Trump Phone T1: 3 Key Changes After Redesign

  • Spec Upgrade: 6.8-inch AMOLED, Snapdragon 7, 512GB
  • Price Change: $499 for initial pre-order customers, up to $999 for new customers
  • ‘Made in America’ Retracted: Overseas manufacturing + final assembly in Miami

The Trump Organization’s Smartphone Venture

Trump Mobile announced the $499 gold-colored T1 smartphone in June 2025.[CNBC] A $47.45/month plan was also unveiled, including unlimited talk, text, data, and even telemedicine.

The promised 2025 launch wasn’t met. After several delays, a redesigned version was revealed in February 2026.[Android Headlines]

Specs Increased, Promises Decreased

The new version features a 6.8-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, Snapdragon 7, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage. However, the 20W charging is underwhelming compared to the competition.

The bigger issue is the disappearance of the ‘Made in America’ promise. It’s been changed to manufacturing in ‘friendly countries’ with final assembly in Miami.[TechTimes] The price for new customers is also increasing. The goal is to ship by the end of March after T-Mobile certification.[The Verge]
