"We've reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone's whereabouts. As usual, we're still waiting for a response. In the meantime, it's nowhere to be found at CES 2026. CES isn't a big smartphone show, but there have been more new handsets here than I expected. Samsung gave us our first hands-on look at the Galaxy Z TriFold, Motorola launched its first book-style Razr Fold, and phone keyboard company Clicks revealed its BlackBerry-esque Android phone the Communicator."
"But there's one upcoming phone we didn't see: The T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), the phone "designed with American values in mind," was nowhere to be seen at the largest tech show in the US. I searched for Trump Mobile's handset across the various Las Vegas convention centers and hotel suites that make up the sprawl of CES. Trump Mobile didn't hold a press conference, nor did it reach out to The Verge to set up any meetings at Trump Tower."
Searches for Trump Mobile's handset across Las Vegas convention centers and hotel suites found no presence at CES 2026. Trump Mobile held no press conference and did not set up meetings at Trump Tower. Searching "Trump" in the CES exhibitor database returned no results, and Liberty Mobile also showed no exhibitor listing. The T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), billed as designed with American values, was absent from the largest US tech show. The T1 Phone is five months late from its initial August release, with no official explanation or new release date. CES featured new handsets from Samsung, Motorola, and Clicks.
