499 dollars (around 430 euros ht). This is the price announced by Donald Trump for his first smartphone, the T1 Phone 8002. This is accompanied by Trump Mobile, a virtual operator, whose only package is shown at $ 47.45 per month (around 41 euros).
US President’s fans can now book this device, only available in golden color, for $ 100.
The announcement, which had leaked due to a brand deposit on Monday, June 16, is made very over the Trump organization, with a non -final visual of the product, officially expected for September 2025.
A correct technical sheet
For this price, it has a correct technical sheet, but far from radiant: 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage space, a large 6.78 -inch AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refreshment speed, three rear sensors (50 megapixel main sensor, depth sensor and 2 megapixel sensor each). All accompanied by a 5,000 mAh battery. A smartphone that will probably not try to compete with the upper end.
Donald Trump’s entourage does not specify the type of chip used, but ensures that the T1 phone will be executed on Android 15 at the launch (while Android 16 will be released). Above all, we are promised a smart phone “made in the US.”, In other words, made in the United States. However, it is unknown how such a price is possible in a country where the manufacture of a smartphone has been abandoned for a long time.
But for the Trump organization, which manages Donald Trump’s assets and, therefore, for the T1 Phone 8002, it is undoubtedly a communication coup with a device whose back greatly withdraws the iPhone 16 Pro. The US President has continued in recent weeks to affirm that Apple has designed his intelligent flagship phone in the US soil. One thing far from being possible today.
Trump phone against iPhone
Tim Cook, Apple Chief, had estimated that there was simply a production chain available for a product as consumer as the iPhone, while analysts believed that a brand smartphone designed on the American soil could exceed $ 3,500.
In the midst of a commercial war against China, Donald Trump is looking for a means to repatriate the production of many technological products, even if that means forcing the hands to the companies in the sector by making Yoyo with customs tasks. The fact is that the promises of the leaders face a reality: before they can imagine a real “made in the United States”, it would already take factories, as well as the formed and available workforce.
It does not seem to scare Eric Trump. With Fox Business, LDonald Trump’s son has already praised the “revolutionary” capabilities of Trump Mobile and the associated smartphone “that will probably be done in the United States.”
