Trump T1 Phone is being created in the Ultra version. The first one still doesn’t exist
A phone branded by Donald Trump – Trump Mobile T1 Phone – was supposed to debut in August last year. So far, none of the customers have received their copy, but this does not prevent Trump Mobile from declaring success and planning expansion.
According to available information, approx 590 thousand fans the current US president paid $100 deposit each to book a T1 Phone. The company is managed by, among others: by the sons of the former US president accumulated in this way $59 million in revenue.
The money is real, but the equipment is not. Conflicting renderings are circulating on the Internet. Early artwork showed a gold phone with a back resembling iPhone Proalthough everything indicated that it was one of the Chinese projects imitating Apple equipment. The newer version looked like this Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a gold Spigen case. This raises questions about whether the Trump Mobile T1 Phone even exists or is still in the planning stages.
American congressmen are becoming interested in the matter and are asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate whether there has been fraud. Journalists from NBC News and The Verge tried to contact Trump Mobile, but after initial promises to talk, contact with the company’s representatives was interrupted.
The only working element of the business is MVNO offer. Trump Mobile offers an unlimited plan for $47.45 per month (using T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T infrastructure) along with a roadside assistance package. Analysts say that with its current subscriber base, the company could be profitable even without releasing the phone.
It’s a success, so it’s time for the Ultra version
Although the basic model is still a ghost device, Trump Mobile CEO Don Hendrickson announced the next step. He is Trump T1 Ultrawhich is expected to build on the success of the original. It is difficult to say whether the fundraising is considered a success or the mere fact of media hype, because there is no physical product.
What do we know about the technical specifications of the regular T1? This one is also evolving. The screen was initially supposed to be 6.78 inches, now it is said to be 6.78 inches 6.25-inch AMOLED display 120Hz. Although the name of the SoC used has not been officially announced, leaks suggest it Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. This is a solid, but typically average SoC made in 4 nm lithography. Its operation is to be supported by 12 GB RAM and 256 GB of data memory with a microSD expansion option. The whole thing seems to be mid-range, but… the price of a premium product.
