Some extra features we miss from Google and Samsung phones

The Trump Mobile T1 phone is being shipped to some pre-order customers after a lengthy delay, and amid very real concerns that it will be vaporware. We’ve already seen the phone in the real world, but what do you actually get in the box?

CNET A short unboxing video of the Trump phone was posted on YouTube, giving us a good idea of ​​what to expect when you open the box. Watch the video at the top of the page.

This shows that you are getting more items in the box than a normal Samsung or Pixel phone. In addition to the expected (but braided) USB-C cable, you’ll also get a charger. This is good news, although there is no information about charging speed or other details. Another welcome addition to the box is a clear protective case.

In contrast, your typical Apple, Google, or Samsung device only comes with a USB-C cable. So if you are buying this phone then after this you do not need to buy the main accessories.

otherwise, CNET Note that the device has a plastic back and comes preloaded with Doctegrity and Truth Social apps. The outlet also found that photos captured by Trump’s phone had a T1 logo and a time/date watermark. However, it is not clear whether this watermark can be disabled or not.

In any case, I still wouldn’t recommend you shell out the money for this phone. The outlet claimed that Trump Mobile accelerated its pre-orders “because we’re CNET.com.” It’s not unheard of for dubious brands to send a few units to media outlets to temporarily appease customers and recreate hype. Additionally, it is believed that the device could be a rebadged version of the 2024 HTC U24 Pro. It also looks like the Trump mobile website may be leaking user data. But even without the questionable business and security practices, there’s no shortage of great, cheap Android phones from established companies that make more sense to buy from.
