The T1 Phone from Trump Mobile apparently isn’t dead yet. Although a market launch was planned for summer 2025 and pre-orders were already underway, the device has yet to appear. In the meantime, the design has been changed multiple times, and a specific release date is still missing. Now, Trump Mobile has once again adjusted both the design and technical details.
Moving Away from iPhone and Galaxy Copy
The smartphone has undergone significant visual changes once again. For the 2025 announcement, Trump Mobile released the first computer-generated images of the alleged T1 Phone. They strongly resembled an iPhone 16 Pro with the typical triangular camera–only on a gold-colored back with “T1” and a U.S. flag. Later, more images followed, but instead showed the back of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Trump Mobile has now changed the design again. According to the industry magazine “The Verge,” this time the HTC U24 Pro from 2024 might serve as a template. One element remains constant: the golden color scheme combined with a U.S. flag.
With the latest revision, Trump Mobile also provides more precise technical specifications. The T1 Phone is set to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display. This information was already known in February 2026 and has now been confirmed. The company states the internal storage will be 512 gigabytes. For unlocking, both a fingerprint sensor and AI-supported facial recognition are planned.

Camera and Battery Details
The smartphone features a triple camera on the back. This includes a 50-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with two times zoom. The setup is complemented by a front camera also with 50 megapixels.

The battery has a capacity of 5,000 milliampere-hours (mAh) and supports fast charging at 30 watts. Details about the processor remain unclear. Trump Mobile only mentions a Snapdragon 7 mobile platform. In connection with the possible link to the HTC U24 Pro, a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is suspected.
Price Set, Date Still Uncertain
The price remains unchanged: The T1 Phone is still listed with a “promotional” entry price of $499. For pre-ordering, the company requires a deposit of $100. Buyers are also supposed to receive the first month of the company’s mobile service for free once the device is activated. However, when the smartphone will be delivered remains unanswered.
