A Golden Debut: The Trump T1 Phone Takes Centre Stage
The Trump Organisation, overseen by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, today announced its foray into the wireless industry with the launch of “Trump Mobile” and an exclusive, gold-coloured smartphone, the Trump T1 Phone. Customers can now pre-order the highly anticipated device, which the company proudly designed and built in the United States, with shipping expected in August or September. After all, if you’re going to make a statement, you might as well gild it.
The Trump T1 Phone, priced at an exclusive $499, aims to capture attention with its distinctive gold hue and a robust feature set. Users can look forward to a vivid 6.78-inch AMOLED display boasting a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The phone features a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP depth sensor, and a 2 MP macro lens, while a 16 MP front-facing snapper takes care of selfies.
Powering the device is a substantial 5,000 mAh battery, supporting 20W PD wired charging. The device includes modern conveniences such as a fingerprint sensor and even retains the increasingly rare 3.5mm headphone jack. The T1 Phone comes equipped with a generous 12GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage, running on the latest Android 15. Notably, information regarding the specific chipset powering the device was not provided in the announcement, leaving tech enthusiasts to ponder if its true power lies in patriotic fervour rather than raw silicon.
“The 47 Plan”: Connectivity with a Presidential Twist
Accompanying the T1 Phone is the new Trump Mobile wireless carrier, operating as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and utilising the established networks of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile across the U.S.
The cornerstone of Trump Mobile’s offering is “The 47 Plan,” an unlimited talk, text, and data package priced at USD47.45 per month. Notably, this specific price point is a nod to Donald Trump’s presidential history, having served as the 45th President and now campaigning as the potential 47th. In effect, it’s a price point that, much like certain political rallies, leaves little room for ambiguity. Furthermore, the plan distinguishes itself by offering “no contracts” and “no credit checks,” thereby aiming for broad accessibility.
Beyond the Basics: Added Perks and Support
Beyond standard connectivity, The 47 Plan includes “complete device protection” (exactly what that entails remains as mysterious as the phone’s internal chipset), 24/7 roadside assistance via Drive America, and comprehensive telehealth services covering virtual medical care, mental health support, and convenient prescription ordering and delivery. Additionally, it offers free international calling to over 100 countries. Trump Mobile also emphasises its commitment to customer support with promises of 24/7 live US-based assistance.
With a gold phone and a plan price steeped in presidential history, it seems the Trump Organisation is truly dialling into a specific demographic. Whether the T1 will make calls great again remains to be seen, but it certainly won’t be subtle.
