Motorola’s Lenovo ThinkPhone is here, and it’s just what it sounds like: a Motorola-made smartphone that looks like a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

The ThinkPhone is built around a 6.6-inch OLED display with 2400x1080px resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The screen also offers HDR10+ support.

Inside, there’s a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and you can choose from 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage.

You can have the ThinkPhone in any color as long as it’s Carbon Black, but make no mistake: This isn’t your ordinary, everyday black phone. For starters, get a special customizable red key to perform different tasks: open the Walkie Talkie app through Microsoft Teams or open a company or field app. The back panel is designed with a lightweight aramid fiber (supposedly stronger than steel), while the frame is aircraft-grade aluminum. The front is covered in Gorilla Glass Victus. The back is finished with a special ThinkPhone logo.

The ThinkPhone is also IP68 and MIL-STD 810H certified, so it will withstand a drop of up to 1.25 meters and a swim of up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.

Motorola’s Lenovo ThinkPhone (try to say that three times faster) has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. You get the necessary wired charger in the box.

As for the camera, the Lenovo ThinkPhone has a 50 MP f/1.8 main camera that splits pixels four by one to get 2.0 μm pixels. This camera has both PDAF and OIS. Next to it is a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide with Macro Vision. At the other end, there’s a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus.

The ThinkPhone is more than just a branding exercise. It offers true integration with Lenovo’s ThinkPad laptops, including Think 2 Think connectivity, based on Motorola’s Ready For. It allows you to sync your ThinkPhone with your ThinkPad and transfer copied text, photos, documents as well as drag and drop files, share notifications, use your phone as a webcam and open any Android app on your Windows laptop screen.

The ThinkPhone will come with Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams apps preloaded.

Moto KeySafe is a separate processor that adds a layer of security: it will keep PINs and passwords, cryptographic keys and other sensitive data in a tamper-proof environment.

Finally, Moto OEMConfig or Moto Device Manager will allow IT administrators to remotely configure the Lenovo ThinkPhone for enterprise customers.

Motorola’s Lenovo ThinkPhone will arrive in the US, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Australia and select Asian countries in the coming months. Lenovo hasn’t revealed the price yet, but since it’s meant to be a B2B device, don’t expect to find it at your local electronics store.
