Trump Mobile has overhauled its website<\/a>, introducing a new logo, new design language, and a new version of the T1 Phone. The redesigned phone is the same one that two company executives showed me over a video call<\/a> two months ago, seemingly now confirmed to be the final design \u2014 but there\u2019s still no word on when it will arrive.<\/p>\n

The phone is still gold, of course, with an American flag design on the rear that\u2019s black in some images, but white in others, alongside a \u201cTrump Mobile\u201d wordmark. I was shown a similar design but with an enormous \u201cT1\u201d logo across the whole of the rear, but I was told that would be removed, and it\u2019s nowhere to be seen on the current design. There\u2019s a triple rear camera with the lenses spaced a little oddly (and another \u201cTrump Mobile\u201d logo), and a curved edge to the phone\u2019s body with a headphone jack at the top. It still looks quite a lot like the HTC U24 Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The spec list has been updated too. The phone has apparently returned to a 6.78-inch OLED display (the size listed at launch<\/a>, then swiftly changed<\/a> to 6.25 inches for no obvious reason). The triple rear cameras include 50-megapixel main and 2x telephoto lenses plus an 8-megapixel ultrawide, with a 50-megapixel selfie camera, just as I was promised in February. The 5,000mAh battery supports 30W charging, and the phone will ship with 512GB of storage and an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series chipset, and run Android 15.<\/p>\n

The phone is now listed with a \u201cpromotional price\u201d of $499, which used to simply be its standard price. The site is still accepting $100 deposits, with the promise that you can \u201clock in\u201d the \u201cpromotional pricing.\u201d When I spoke to executives Eric Thomas and Don Hendrickson in February, they declared that $499 had been an \u201cintroductory\u201d price, which would be rising after the relaunch \u2014 though they promised that early buyers would still be charged $499 total, and that the new price would be \u201cless than $1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still no mention of what that final price will be, nor when the phone will be released \u2014 the previous \u201clater this year\u201d mention has been stripped from the site. The qualifiers about American manufacturing have changed again too: the phone is now \u201cshaped by American innovation,\u201d with \u201cAmerican teams helping guide design and quality.\u201d The site is no more specific than that, though executives previously told me the phone would go through final assembly in Miami. The original \u201cmade in the USA\u201d description is long gone, and sadly so is its odd, euphemistic replacement, the claim that there are \u201cAmerican hands behind every device.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside the updated phone details, Trump Mobile has tweaked its cellular plans too. There\u2019s now a 15 percent discount for military members and veterans on the $47.45 plan, and a new family plan that has decreasing prices the more lines you add. The site now even advertises that \u201c\u2018Trump\u2019 will proudly be displayed in the status bar as your network,\u201d which sounds more like a threat than a promise, but I can confirm is true \u2014 Verge writer Allison Johnson saw exactly that when she tested the Trump Mobile plan<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

The website as a whole has been redesigned, with slicker design language and a more modern logo. There\u2019s also much more prominent placement for Don Jr. and Eric Trump, the president\u2019s sons, with Eric given pride of place on the homepage, Don Jr. on the Plans page, and the two greet you together in a new video promo on the About page. The two brothers officially run the Trump Organization, and have been heavily promoting Trump Mobile from the start.<\/p>\n

Still, the website is clearly a work in progress. When I first found the updated site earlier this morning, around 3am ET, several subpages were resolving with what appeared to be URLs for a preproduction staging area, and if you tried to place a deposit for the T1 Phone, you were greeted with the original, ugly render the company shared last June. Both of those errors have been fixed in the hours since, though a new error on one page suggests that $499 is the deposit for the phone, not its total price. The new logo has already been added to the company\u2019s Facebook and Instagram pages, but not its X or Truth Social profiles, suggesting this rebrand is still rolling out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reported recently that there have been signs of life from Truth Mobile, between FCC clearance<\/a> being granted to the phone and a new 47 Plan trademark filing<\/a> last week. This website redesign is the latest evidence that, at long last, the Trump phone might become a real phone after all. Some day. Maybe.<\/p>\n

Update, April 14th: Edited to reflect changes to the Trump Mobile site, including different pricing and bug fixes. <\/p>\n
