Another of The Tramp's scams. If it materializes, I bet it's made in China.

Sony does

Sony Xperia 1 VI - Full phone specifications

Maybe it's a Samsung phone and a "Made in USA" sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both "designed" and "made" in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.

Now if only Sony would get their shit together and start making a compact version of the Xperia line again.

Option 2: Lie. When caught, lie about having lied.

Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.

Is this provided via T-Mobile or did he just rip off T-Mobile’s logo font?

Samsung

It absolutely won't be.
Best case It'll be a white label from local Chinese brands like Oppo, worst case -- a no-name company selling 150$ phones on alibaba. I'd put my money on the latter, the margins will be much better.

Great scam for a washed up celebrity with a cult following.

Aaaand here we have it, it's not made in the USA:

'Eventually': Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn't being made in the USA

Didn't Escobar Inc. already try this?

Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.

He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...

Sorry, I meant "that and made in the US", but I get that that's not what I said.

Fair, I'm just a fan boy evangelizing

I wonder if the Museum of Failure has a deposit in

Apparently it costs $169 without the T

* Case made in USA, not the phone.

They're probably in on the scam.

Did anyone really expect them to tell the truth? Lets see what the real specs will be. Maybe it is a repackaged Pixel 3 or 4...

That's also how you know it's a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don't have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

Ew why does it have trumps name all over it. He's actually such a cancer.
