Trump’s $499 Gold Smartphone Likely Manufactured Overseas, Experts Say
UNITED STATES, JUN 18 – Trump Mobile launches a $499 Android smartphone claiming US design and assembly, but experts say it likely originates from China with limited domestic manufacturing capabilities.
- President Donald Trump's company announced the launch of Trump Mobile cell phone service and the $499 gold-colored T1 phone on Monday, June 16, 2025, in New York.
- The launch follows Trump's broader goal to boost U.S. electronics manufacturing, though experts note the phone was not designed or fully manufactured in the U.S. and will rely on imported components.
- The T1 phone operates on T-Mobile's network via Liberty Mobile, includes features like telemedicine and roadside assistance, and is priced with a $47.45 monthly plan called 'The 47 Plan.'
- Analysts say the device likely comes from a Chinese original design manufacturer, possibly Wingtech, and manufacturing phones domestically requires infrastructure not immediately available.
- Trump Mobile is launching into a telecommunications industry largely controlled by major providers, with uncertain prospects for initially producing devices domestically, while the Trump family maintains their investment in related projects such as the TRUMP meme coin.

It also bought him (and his family) four additional years to fulfill the primary goal of the presidential campaign he launched a decade ag…
