The Trump Mobile T1 benchmark scores are disappointing

The Trump Mobile T1 phone has finally gone through benchmark testing, and the results don’t exactly match the hype surrounding its delayed launch. Courtesy of CNET, the phone ran a series of standard industry benchmarks, and it doesn’t exactly scream flagship.

On paper, the T1 runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series chip, most likely the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. And in real-world performance tests, CNET found that the numbers land closer to Android flagships from around five years ago. 

In some cases, the benchmark results even resemble older HTC devices so closely that the report suggests the phone may be based on an HTC U24 Pro 5G design with a new exterior.

The Trump T1 handles basic tasks fine, and just that

As for everyday chores, the report claims the phone is just about fine for basic tasks like web browsing and video streaming, but it struggles to keep up with current mid-range phones in 2026. 

The single-core and multi-core performance trails behind newer devices from Google, Samsung, and Apple, and graphics performance is even further behind. Below are the benchmark scores against several new and old phones.

Design-wise, the T1 comes in a gold-colored body with a US flag-inspired back. Although, oddly, it only features 11 stripes instead of the standard 13. The software side is handled by Android 15 with minimal extra apps or heavy customization.

The back of the phone includes a triple rear setup led by a 50MP main sensor, 2x optical zoom, and up to 30x digital zoom. It has a 5000mAh battery with 30W charging support.
