On June 16, 2025, the Trump Organization introduced Trump Mobile, a virtual network operator (MVNO) that includes a smartphone called the T1 Phone, in gold color, at a cost of $499, targeted at what they promote as “real Americans.”
This launch coincides with the 10th anniversary of Donald Trump’s 2015 presidential campaign ad, reinforcing the MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) brand image.
Made in USA” approach (manufactured in the USA)
Trump Jr. and Eric Trump stated that the T1 will be made entirely in the U.S., in contrast to the competition that produces mostly in Asia .
However, telecom analysts such as Paolo Pescatore have expressed skepticism, pointing out that key components – chips, cameras, batteries – still depend on global supplier networks, and that assembling a competitive handset in the U.S. is extremely complex. .
T1 Phone features
According to the data sheet shared by media outlets such as The Verge and PCMag, the T1 Phone will have:
6.78″ AMOLED display with 120 Hz
12 GB RAM and 256 GB expandable
5,000 mAh battery with quick charge
Micro-SD slot and 3.5 mm audio connector
Android 15 operating system
Cameras: 50 MP main camera, 2 MP secondary sensors
However, there are technical gaps: no processor or actual performance has been detailed, and some believe it could be a customized version of phones already manufactured overseas.
The “47 Plan” plan: patriotism at a fixed price
Trump Mobile will offer a single monthly plan for $47.45 with unlimited calling, messaging and data (the first 20 GB at high speed); it also includes 24/7 roadside assistance and telemedicine.
The pricing references Trump’s 45th and 47th mandates, and the service is expected to use the network infrastructure of T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, operating as an MVNO under Liberty Mobile.
Technology experts comment that it is “highly unlikely” to manufacture a modern smartphone in the U.S. for less than $500 due to high production costs .
In addition, the absence of information on the manufacturer and nature of the hardware, plus potential legal conflicts of interest, have raised concerns.
Trump Mobile va a cambiar las reglas del juego, nos basamos en el movimiento para poner a Estados Unidos en primer lugar, y ofreceremos los más altos niveles de calidad y servicio
What does Trump Mobile mean for the Hispanic community?
Buzzy
Technology alternative: although familiar to Android users, the T1 could appeal to those looking for an option with patriotic marketing.
Symbolic value: the “made in USA” promise and the “47 Plan” appeal to the nationalist pride of conservative sectors.
Trust issue: U.S. Hispanics, accustomed to brands such as T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon, may remain skeptical about the quality and real value of the new product.
