Trump Mobile, a mobile operator owned by the sons of the US president Donald Trump, has once again stirred up attention around its controversial "golden smartphone" T1 PhoneThe company now claims that the phone isoneIt is almost ready and the first customers will start receiving it this week. ProThe project has been plagued by delays, uncertainties and growing doubts over whether the device will ever reach customers. According to Trump Mobile's social media posts, people who have purchased the T1 Phone pre-ordered, will receive an update email and the distribution of the phones is said to begin immediately. The company also claims that almost 600 thousand customers have pre-ordered the device. The company has collected about $59 million, or approximately 1,2 billion crowns, in deposits alone.
But the huge interest has started to raise questions. T1 Phone was originally presented as an ambitious American smartphoneone with a luxurious gold design and distinctive symbolism of the United States. The company promised to launch sales at the end of last summer. However, the date was subsequently postponed several times, first to November, then to December and thenonec to mid-March of this year. Then in April, Trump Mobile completely removed the release date from its website, which only fueled speculation that the project may be in serious trouble.
Customers paid a $100 deposit to pre-order. Critics began to point out that the company was holding tens of millions of dollars from people who were still unsure when or if they would receive the phone. The latest statement from the company's customer support did not calm the situation much. Although it confirms that the phones are "arriving soon," it cannot say a specific delivery date. Trump Mobile now claims that the devices will be shipped in the order of orders received. However, it is not clear how many units are actually ready for shipment or who physically manufactures the phone. The lack of details about production and technical parameters was one of the main reasons why part of the technology community described the project from the beginning as a marketing ploy rather than a serious product.
Technical specifications T1 Phone on paper they don't look bad at all. Trump Mobile is promising a large 6,78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is the standard for the upper mid-range these days. The phone is also expected to offer four cameras, led by a 50Mpx main sensor, supplemented by an 8Mpx ultrawide-angle lens and a 50Mpx telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. The selfie camera should also have 50 Mpx. The equipment also includes a 5000 mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging, a fingerprint reader and facial unlocking using AI Face Unlock. The performance should be taken care of by an unspecified Snapdragon platform from Qualcomm and the operating system will be Android. However, the uncertainties surrounding the specific processor, device manufacturer or more detailed parameters are currently raising questions about whether this is really an original smartphone.one developed for Trump Mobile, or rather a modified model from a Chinese manufacturer with new branding and a gold design.
T1 Phone is still an interesting example of how powerful a brand associated with the name of Donald Trump can be. Despite long months of uncertainty, the project managed to attract hundreds of thousands of customers willing to pay a deposit in advance. If the phones are indeed delivered now, it will be one of the most bizarre, but at the same time the most successful crowdfunding stories in recent years. The question remains whether the phone itself will meet the expectations that Trump Mobile has built around it. If not, the project could very quickly become a huge reputational problem not only for the operator, but also for the Trump brand itself.
The operating system will be Android and the graphics superstructure will be Trumpas.
