Trump Mobile's 'Made in USA' Smartphone Found to be Rebranded Chinese Model

The "T1" smartphone, marketed by U.S. President Donald Trump's family business, Trump Mobile, as being "assembled in the USA," has been analyzed to be virtually identical to an existing Chinese model.

Experts suggest that, with the exception of the exterior and some battery components, the internal structure and core parts are nearly identical.

Trump Mobile had promoted the T1 as a product assembled in the United States. After several delays, the phone was released in mid-May with a retail price of $499 (approximately 760,000 KRW).
