TL;DR<\/p>\n

CNET has unboxed the Trump Mobile T1 smartphone.
\nThe device comes with a charger and protective case, unlike phones from other brands.
\nIt\u2019s believed that the phone is a rebadged HTC U24 Pro.<\/p>\n

The Trump Mobile T1<\/a> phone is shipping to some preorder customers after a lengthy delay, and amid very real concerns that it would be vaporware. We\u2019ve already got a real-world look at the phone, but what do you actually get in the box?<\/p>\n

CNET<\/a> posted a short unboxing video of the Trump Phone on YouTube, giving us a good idea of what to expect when you open the box. Check out the video at the top of the page.<\/p>\n

It turns out that you\u2019re getting more items in the box than with a typical Samsung<\/a> or Pixel<\/a> phone. In addition to the expected (but braided) USB-C cable, you\u2019ll also find a charger. That\u2019s good news, although there\u2019s no word on charging speed or other details. Another welcome extra in the box is a clear protective case.<\/p>\n

By contrast, your typical Apple, Google, or Samsung device only comes with a USB-C cable. So you don\u2019t have to buy core accessories after the fact if you\u2019re purchasing this phone.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, CNET notes that the device has a plastic back and comes preloaded with Doctegrity and Truth Social apps. The outlet also found that images captured by the Trump Phone had a watermark featuring the T1 logo and the time\/date. It\u2019s unclear whether this watermark can be disabled, though.<\/p>\n

In any event, I still wouldn\u2019t recommend you put money down for this phone just yet. The outlet claimed that Trump Mobile expedited their pre-order \u201cbecause we are CNET.com.\u201d It\u2019s not unheard of for questionable brands to send some units to media outlets in order to temporarily appease customers and rebuild hype. Furthermore, it\u2019s believed the device could be a rebadged version of 2024\u2019s HTC U24 Pro. It also looks like the Trump Mobile website might be leaking user data<\/a>. But even without the questionable business and security practices, there\u2019s no shortage of great, cheap Android phones<\/a> from established companies that are more sensible purchases.<\/p>\n
