As much as many of us would like the Trump phone saga to be over, the T1 just keeps hanging around. As noted by The Verge, an updated design has now been made official on the Trump Mobile website, which is to say, a fresh new direction that still looks like total sh*t. Here it is, for all your viewing displeasure:<\/p>\n This is basically the same look that Trump\u2019s goons showed The Verge\u2019s Dominic Preston over a crappy video call recently, but in higher website-worthy resolution now. It looks notably different from the original mockup, which had clip art iPhone vibes. Here\u2019s a picture of the original render for context:<\/p>\n Obviously, getting rid of the \u201cI hope everyone thinks I\u2019m rich\u201d gold finish was never on the table, so that\u2019s been carried forward, but the camera alignment is officially different, and the big-ass \u201cT1\u201d branding has been scrubbed off like a piece of broccoli off President Trump\u2019s dinner plate. As The Verge also notes, the price is now listed as \u201cpromotional\u201d and starts at $499. To lock that \u201cpromotional\u201d price in, you can send Trump Mobile a $100 deposit. To be honest, the only thing that price is promoting in me is an urge to log off for good.<\/p>\n Luckily, the \u201cyou\u201d sending a deposit is very metaphorical in this case because I\u2019m not sure there is a person on this Earth who actually wants this thing. Trump Mobile certainly hasn\u2019t given any empirical evidence of demand. Maybe hardcore Trump fans will buy one as a collector\u2019s item? I don\u2019t know, sound off in the comments if you\u2019re buying the Trump phone, I guess. I won\u2019t hold my breath.<\/p>\n All of the specs are mostly the same as previous reports. There\u2019s a 6.78-inch AMOLED display (slightly larger than what was advertised initially) that has a 120Hz refresh rate. There\u2019s also a 50-megapixel main camera, as well as an 8-megapixel wide sensor and 50-megapixel telephoto with 2x zoom. The front-facing camera is 50 megapixels. There\u2019s a 5,000mAh battery that has 30W charging, and it has a Snapdragon chip, but Trump Mobile doesn\u2019t specify which.<\/p>\n Rattling off the specs on the Trump phone feels like explaining which generation of LTE a 400-pound alligator has. I\u2019m pretty sure no one wants to buy an alligator, and even if they did, they sure as f*ck aren\u2019t going to be using it to text their friends (given they have any to begin with). I should note that we still don\u2019t really know if the T1 is real or not, since no one (at least no one we can trust) has gotten to hold one IRL, so we can all at least go to sleep tonight with a small shred of hope that we\u2019ll never have to lay eyes on a T1 for real.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Trump](\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/trump-phone-cropped.jpg\")
