The T1 Phone features a golden metal housing and is designed to be a statement piece. It has the phrase “Make America Great Again” on the start screen. The device is expected to have a 6.8-inch OLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, promising a fluid visual experience, ideal for multimedia consumption.
Inside, a 12 GB RAM and 256 GB of internal storage (expandable via memory card) are anticipated. The photographic features will include a 50-megapixel main camera with a macro sensor. Other features include a 5,000 mAh battery, a headphone jack, and the Android operating system.
