Summary
A Verge reporter briefly handled the rare Trump T1 and described it as a light, midrange Android phone with curved sides, a plastic back and oversized Trump branding.
iFixit this week confirmed the device is essentially a gold-colored rebadged HTC model, with Truth Social preinstalled but removable.
Only a handful of reporters and influencers appear to have received the phone, even though customer shipments were supposed to begin last month.
Nearly 1 year after preorders opened, the reporter said their own order still has not arrived, underscoring how scarce the device remains for paying customers.
