The "ghost phone" Trump Mobile has borrowed images and then copied them

The T1 Phone, a product of the Trump Mobile company, is causing confusion with its unclear advertising strategy, using images of other phones instead of the original design.

Initially, when the T1 Phone was launched, the promotional image of this product appeared in the form of an iPhone with a gold-plated back and printed Trump Mobile logo.

However, recently, the company continued to post a new advertisement with the image of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The advertisement image shows the T1 Phone (left) identical to the Galaxy S25 Ultra (right) when using a Spigen case.

On August 21, on the X platform, Trump Mobile's communications team posted an ad promoting pre-orders for the T1. The post was accompanied by a picture of a completely unfamiliar phone.

Easily recognizable, this is the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a color change to gold, adding the T1 logo and the American flag.

Looking closer, you can see that this image is a rendering of the Galaxy S25 Ultra sitting in a Spigen case, with the Spigen logo not even removed.

The incident quickly gained attention. Even Spigen noticed the impersonation and left a comment on X with the cryptic question: "??? bro what?".

The use of the Galaxy S25 Ultra image makes Trump Mobile's advertising strategy even more confusing, because this design is completely different from the official render image of the T1 Phone, which is an iPhone.

Additionally, the new post on X promises “we won’t have to wait much longer!” for the T1 Phone. However, this contradicts the original information. The company’s website has removed the expected launch dates of August and September this year.

In addition, the technical specifications have also changed. The T1 Phone's screen is now only 6.25 inches, a significant reduction compared to the originally announced 6.78-inch size.

Regarding the origin, the company also no longer affirms that the phone will be made in the US, instead only saying that "behind every device are American hands." These contradictions raise many questions about the authenticity of the T1 Phone product.
