Anyone who knows him and his history, he's a scam artist and narcissist. He serves himself alone. That's been clear for decades upon decades.

Trump supporters after getting scammed by the Nth time: "I still back Trump!"
Chyna phone.
The image has no label, but I suppose the Trump phone is the left one, since the other is cooler
they moved the position of the light LED nearby the camera. That's a surprising amount of effort for something that even has the wrong number of stripes on the american flag
I'm probably just going blind, but I can't see this moved LED light. The layout of the two images looks identical to me.
It's worse than having the wrong number of stripes. There's the right number of stripes on there, because he's using his name as the bottom stripe.
He's basically saying that he's more important than Georgia.
That's kinda crazy. HTC stopped making phones then kinda sorta started again but not in the US
"CT scanners are woke" - Trump supporters, probably
Does this count as drop shipping?
I mean, is it even shipping?
Drop skipping
So far, the ONLY benefit I've seen about this phone is that of you go into the developer options, you can immediate jail break it.
Obtaining root isn't jailbreaking, it’s just taking full control of your linux-based system :)
Jailbreaking is so called because you have to escape the walled garden (jail) of apple products, which is a challenge because they wrote their own code. Not a problem you really have with android to begin with. You don’t even need root for most of what you want to do with android.

I want to install an app in September
Well, you won't need root for that
most of what you want to do
why are you defending proprietary software?
You don't need root for that. Just use a third party rom, like Graphene, Lineage, etc..
You need bootloader access which is arguably a higher permission than root
Thanks for the protection, KNOX!
Ugh...
Jailbreaking does not only refer to apple products. It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer. Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking

With you so far.
Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking
Not if the method to do so consists entirely of steps that the manufacturer allows and documents.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, unlockable bootloaders mean that custom software can be installed without a jail to break out of.
rooting and unlocking the bootloader are not the same thing. if the manufacturer provides steps to unlock the bootloader, then i agree that that is not jailbreaking
To be fair, it kinda originated in the Apple world
rooting it or unlocking the bootloader?
Kinda sucks because I am legitimately interested in a gold HTC phone.
What if you bought an HTC phone and printed a case with Gold TPU?
*cries in Bowden tube*
You can do it. I designed and printed my phone case in TPU on an Ender 3.
It even used two materials. PLA for the hard outer face, and TPU from there up giving a soft interface and bumper edge.
TPU does generally suck on a Bowden machine. Stringing galore!
This creates an interesting question.
How much cheaper than the base price would it have to be for you to willingly carry around a Trump branded phone that's so immediately recognizable that everyone you meet will know what you're using?
You'd have to pay me to carry a Trump-branded phone. Like, pay me a lot. And it would have to be a recurring monthly fee.
I'd like to say I'd stick to my principles here, but cases cost $10. Worst case I'm in a red state, wouldn't be proud of it, but a bit of maga camo would make my life easier.
This technique is like an average bootleg phone you can buy from mainland China
Well nowadays you can actually do better and get one that isn't 2yo
Wait, wasn't HTC banned from US sales due to security concerns about Chinese devices?
You're thinking of Huawei. HTC is a Taiwanese company that used to be a major player among Android OEMs, but their business dried up and they exited the global market. I didn't even know they were still making phones, to be honest.
Or ZTE
You are correct. I had a ZUK phone at the time, it kicked ass. Miss that little thing...
I think I'm thinking of ZTE, the change was like 2016-2017.
I had a ZUK phone at the time, and it was amazing. Lenovo bought them and incorporated them, and my Lenovo phone was also excellent but useless in the States due to using different bands/lack of software for the West.
OK but isn't HTC's reputation pretty good? Or maybe used to be...
So far I always heard the T1 would be some even cheaper no-brand from China.
OTOH, it could still be exactly that - a no-name rip-off of the HTC U24 Pro. The article actually supports that: the boards are the same but not identical. Like somebody used the same plans, not the same factory.

The article literally says:
Digging deeper into the phone reveals more of the same. As in the same component shapes, the same component placement, the same screw placements, and even the same anti-tamper sticker placements. Do you know what else is likely to be the same? The factories that made these parts. The biggest clue? The mainboard itself.
OK I didn't read that far. You must admit the pictures look like what in German is called baugleich - identical in construction, but not completely identical.
Does it matter? This phones like 2 years old lol
I know 8yo phones that still receive updates.
I wonder how the Trump phone will handle this. Not at all, I suspect.
Its not about that, its about this "new trump phone" being some old phone being sold as new

I'm going back to an old LG phone after my current phone dies. There really has not been much real progress in hardware or software, more like loss of features and controls with new updates these days.
