It’s been over two months since Trump Mobile announced the T1 Phone<\/a> was being \u201cMade in the USA\u201d designed \u201cwith American values in mind,\u201d and it seems that anyone deciding to preorder it still can\u2019t be sure exactly what phone they might receive.<\/p>\n

In posts on X<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, the Trump Mobile account encouraged followers to place their preorder, promising them that \u201cthe wait is almost over.\u201d This was joined by an image that looks nothing like the one of the T1 phone that’s currently on the Trump Mobile website<\/a>. It instead looks rather suspiciously like the rear side of a Samsung Galaxy S25<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not just that, it actually appears to be the back of a third-party S25 phone case from Spigen<\/a> that has been photoshopped gold and stamped with the T1 logo and trademark American flag. Still visible, just behind the flag, is the Spigen company logo.<\/p>\n

Spigen\u2019s social media account commented under the post on X with an apt \u201c??? bro what\u201d before writing on its own page that it had a \u201clawsuit incoming<\/a>.\u201d WIRED has reached out to Spigen for comment.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time questions have been raised about what the T1 Phone will actually turn out to be. Not long after it was announced in June, the specs of the phone changed<\/a> on the Trump Mobile website, and claims that it would be made in the USA were deleted.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Trump Mobile website claims the T1 Phone will have a 6.2-inch punch-hole AMOLED screen with 120-Hz refresh rate, 50-MP main camera with a 16-MP selfie camera, and a 5,000-mAh battery. There\u2019s also 256 GB of internal storage, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and \u201cAI face unlock.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s priced at $499, which includes a $100 deposit that apparently covers shipping and handling as well as your first month of Trump Mobile service. This suggests buyers will be required to use Trump Mobile with their T1 Phone, with no clear details before you authorize payment of any ongoing commitment to the service.<\/p>\n

Users can, at least, wait to receive the phone before activating the service and can request a full refund \u201cat any time prior to the shipment of the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

As to what the phone will look like when (and if) that ever happens, it\u2019s impossible to know\u2014and Trump Mobile seems as unsure<\/a> as the rest of us. All of which isn\u2019t helping to curb suspicions that, right now, the T1 Phone\u2014initially pegged to arrive in August\u2014probably doesn\u2019t exist in any shape or form.<\/p>\n
