The tariffs imposed by President Trump are an effort to force foreign companies to produce hardware back into the United States. Trump promised to impose a 25% tariff on iPhones and Android devices imported into the country a few months ago. Late yesterday, the telecommunications company Trump Mobile was launched by offering the Trump T1 Phone as a completely made-in-America smartphone specifically for patriots.
The device is equipped with a 6.8″ AMOLED screen, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 5000 mAh battery that supports 20W wired charging. This is matched with a 50+2+2 MP main camera and a 16MP selfie camera. The operating system used is Android 15.
It is not known what processor is used and how long the device will be supported. It is also only offered in gold and has a US flag design on the back panel. Each Trump T1 Phone is sold for $ 499 (~ RM 2116) each.
Although marketed as a smartphone made in the United States, it resembles some cheap OEM devices from China. In addition to selling phones, Trump Mobile also offers a cellular plan for $47.45 per month. If you are a die-hard Trump supporter, this is the device that is most compatible with your soul.
Is the launch of this political-themed phone a new phenomenon in the United States, but in Malaysia, UMNO-themed devices have been offered since 2015.
