After nine months of delays, the Trump Mobile T1 phone (nicknamed “The Trump Phone”) shipped to members of the media. We got our hands on one we preordered, and its gold color is ornate, bordering on gaudy.

Perhaps one of the few elements that survived from the original odd mockup of the Trump Phone from June 2025 was the American flag on the back. It has 50 stars, but looks to be missing some stripes.

Instead of the gold “Make America Great Again” wallpaper from the original mockup, the home screen now has a royal blue background with Trump Mobile in white. If that’s not your jam, you can change it.

The T1 Trump Mobile phone comes with a case, a wall charger and even a gold USB-C cable. There is a tiny user manual that is only in English.

The Trump Phone has a waterfall display design that was popular on Android handsets three to five years ago.

It comes with a close-to-stock version of Android 15, but it’s unclear how many years of software and security updates Trump Mobile will commit to supporting.

There is a headphone jack, but it’s on the top of the phone.

It has three rear cameras: an ultrawide, wide-angle and 2x telephoto camera.

In different lighting, the gold plastic back takes on different hues. Here it’s nearly mustard color.

In this shot, the gold color appears slightly more muted.

The T1 phone here looks almost khaki colored.

It comes preloaded with the Truth Social app. But lacks TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook and other social media apps. You can add these other apps via the Google Play Store.

Here is everything you get with the T1 Trump Mobile phone. It’s actually a lot.
