At This Point, It’s Impossible to Know What the Trump Phone Looks Like

It's been over 2 months since Trump Mobile announced nan T1 Phone was being “Made successful nan USA” designed “with American values successful mind,” and it seems that anyone deciding to preorder it still can’t beryllium judge precisely what telephone they mightiness receive.

In posts connected X and Instagram connected Wednesday, nan Trump Mobile relationship encouraged followers to spot their preorder, promising them that “the hold is almost over.” This was joined by an image that looks thing for illustration nan 1 of nan T1 telephone that's presently connected nan Trump Mobile website. It alternatively looks alternatively suspiciously for illustration nan rear broadside of a Samsung Galaxy S25.

Not conscionable that, it really appears to beryllium nan backmost of a third-party S25 telephone lawsuit from Spigen that has been photoshopped golden and stamped pinch nan T1 logo and trademark American flag. Still visible, conscionable down nan flag, is nan Spigen institution logo.

Spigen’s societal media relationship commented nether nan station connected X pinch an apt “??? bro what” earlier penning connected its ain page that it had a “lawsuit incoming.” WIRED has reached retired to Spigen for comment.

This isn’t nan first clip questions person been raised astir what nan T1 Phone will really move retired to be. Not agelong aft it was announced successful June, nan specs of nan telephone changed connected nan Trump Mobile website, and claims that it would beryllium made successful nan USA were deleted.

Currently, nan Trump Mobile website claims nan T1 Phone will person a 6.2-inch punch-hole AMOLED surface pinch 120-Hz refresh rate, 50-MP main camera pinch a 16-MP selfie camera, and a 5,000-mAh battery. There’s besides 256 GB of soul storage, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and “AI look unlock.”

It’s priced astatine $499, which includes a $100 deposit that apparently covers shipping and handling arsenic good arsenic your first period of Trump Mobile service. This suggests buyers will beryllium required to usage Trump Mobile pinch their T1 Phone, pinch nary clear specifications earlier you authorize costs of immoderate ongoing committedness to nan service.

Users can, astatine least, hold to person nan telephone earlier activating nan work and tin petition a afloat refund “at immoderate clip anterior to nan shipment of nan phone.”

As to what nan telephone will look for illustration erstwhile (and if) that ever happens, it’s intolerable to know—and Trump Mobile seems as unsure arsenic nan remainder of us. All of which isn’t helping to curb suspicions that, correct now, nan T1 Phone—initially pegged to get successful August—probably doesn’t beryllium successful immoderate style aliases form.
