"Trump Mobile" phone "appears to be a modified Chinese android device recalled for "quality control & regulatory issues"

The T1 appears to be a slightly modified, Chinese-manufactured Android device called the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G that was briefly recalled after its launch 2024 due to quality control and regulatory issues. The device is manufactured by Wingtech Technology, which is owned by Luxshare, and both companies are based in China. Wingtech did not respond to Salon’s request to comment.

Indeed, comparing the T1’s specifications to those of the REVVL 7 Pro shows the devices share many similarities, with virtually identical displays and operating systems. The chief difference is higher-quality camera and video specifications, with the T1 offering better photo and video quality.

It also bears a striking resemblance to the Taiwanese-manufactured HTC U24, released in 2024. When compared side by side, the phones are virtually identical in display, platform software, and storage capacity, with the main difference being selfie camera quality. Different versions of the phone vary widely in price range, from $389 to nearly $1,100.

Am I relying on old promises? Trump promises?

Something about 'America First'?

trump does not know or care about the American flag

The American flag on the new Trump mobile phone only has 11 stripes. How many original colonies were there?
