The extensively revamped Trump Mobile website offers an enhanced glimpse of the refreshed T1 Phone.
Trump Mobile has revamped its website, unveiling a new logo, updated design language, and a new iteration of the T1 Phone. This redesigned phone is the same model that two company leaders demonstrated to me via video call two months ago, seemingly now validated as the final design — yet no information is available on its release date.
The phone remains gold, adorned with an American flag design on the back, which appears black in some images and white in others, accompanied by a “Trump Mobile” brand name. I was shown a similar design featuring a huge “T1” logo dominating the entire back, but I was informed that this would be omitted, and it is absent in the current design. There is a trio of rear cameras with lenses arranged in a slightly unusual manner (and another “Trump Mobile” emblem), along with a curved edge on the phone’s body and a headphone jack positioned at the top. It still bears a strong resemblance to the HTC U24 Pro.
The specifications have been updated as well. The phone is reportedly back to a 6.78-inch OLED screen (the size listed at launch, which was then quickly adjusted to 6.25 inches without clear reason). The triple rear cameras comprise a 50-megapixel main camera and 2x telephoto lenses, along with an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 50-megapixel front camera, just as I had been assured in February. The 5,000mAh battery supports 30W charging, and the device will be shipped with 512GB of storage and an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series chipset, running Android 15.
The phone is now advertised at a “promotional price” of $499, which was previously its standard price. The website continues to accept $100 deposits, assuring customers that they can “secure” the “promotional pricing.” In February, when I spoke with executives Eric Thomas and Don Hendrickson, they indicated that $499 had been an “introductory” price, which would rise following the relaunch — although they promised that early purchasers would still pay a total of $499, and that the new price would be “less than $1,000.”
There’s still no clarity on what the final price will be or when the phone is set to launch — the previous mention of “later this year” has been removed from the site. The statements regarding American manufacturing have also shifted: the phone is now described as “shaped by American innovation,” with “American teams assisting in guiding design and quality.” However, the site provides no further specifics, although executives had previously informed me that the final assembly would occur in Miami. The original “made in the USA” description is now absent, and unfortunately, its peculiar, euphemistic replacement, the assertion that there are “American hands behind every device,” has also vanished.
In addition to the revised phone details, Trump Mobile has also made adjustments to its cellular plans. A 15 percent discount is now available for military personnel and veterans on the $47.45 plan, along with a new family plan that provides decreasing costs the more lines that are added. The site now even proclaims that “‘Trump’ will be proudly displayed in the status bar as your network,” which sounds more like a threat than an assurance, but I can verify it is indeed true — Verge writer Allison Johnson experienced just that when she evaluated the Trump Mobile plan last year.
The entire website has undergone a redesign, featuring a sleeker design language and a newer logo. There’s also much more prominent visibility for Don Jr. and Eric Trump, the sons of the president, with Eric prominently displayed on the homepage, Don Jr. on the Plans page, and the two appear together in a new promotional video on the About page. The two siblings officially manage the Trump Organization and have been actively endorsing Trump Mobile since its inception.
Nonetheless, the website is evidently still a work in progress. When I first discovered the updated site early this morning around 3am ET, numerous subpages were resolving with what seemed to be URLs for a preproduction testing area, and if you attempted to make a deposit for the T1 Phone, you were met with the original, unattractive render the company released last June. Both of those issues have been remedied in the hours since, although a new error on one page implies that $499 is the deposit for the phone, not its full price. The new logo has already been incorporated into the company’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, but not yet its X or Truth Social profiles, indicating that this rebranding process is still ongoing.
Recently, I’ve reported indications of activity from Truth Mobile, with FCC approval granted for the phone and a recent 47 Plan trademark filing last week. This website redesign provides further evidence that, at long last, the Trump phone may actually become a reality. Someday. Perhaps.
Update, April 14th: Edited to reflect modifications to the Trump Mobile site, including new pricing and bug fixes.
