Apparently the much talked about smartphone “All-American” Of Trump It may not be so much “Made in the USA“. As we have seen, Trump Mobile is selling a completely golden smartphone, the T1 Phonebut the suspicion is that at the moment the device is produced … in China.

The T1 Phone “Made in the USA” could actually be produced in China

Yesterday we witnessed the birth of Trump Mobile, a new virtual mobile operator (MVNO), and the debut of T1 Phone, an Android smartphone advertised on the official website as “Made in the USA“And currently in pre -order at the price of 499 dollars. The actual release of the device is scheduled for September, more or less in the debut period of the iPhone 17 (if they will be called), but some doubts are starting to appear.

We now know the continuous requests and pressures from the Trump administration because Apple starts to produce its iPhones on the US territory, and actually the new smartphone is advertised on the official website as designed and built in the United States. According to what reported by Apple Insiderin reality the new T1 Phone would be nothing more than a rebrand of a “Economic Chinese Android device“With an increased price. Actually the components immediately lead to suspicions: T1 Phone offers a 6.8 -inch AMOLED display with integrated digital fingerprint sensor, and there are no US producers currently able to provide this component. It follows that they must be imported, as well as photographic sensors and other pieces.

Tinglong Dai, Professor of Operational Management and Business Analysis at Johns Hopkins University, said to The Wall Street Journal That it will probably want five years to build the infrastructure necessary to produce such a product in the USA. At the moment “There is absolutely no way to make the screen, that memory, that camera, that battery“And everything else in the United States said.

The analyst Max Weinbach tried to “play” a little on X, trying to identify from which smartphone I derived The new T1 Phone: the answer apparently is the REVVAL 7 PRO 5G Proposed by T-Mobile, a device produced by Wingtech in Jiaxing, Wuxi or Kunming, China. It therefore seems that the new phone can actually be a rebrand of this REVVL 7 PR 5G, with some aesthetic modificationmoved cameras and some “retouched” characteristics.

The price of the latter? The recommended one is generally 250 dollars, but on offer on Amazon.com it is proposed to about $ 170. Of course without golden coloring: for that you need to spend 499 dollars. The T1 Phone may have been modified in the United States, he always sentenced Apple Insiderbut it was certainly not designed and assembled in the United States. For the moment, the Trump Organization has not responded to further requests for information.
