The Trump Cell T1 Cellphone was introduced final yr and went by way of fairly a couple of design iterations within the meantime, however now appears to have been finalized. The cellphone has began transport to some media retailers (round 9 months after it was first promised to), and the precise machine does look lots just like the HTC U24 Professional from 2024, simply with a distinct shade and again panel.

A teardown has now just about confirmed this. The teardown consultants at iFixit have achieved their magic and uncovered the truth that the 2 units are almost equivalent, simply as we thought they might be.
Clearly, if this is similar machine, then it is almost definitely not made within the USA, as Trump Cell’s preliminary advertising claimed. Now, they only say it is assembled within the USA, which can nonetheless be true, there is no approach to 100% confirm that declare.
Earlier than you suppose HTC itself is making this cellphone, keep in mind that the Taiwanese firm offered its cell division to Google a few years in the past, and ever since then it is solely been releasing only a few units annually, that are solely out there in a couple of markets.
This makes us suppose that HTC is working with a Chinese language ODM, which mainly created the design and builds the handset for HTC. And Trump Cell could have contracted the identical ODM, choosing this mannequin too, therefore the near-identical design. ODMs have catalogs, and so that is truly fairly straightforward to do.
Anyway, if that’s the case then we assume that the Trump T1 can also be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC similar to the HTC U24 Professional. Trump Cell solely lists a “Snapdragon 7 Sequence” chip, with out going into additional element.
