tl/dr: It’s a rebranded 2-year-old midrange
SamsungHTC with a shell most people describe as piss-colored, a US flag with only 11 stripes printed on it, a Trump wallpaper and Truth Social preinstalled.
And still only available to media representatives.Pretty much exactly what any sane person expected.
Reminds me of a scam by the son(?) of Pablo Escobar a while back where they sold the ““Escobar”” Fold (which was obviously just a Samsung Galaxy Fold 1) for $200 or something ridiculously low like that.
Of course it sold out within minutes but the only ones that ever received their phones were influencers.
Oh, shit, i remember that clusterfuck. Wasn’t it also with something something blockchain/web3?
I think they tried to make their own crypto currency
Honestly I’m surprised there’s even a device at all
It’s a re-branded 2-year-old midrange SamsungHTChttps://www.ifixit.com/News/117461/the-trump-phone-looks-suspiciously-like-a-htc-u24-proThanks, corrected it.
This blew me away. I had HTC U11 and after that google or whoever it was bought out much of their talent and their next phones were garbage. I assumed the company died, but nope
So… The media bought into another Trump trap.
Color me shocked at 6.
The true test of a Trump Phone is whether or not you are a dumb enough to sign up to get one
The ‘Suckers and Losers’ plan.
Edit: I know it’s his idiot offsprings ‘business’ but let’s not pretend the pedophile doesn’t have his tiny tiny grimey hands in it.
spiffy
Security: As we previously posted, the Trump Mobile website suffered a potential data vulnerability, which might have exposed every customer who made an online account to buy this phone. It’s also unclear how long anyone can safely use the Trump phone itself: while Samsung and Google offer seven years of Android OS and security updates for their phones, Trump Mobile hasn’t said how many years of software updates the T1 will be receiving, if any.
Sadly databreaches are likely to happen on virtually any site you submit your information to. Companies don’t care about security because no one holds them accountable for their failures. Probably especially this site though, because its basically a list of just the biggest suckers in the world.
Companies in EU do care because of GDPR. It’s no joke.
Does EU actually enforce that? And if so, how?
Yes. Member states issue fines. The maximum is the higher of €20m or 4% of global annual turnover.
It’s currently a significant part of the Irish economy. They have issued the largest fine to date, €1.2 billion against Meta in 2023.
Lol as soon as he gets his money he’ll lose all interest, I’d be surprised if any update are going to be tested and made available at all.
“The technology business is more difficult than some may realize, as parts must be tested for quality assurances,” Trump Mobile CEO Pat O’Brien said in a statement to CNET."
Fucking Pat sounds like a real rocket surgeon
Makes me wonder what they produce which does not need to be tested for quality assurance …
Republicans.
Good, now i can start harassing Trump voters about why they’re still using iphones when dear leader’s phone is available

i thought this was vaporware?
Still can’t get one if you’re not working for approved media.
I mean it’s just an Android doesn’t it. It’s not like the Trump family made their own OS, which would at least have left us with a funny story.
So this thing isn’t vaporware? How disappointing
So where are HTC phones built?
