Trump's smartphone exists—journalists have been handed the first T1 Phone for testing

Trump Mobile – the first samples of the T1 Phone have reached media

The Trump Mobile brand began distributing test versions of the T1 Phone to some journalists for review preparation. Earlier, the project was met with skepticism due to frequent delays, constant design changes, and doubts that the device would ever be released for sale.

First reviews
- NBC News received one of the first samples and published a short video review.
- The appearance of the final version is radically different from early prototypes that resembled the iPhone 16 Pro or Galaxy S25 Ultra.
*Android Authority* notes that the device now looks like a renamed version of the HTC U24 Pro 2024 with minor tweaks to the rear LED flash.

Design and packaging
- The body is gold; the back panel features the U.S. flag, but instead of the usual 13 stripes it has 11.
- The packaging text was changed: from “Made in USA” to “Proudly assembled in USA.”

Journalist inquiries and official responses
- NBC News journalists sent a request to Trump Mobile asking for an explanation of the flag change and clarification on the share of American components. No response was received.
- The White House declined to comment on whether President Donald Trump personally uses the new phone.

Thus, the T1 Phone has already received its first reviews, but questions about its design and component composition remain open.
