00:00This is the Trump Mobile T1 phone.
00:02After multiple delays, we finally brought the $499 device to New York's Trump Tower.
00:09Unsurprisingly, its gold finish closely matches the building,
00:13and while it runs Android 15 with Google Apps, True Social is preloaded by default.
00:19Operating on Liberty Mobile Wireless, a Florida carrier using T-Mobile's network,
00:24the hardware features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 512GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, and a triple camera system.
00:34Despite Made in America branding, it appears to be a rebranded overseas-manufactured HTC phone from two years ago.
00:42We can't recommend this device, even to the president's biggest fans.
00:46It is outclassed by the Pixel 10a, iPhone 17e, and Galaxy A37, which offer far superior software and support.
00:55Security is another major red flag.
00:58Trump Mobile has already suffered data breaches and remains vague about the phone's internal components.
01:04Ultimately, the fact that neither President Trump nor his inner circle uses the T1 says it all.
01:09It's a novelty item, not a serious smartphone.
01:12The company is currently taking $100 deposits, though widespread shipping dates and actual demand remain unclear.
