When Trump Mobile archetypal unveiled the T1 Phone, we were confused by the mixed marketing, which included dubious renders of what astatine slightest appeared to beryllium an archetypal telephone on with aggregate appearances from what was rather intelligibly a gold-plated iPhone. Now we tin adhd Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra into the mix.

The Trump Mobile squad shared an advertisement to X connected Wednesday pushing preorders of the T1, but with an representation we’d ne'er seen before. You don’t person to look hard to recognize that this is an S25 Ultra that’s been Photoshopped golden with a T1 logo and US flag; looking a small person confirms that it’s a render of that telephone successful a Spigen case, close down to the Spigen logo they didn’t fuss to remove.

It’s a singular prime due to the fact that the S25 Ultra looks adjacent less similar the T1 Phone’s authoritative renders than the iPhone the institution has previously used successful promotions. Even Spigen noticed the dupe, saying what we’re each reasoning successful its reply connected X: “??? bro what”

The caller X station promises that “The hold is astir over!” for the T1 Phone, which primitively advertised motorboat dates of August and September (one successful the property release, the different connected the site), but present lists nary day astatine all. The institution besides no longer claims the telephone volition beryllium made successful the USA, alternatively saying determination are “American hands down each device.” The telephone has shrunk dramatically since motorboat too, present promising a 6.25-inch screen, mode down from the 6.78-inch show described erstwhile it was archetypal announced.
