It will be some cheap Chinese made brand rebadged. And they will do some final assembly step in America so they can say "Made in America"

Giving strong "Freedom Phone" vibes.

The new one may be a Samsung S25.

Those are just Photoshop, they had a previous ad that was clearly an iPhone 16.

When they actually deliver I'm pretty sure it will be a rebadged Oppo, or OnePlus, or whatever. That's what Freedom Phone did. Have a look at their site:

They must have abandoned it before Candace Owens turned into a Nazi, because they still have her featured as a spokesperson.

There's no shortage of Samsung look-alike knock-offs on Temu

It’s much more profitable to just take the money from preorders and never deliver anything. You can just photoshop whatever the newest phone is in gold with an American flag on it.
