Overview
- Trump Mobile said it began sending T1 units to people who preordered, with the first phones assembled in the United States.
- The gold-colored Android device costs $499 and lists a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 7 chip, a 5,000 mAh battery, and 512GB of storage.
- The rollout follows multiple postponements from an initial August 2025 target to October and then to this spring.
- The company dropped its full U.S.-made pledge and now says future models will use mostly domestic parts, a claim that has not been independently verified.
- Customers paid $100 to reserve a unit, and press reports noted fine print saying the deposit only offered a conditional chance to buy.
