JAKARTA T1 phones, or also called the US-made Trump Phone, are in the spotlight because of the design. This attention is not due to the good design of their cellphones, but very bad and like a clone.

T1 is a cellphone introduced by The Trump Organization. This phone is claimed to be an original 'American-made' smartphone with a golden color. However, there are many irregularities in the launch of this phone.

To date, Trump Phone has been promoted with edited phones. The circulating photos do not show a phone render made by the company, but modified results from other devices. This looks like a bad modification of Photoshop.

Launching from Appleinsider, T1 advertisements circulating actually use popular cellphone images such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. All of these images are only affixed with the T1 logo and the American flag on the back.

Looks very bad and strange. The golden color on the phone also looks unnatural and some of the phones seem to have different golden colors. Some look dark and some look a little brighter.

Experts and tech observers say that this is a very bad marketing trick. Although the goal may be to attract consumer attention, some customers may be deceived. What's more, the original T1 phone is not yet clear what it looks like.

It also caused a bit of controversy as Trump's organization still receives money from customers. They promise gold-painted and special logo devices. Consumers must pre-order based on unclear specifications.

The initial specifications revealed are similar to Revvl phones for 150 US dollars (IDR 2.4 million), much cheaper than the price price price priced for T1. This phone will be sold for $500 (IDR 8.1 million), equivalent to the cheapest flagship phone.

There are allegations that this phone is not really made in America, but made in China or South Korea which is given a new brand. If it is launched, this device is far from the quality of premium phones offered by Apple or Samsung.
