump Phone, has finally begun shipping to consumers, with tech journalists receiving their devices recently after months of waiting. Announced last June, the device was initially advertised as a gold "Made In America" Android phone for $500. However, questions arose about its manufacturing origin and release timeline, with some concerned it might be a scam.
Contrary to some doubts, the golden smartphone is real, featuring an etched American flag logo and "assembled in the USA" marking, though its exact manufacturing origin remains unclear. It comes in a sleek box with a wall plug, USB-C cord, and SIM tool. The device boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, a 50-megapixel front camera, and a 5,000-mAh battery.
Interestingly, the Trump Phone includes a headphone jack, a feature many consumers have missed. Initial performance benchmarks suggest its an 8-core processor, possibly a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, performing comparably to Android phones from 2020-2022, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 2. The Truth Social app is preinstalled on every device.
