Trump has launched a mobile phone, and the product has the same name as Luo Yonghao's.

Trump has launched a mobile phone! Its name is T1 Phone. It's not Luo Yonghao's Smartisan T1, but Trump's T1.

According to ZDXX on June 17th, just now, the Trump Organization in the United States officially announced a "bomb - shell" news: its subsidiary, Trump Mobile, is entering the mobile phone market and plans to release a mobile phone named T1 Phone. Moreover, it will also offer a supporting 5G network package service called T1 Mobile.

The mobile phone is expected to be officially released in August, and pre - sales have already started. The price is $499 (approximately RMB 3,583). In contrast, the official starting price of the Apple iPhone 16 in North America is $799.

The 5G network package was officially launched today. The main - promoted package is named "The 47 Plan". It only costs $47.45 per month (approximately RMB 340), offering unlimited calls, texts, and data, and also supporting free international calls to more than 100 countries.

According to the official appearance pictures, the T1 Phone will have a gold version. The triple - camera arrangement on the back is very similar to that of the iPhone, and the back is printed with "T1" and the American flag. To be honest, this design with the gold - brushed back panel really gives a feeling of "8848".

The official news mentioned that the T1 Phone is engineered for performance and is "proudly" designed and manufactured in the United States.

However, well - known overseas analyst Max Weinbach revealed that this mobile phone may be manufactured by Wingtech Technology's factory. Currently, Wingtech's ODM business has been acquired by Luxshare Precision, including factories in Jiaxing, Wuxi, and Kunming.

Of course, even if the T1 Phone is indeed designed and assembled in the United States as the official said, its components must have parts from the Chinese supply chain.

In terms of configuration, the official website also revealed some parameter information: a 6.8 - inch AMOLED punch - hole screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50 - megapixel main camera, a 5000mAh battery, fingerprint recognition, and AI face unlock.

In terms of storage specifications, it is equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of flash memory, and supports expandable memory cards. In terms of interfaces, it supports the Type - C interface and the extremely rare 3.5mm headphone jack in the current market. The mobile operating system is Android 15.

Judging from the hardware configuration, Trump's first mobile phone has no highlights. It almost uses mature solutions from the supply chain.

According to official news, the 5G network service is launched personally by Trump's eldest son (Donald Trump Jr.) and second son (Eric Trump). Its main service target is American military personnel and their families, aiming to allow military personnel to keep in touch with their families at home while serving overseas.

Trump Mobile will provide 5G services through the three major mainstream carriers in the United States. "The 47 Plan" is its current main - promoted package product, and the package includes:

· Unlimited calls, texts, and data;

· Complete device protection;

· 7x24 road - side assistance service provided by Drive America;

· Telemedicine services, including virtual medical care, mental health support, and prescription drug ordering and delivery;

· Free international calls to more than 100 countries overseas, including many countries with US military bases;

· No contracts, no credit checks;

The official news also specifically mentioned one point: The customer service of Trump Mobile services are all real people.

This package can be activated in the form of an eSIM or a physical SIM card and supports most mainstream smartphones.

As soon as the news came out, overseas netizens sent in jokes to "congratulate".

A technology journalist from The New York Times posted on the X platform:

WWDC 2028: The UI of trumpOS is redesigned with liquid glass (made in the USA).

The founder of the US venture capital firm PracticalVC posted on the X platform:

This is a top - level scam. Previously, (Trump) also threatened other mobile phone companies with tariffs.

On one hand, Trump wields the tariff stick at mobile phone giants, and on the other hand, he sets up his own brand to promote a "Made in the USA" mobile phone. He really knows how to play his cards.

The complaints of some well - known overseas bloggers have received frequent likes from netizens:

Some netizens quickly summoned Grok to verify the authenticity after learning that Trump was launching a mobile phone, and Grok gave a clear answer: It's true.

Conclusion: Trump's mobile phone is unlikely to make a big splash

Judging from the mobile phone's configuration, price, and package positioning, Trump's T1 Phone doesn't seem to be a mobile phone for the general public. It's more like a model targeting a specific group of people. Its sales performance remains to be seen.

Based on the long - term stable market pattern of the US mobile phone market, it's extremely difficult for new brands to survive. Trump's mobile phone is likely to be a "flash in the pan". Of course, Trump's actions may mainly serve his political goals. Making a mobile phone is not the purpose but a means.
