    tl/dr: It’s a re-branded 2-year-old midrange Samsung with a shell most people describe as piss-colored, a Trump wallpaper and Truth Social preinstalled.
    And still only available to media representatives.

    Pretty much exactly what any sane person expected.

    Edit: Also, the American flag on it only has 11 stripes.

      Reminds me of a scam by the son(?) of Pablo Escobar a while back where they sold the ““Escobar”” Fold (which was obviously just a Samsung Galaxy Fold 1) for $200 or something ridiculously low like that.

      Of course it sold out within minutes but the only ones that ever received their phones were influencers.

      Edit: Actually looks like it’s an HTC

    The true test of a Trump Phone is whether or not you are a dumb enough to sign up to get one

      The ‘Suckers and Losers’ plan.

      Edit: I know it’s his idiot offsprings ‘business’ but let’s not pretend the pedophile doesn’t have his tiny tiny grimey hands in it.

    The Trump Phone has a waterfall display design that was popular on Android handsets three to five years ago.

    Security: As we previously posted, the Trump Mobile website suffered a potential data vulnerability, which might have exposed every customer who made an online account to buy this phone. It’s also unclear how long anyone can safely use the Trump phone itself: while Samsung and Google offer seven years of Android OS and security updates for their phones, Trump Mobile hasn’t said how many years of software updates the T1 will be receiving, if any.
