trump… scamming people??? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?!
How much is this trump phone?
Well they’re charging $500 but it’s anyone’s guess whether you’ll actually get the phone or not as far as I understand it the only people that have seen it so far are tech reviewers
Hell yeah, iFixit is based
“CT scanners are woke” - Trump supporters, probably
Does this count as drop shipping?
I mean, is it even shipping?
Drop skipping
Did someone say pants shitting?
I do the best shitting of pants, tremendous. Big men come up to me with tears in their eyes -from the stench- and they say “sir,” they all call me sir, they say, “sir, that’s the best pants shitting I’ve ever smelt. The sound is like a volcano erupting. Please, do it again”.
Some people say that they’ve never seen pants being shit on so vigorously. Yet it’s something I do multiple times a day!!White labeling. It could ALSO be dropshipped but no idea about that.
How do we know that HTC didn’t just rip off the immaculately designed Trump Phone?
Many very important people are saying so…
You know, they say. And they all say, “Crooked Xi has stolen the design” because he ONLY steals from THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, the USA, made GREAT AGAIN by me, Donald J TRUMP. And they say, “he stole the design to mock us”, and he did, but look at his phone. It’s NOT GOLDEN, which everybody knows. Every expert can tell you, you know, if it’s not GOLDEN then it’s not as good as the TRUMP MOBILE. Gold actually makes it faster, like our ships in the STRAIT OF HORMUZ. You know, the ships that will TERMINATE IRAN and lower Oil Prices so that the TRUMP PHONE becomes CHEAPER. Thank you for your attention to This Matter, DONALD J. TRUMP
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.
As has been said, he’s the cheapest rich person you’ll ever meet.
Huh? There clearly isn’t enough evidence to make that assumption. But don’t worry, I’m sure we can decide after 12 more years of his presidency
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
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.
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.
If you compare the photo of the back, it looks like the flash light and the noise reduction microphone swapped positions between the two phones. On the scan they look identical because the LED and the microphone are in the same spot, just inverted.
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.
You don’t even need root for most of what you want to do with android.
I want to install an app in September
most of what you want to do
why are you defending proprietary software?
That’s not much of a defense.
Well, you won’t need root for that
I want to install an app in September
Well shit, you can’t have everything.
Tap for spoiler
/s
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
It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer.
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
Sure, but the method of rooting that I’m familiar with (and one I suspect is the most popular) is to unlock the bootloader and modify a boot image that you can freely download from Google’s website in accordance with their license, and then load and run that boot image onto your device.
To be fair, it kinda originated in the Apple world
rooting it or unlocking the bootloader?
Bootloader unlock, although there are basically no Android phones which support root and not bootloader unlock in 2026 since you generally need an unlocked bootloader to flash magisk
what Trump is a scammer??
MADESCAMMED IN AMERICA
Trump supporters after getting scammed by the Nth time: “I still back Trump!”
After buying the cheap made in China hats…
After buying the cheap made in China flags…
After buying the shitty scam shoes…
After buying the gas-station quality knife…
After buying knockoff watch…
After buying preordering the phone…
After preordering the cOmMeMoRaTiVe gold and silver coins…
Them: “The next one will be legit!”
Don’t forget the $trump meme coin.
I would feel sorry for the people left holding the bag there, but…
And they’ll even admit it. They’ll admit to how bad things are and still do it. Conservatives are requisite morons and no, being “educated” has nothing to do with being or not being a moron.
Kinda sucks because I am legitimately interested in a gold HTC phone.
You can get a case.
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?
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.
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.
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!
I just now realized I could do this easily with my U1. It might be time for me to make a phone case 2.0
I printed mine with (4) 15×2mm magnets embedded which allowed me to easily attach it to a variety of desk and auto mounts.
I did this about 2 weeks before the iPhone started doing that, so I felt special for about that long. But it was extremely handy.
Embedded?! Like inside, under a layer? Or tucked in a divot?
Yeah, inside the case, under a layer. I printed the PLA layers, paused the print to insert the magnets and change to TPU filament, then resumed.
I had to extend a bump outside of the case a bit to accommodate the depth, but the bump worked nicely as a coping to seat the phone tightly in the mount so it didn’t come loose with e.g. road bumps in the car.
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
That’s kinda crazy. HTC stopped making phones then kinda sorta started again but not in the US
Happy Cake Day!
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.
