Trump Mobile Shows T1 Prototype With Upgraded Specs, Sets $499 Intro Price for Depositors

The device will undergo final assembly in Miami rather than full U.S. manufacture.

Overview

  • Trump Mobile executives displayed a non‑final T1 unit over video and said the current design departs from earlier teasers, including a larger curved display, a dropped T1 logo, and a new vertical camera stack.
  • Reported specifications now include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7‑series chipset, roughly a 6.8‑inch display, a 5,000mAh battery, 512GB of storage with microSD expansion, and 50‑megapixel sensors for the selfie and main rear cameras.
  • Executives said customers who placed $100 deposits will pay a $499 introductory price, while later buyers will face a higher price described as less than $1,000.
  • The company says the phone has cleared FCC review and is awaiting T‑Mobile certification expected around mid‑March, with shipments to early buyers characterized as possible in the spring.
  • Leaders confirmed the handset is not U.S.‑made, describing final assembly in Miami and earlier website claims about U.S. manufacturing being withdrawn.
