The T1 Phone from Trump Mobile is still happening but specs and design have changed | Infinium-tech

Ever since Trump Mobile announced the T1 phone, many of us have been wondering if this was going to happen. The T1 phone is still shrouded in mystery, and continues to be delayed. However, The Verge I managed to talk to two company executives – Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, who gave some additional details about the future device.

First of all, the T1 phone is not dead. It’s just that Trump Mobile is going through some hiccups, and as a result, the release of the handset is constantly being delayed.

This is due to some last minute changes in design and hardware. The updated chassis features a more prominent camera island with three vertically stacked camera sensors, but officials said the T1 logo is going away. The gold paint job and the American flag are here to stay. Furthermore, the official website now states without giving any details that the handset is only assembled in the US, but the components are manufactured elsewhere. We wouldn’t be surprised if most of the hardware is sourced from China.

Additionally, the chipset on board will be from the mid-range Snapdragon 7 series along with 512GB of expandable storage, with support for microSD cards up to 1TB. The 5,000 mAh battery will provide all the fun.

Camera hardware on the rear will include a 50MP main sensor, joined by a dedicated zoom shooter and an ultrawide camera. The front-facing camera will also be 50MP.

Pricing is still unclear, but officials said it will cost between $500 and $1,000 — certainly above the promised $499 price tag. However, customers who have deposited $100 will have to pay a total of $499.

Even though Trump Mobile claims the handset will feel and perform like a flagship phone, asking for more than $1,000 seems like a bit of a stretch, given that the smartphone market is moving fast, and a mid-range SoC with a basic camera setup and a 5,000 mAh battery won’t cut it in 2026.
