TL;DR The Trump Phone’s tentative final design has been revealed, and it looks unlike any previous version.
The phone was teased by Trump Mobile executives in a recent interview.
The phone supposedly comes with upgraded specs compared to those previously announced, though we would believe it when we see the phone.
The Trump Phone has been an enigma, wrapped in mystery and dragged out for way too long. We’ve seen both the design and the details of the handset change over time, and we’ve seen its description shift from “made in America” to “made for America.” Finally, we have a glimpse of what the phone could look like in reality, along with details about some of its specifications.
Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, two executives at Trump Mobile, were recently interviewed by The Verge, where they shared details about the upcoming phone.

Based on the visuals, the phone appears to carry three cameras on the back. The executive said the phone uses 50MP sensors on both the selfie and primary rear cameras. While the purpose of the other cameras wasn’t elaborated, the Camera app’s UI, as seen by The Verge, suggests these would be ultrawide and telephoto cameras. The back also appears curved, unlike recent flagships, which have moved to flat back panels. The design reminds me of the Motorola Edge and Edge Plus (2022).
The executives also said that while the phone will retain its golden finish and the American flag on the back, the large T1 logo would be removed from the final phone.
