US EditionThe Trump Phone Looks Like This. No, Wait, It Looks Like This
Trump Mobile faces legal threats after using images of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with a Spigen case, raising concerns over misleading marketing for the T1 Phone, priced at $499.
- On August 20, Trump Mobile unveiled the T1 Phone via a promotional post on X, pushing preorders with a new 'gold finish' image and claiming 'the wait is almost over.'
- The T1 Phone was announced in June as a $499 device originally marketed as "made in the USA," but Trump Mobile later softened domestic-production claims and pushed the launch to later this year.
- Eagle-Eyed users noticed the T1 image closely resembles a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen gold case, with the Spigen logo visible under the American flag, suggesting crude editing.
- Public reaction has been mixed with mounting skepticism about the T1's existence; preorder customers pay a $100 deposit refundable before shipment, while experts warn of possible lawsuits and FTC scrutiny for Trump Mobile.
- Industry analysts warn reliance on altered visuals risks undermining Trump Mobile's brand, with the release schedule uncertain from next month to later this year; Reuters reported Donald Trump Jr. leads the licensing deal.
