Headphone jack

Hey, they didn’t fuck everything up!

About the only redeeming quality of what is otherwise conservative-themed shovelware tbh. 🤣

Fredselfish@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 17:20 next collapse

Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works on 16 Jun 17:44 collapse

Except that they’re claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.

No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.

This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.

Sony does

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

Man me too these older sony phones that were perfect and compact for the hand

Sorry, I meant “that and made in the US”, but I get that that’s not what I said.

What phone is made in the US anyway?

13igTyme@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 03:07 next collapse

Moto G power comes close. 8gb ram, but has the other stuff. I enjoy moto phones.

anomnom@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jun 09:56 collapse

They’re morons and don’t know the difference between RAM and Storage. There’s no way it isn’t 128gb storage.

MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 16 Jun 22:00 next collapse

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).

Don’t forget the code to listen in. You get a twofer. Both the motherboard and rump will add surveillance code to listen in.

  • Costs $499 or
  • Made in USA

Pick one. You can’t have both.

Steve@startrek.website on 16 Jun 20:31 next collapse

Apparently it costs $169 without the T

IllNess@infosec.pub on 16 Jun 20:34 next collapse

* Case made in USA, not the phone.

Zron@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 13:18 collapse

The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.

Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.

If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.

krigo666@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 17:48 next collapse

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

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

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…

Klear@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jun 09:30 collapse

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G according to the article. You can buy a golden one for less than $200.

Treczoks@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 15:01 collapse

From a conman like Trump I expected nothing less but a ripoff.

I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.

These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Don’t forget:

  • 1776 strikers
  • Gadston flag stickers
  • tattered flag motifs
  • 3% stickers including the III ones
  • 13 star flags
  • any kind of mailbox lettering
  • all bro dozers
  • nra stickers
jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk on 16 Jun 18:11 next collapse

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.

DrakeAlbrecht@lemm.ee on 16 Jun 18:25 next collapse

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

Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 16 Jun 18:41 next collapse

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.

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G sold for $169 lol.

“Components” means in this case the phone and the sticker.

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

floofloof@lemmy.ca on 16 Jun 19:54 collapse

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…

Almacca@aussie.zone on 16 Jun 20:53 next collapse

They’re probably in on the scam.

squaresinger@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 21:49 collapse

Don’t you know, selling phones is an official presidential act, thus he has immunity.

Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.
