The T1 Phone Of Trump Mobileafter the commercial launch arrived several months late, went almost completely unnoticed on the market. The YouTube channel JerryRigEverything published a video teardown of the smartphone, confirming what had already been widely highlighted by the rumors of recent months. The smartphone is, in fact, a HTC U24 Pro rebrand.
The Trump Phone teardown
The video shows us ain-depth analysis of the smartphone, accompanied by the usual comments from the YouTuber, and also a real one comparison of the internal components with the model of HTC. Here is the video:
Although the marketing of the T1 Phone focuses heavily on national pride and slogans such as “Made in the USA”, JerryRigEverything’s teardown dismantles this narrative. Under the hood, the screw layout, battery compartment, and model numbers on the secondary circuitry are perfectly identical to those of the HTC U24 Pro, a device designed in Taiwan and assembled in China.
The operation therefore turns out to be a simple “white labeling” commercial, effectively denying the declarations of an exclusive American supply chain and manufacturing. The final and most emblematic act of the video consists of physically swap primary components between the two devices. By inserting the T1 Phone’s motherboard into the HTC U24 Pro chassis and vice versa, both smartphones turn on and function flawlessly
Recall that the so-called Trump Phone has becomeor can be ordered from last Junealthough, in the meantime, it has recorded a substantial increase in price (due to the memory crisis). The smartphone was presented in 2025 (with completely different design and specifications).
