Okay, here's what to know about the Trump Smartphone (T1).
The T1 smartphone is a gold-finished Android device that runs on Android 15. It’s equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, which should deliver a smooth and vibrant viewing experience. Under the hood, it packs 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage; expandable using a SanDisk memory card.
Key Specifications
Camera: The T1 features a 50MP main camera, paired with a 16MP selfie camera. However, it also includes two additional rear cameras—a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor—which have been criticized for their low resolution and limited usefulness.

Battery: It has a 5,000mAh battery with 20W charging, offering decent endurance but not the fastest charging speed compared to some competitors.

Other Features: The phone retains a 3.5mm headphone jack (a rarity these days), and includes a fingerprint sensor and AI Face Unlock for security
