The iPhone 17 may have to share space with an unexpected start when it is inevitably launched in September: the Trump Mobile T1 telephone. And instead of rosé gold, the T1 will of course arrive in a pure gold -colored finish.
Yes, the Trump Mobile T1 telephone is official. The device was launched todayIn addition to the Trump Mobile Carrier service and we have a million questions.
Like? Why do we need a new courier in the US and do we offer $ 47.45 a month unlimited service? There are already affordable plans from Verizon, Mint Mobile and others already.
But again, maybe you want this Android telephone, which is a curiosity of a device, combining aging and new technology in a $ 499 package that does not seem to break new land about existing flagships.
Here are all peculiarities (marketed as the benefits) of this very Trumpian telephone.
It has a gate from the past
Even as most modern smartphones, Android and iPhone, have thrown away the 3.5 mm headphone connection, the 6.7-inch T1 brings it back to a 5G telephone. Not a word about if the phone is also sent with a set of wired earplugs.
It can be upgraded
256 GB storage to start is not bad, but I am shocked to see that the T1 Will also be sent with a memory card slot to upgrade. That is unusual and somewhat old-school. It may mean that the back of the back appears, and then that large battery can stand out. It can also just be a memory card slot on the chassis.
If that is the case, tell me more about your IP assessment. Can this phone process a dunk in a golden toilet?
It has a mysteria processor
Although we have some details about the T1, such as its 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, there is no information about the mobile processor. From now on, few new mobile processors are made in the US, but there is a chance that the T1 will find its brain from TSMC’s Arizona FAB. According to reports, the company has already been Some A16 -chips Build for Apple.
Yet it seems to be at his best $ 100 to secure a pre -order on a phone that makes a mystery of performance.
It only has Android 15
There is nothing wrong with it Android 15. I am currently doing it on my excellent Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, by September we would expect that many top telephones will run Android 16 instead of.
Google Pixels now indeed have access to Android 16, and we would expect Samsung Devices to gain access in the following month or two. Other phones, including those of OnePlus and Oppo, can now get the Android 16 -Bèta.
If Trump wants to play Mobile in this game, this cannot just arrive with last year’s platform. People love their smartphones that live on the bleeding edge.
It doesn’t have (much) AI
In the era of AI everything, the release of a new smartphone or really a consumer electronics who has no AI in the center, Toon-Deaf Tech Marketing.
The T1 specification list mentions Ai Face Unlock – I have no idea what that is – and that’s it.
Of course, without knowing the core processor, it is difficult to know what the neural processing unit (NPU) could be if it exists. Can you imagine a new smartphone that comes in this market without generative possibilities?
Seriously, being ‘gold’ is not a function.
It has a macro camera with low resolution
The T1 seems to offer a solid main camera (50MP) and a beautifully assigned selfie camera (16MP). But I am confused by the 2MP macro. That is something that OnePlus tried long ago, and it results in close-up but incredibly low resolution and muddy macro photography. It is almost not worth it.
And not explained is the recording of a 2MP depth camera. Is that for augmented reality (AR)? Probably not, because the resolution is too low to produce a decent 3D card. Perhaps it is Focus-Assist technology. If so, to say that better.
It has a large battery
A $ 499 smartphone with a battery of 5000 mAh is something of a deviation and should be good news, assuming that it is of high quality and is not susceptible to rapid drain or problems that can cause swelling.
The point is that a $ 499 phone may have cheaper components, but a large battery is a place that you cannot afford to skimp.
I am also intrigued that the 20W “PD” (Power Delivery) is quickly charging. This is a plus if the phone is also supplied with a 20W loading adapter.
It has an uncertain design
You cannot watch the T1 telephone without notice the camera -array and the strange distance between lenses. First of all, why are there three lenses of the same lenses when two of them are only 2MP? Second, why are they so far apart?
It doesn’t look good and wonder if the T1 image is just a temporary indication when they complete the design.
Speaking of design, Trump Mobile gives up the T1 as a 6.8-inch phone with a 6.78-inch amoled display, but the handset looks very long and thin, as if it has a strange 21: 10 image ratio.
No dimensions are mentioned (I bet they just don’t know yet), which means that you have to take the design with a huge spoon of gold salt.
It will be born in the US … maybe
Trump Mobile claims that the T1 was ‘made in the US’, but I think this is more an ambition than a reality.
Let’s assume that the phone is assembled here in the US. It is a big assumption, but I am willing to consider it. Most components still come from outside the US. Even if the CPU is finally manufactured in Arizona, mobile radio tips, GPS, Amoled screen technology, cameras and more all from outside the country will come.
I am interested in seeing how much transparency we get on that front when and when this phone arrives in September.
It’s a Trump -Family -Ding
It is a Trump Mobile T1 8002 phone, but nobody calls President Donald Trump.
Instead, the company was announced A YouTube video Through his sons Don Jr. And Eric, who both have a lot of the Trump companies, including a crypto company.
So it is a Trump telephone, but not officially a President Trump device, but with all the essence of the current US president.
