the camera is superb 😱 but the price is too much 😓
Excellent all-round review, thanks Will! Now holds the top slot in the "Nice but Pricey" category. Can't help thinking about all those Corporate types WITH EXACTLY THE SAME Device – that won't go down well in competitive circles! Black Razr23 instead?
Man I love ThinkPads but I can't see myself purchasing a Motorola phone given the software support
It's all lenovo not motorola
Thanks for the review.
We need a review of the Realme GT 3/Neo 5 240W.
Worst flagship phone!
Quick question, does the GSMArena website shows real and legit website to AliExpress where you can order the phone you officially review?
Please do the Tecno spark 10 pro
what happened to ur voice, seems not right. Take care…
ROG vs Thinkpad
it's like a global version of Lenovo Legion Y70 phone. same specs. but the huge difference is the price. the legion y70 only starts at 400$ with a 8/128 variant.
Reads comment, 2 years of support, 1100 euros. Closes video
Regardless of the actual phone, ThinkPhone is a great name, and Lenovo/Motorola should use their Laptop name schemes for most phones. They can make a ThinkPhone (Light/Pro/Ultra) for flagship. IdeaPhone for budget-midrange. And maybe YogaPhone for flip/fold phones.
why always tests in 4k 30 fps?not 60fps?
This would've been mediocre in 2022, let alone 2023
Looks like a major flop to me. Sheesh Motorola. You guys were my first basic phone.
Just get the latest ultra or the pro max instead of this
First nothing phone and now think phone, and later, there will be also called something phone and this will be go on in the future. nice job🎉
Nothing phone 1 is 100x time better then this bull 💩
i bought Motorola ( edge 20 pro) because gsm arena's review is quite good and impressive but the actual mobile is worse than all of the devices i had before, camera are all worst of all.
Its less than an Moto 30 fusion but a new chip. Disappointing.
Just a waste of money. It is just like an ordinary Android mobile with Think LOGO.
Am I the only one who doesn't love the music you guys use for the sound tests?
Excellent
Lets spend some hard earned money!!! Yaay.
1k? Is this a joke?
With that price it's a big no. They rely on the ThinkPad logo but let's be honest specs are not that great and camera is crap
Hardcore business professionals don’t waste their time taking photos, so potato cams for them. Think on that! 😂
8Gen1 kills the value IMO
I think I'm Ok keeping my S22+
Wish they also made a midrange device:
1. Midrange Chipset instead of a flagship one (e.g. SD 778G or MT Dimensity 8100)
2. Lower IP rating (say IP56)
3. Gorilla glass 5 or 4
4. Headphone jack
5. Mono speaker
6. Priced between USD300-500
Yeah no
Can you tell me what a sensor camera to use Motorola?
Ah, so Motorola can produce phones with IP68 level protection… 🤔
Disappointed.
For a ThinkPad inspired phone, I would expect no compromise, but no SD, Bad cameras, headphone jack.
I want this phone to be the new Blackberry.
Maybe I will take a look when the price will be below 600€…
They should have just relaunched droid
Sir can you make camera review honor x9a..
