- Trump Mobile’s T1 phone has been confirmed to be a modified version of the HTC U24 Pro.
- An iFixit teardown shows identical internal layouts and very similar components.
- The T1 comes with a slightly larger battery that charges slower than the HTC U24 Pro’s.
Since the Trump Mobile T1 first landed in the hands of media outlets last month, observers have noted that the phone bears a striking resemblance to 2024’s HTC U24 Pro. Now, thanks to a full teardown, we’ve seen that it pretty much is, but with a couple of small differences.
The folks at iFixit got their hands on NBC’s media sample Trump Phone, took it apart, and thoroughly documented the process. Internally, the T1 is essentially identical to the U24 Pro, featuring all the same components in the same spots. The biggest change is that Trump Mobile’s version comes with a different battery, which is marked as 5,000 mAh to the original’s 4,600, but also charges slower, with a 30-watt ceiling compared to the U24’s 60-watt limit.
