The ThinkPhone Gets Two new Features Through Collaboration Between Motorola And Microsoft

Lenovo’s ThinkPhone by Motorola, one of our Best of CES 2023 winners, is a smartphone tailored for business users that made its official debut on the market in April 2023.

Today, the ThinkPhone is receiving productivity upgrades through collaboration between Motorola and Microsoft. This smartphone gains enhanced features catering to remote work scenarios. It integrates seamlessly with Windows 365 cloud capabilities, allowing users to harness the power of Microsoft’s cloud services on the go. Through a USB-C connection and Bluetooth accessories, ThinkPhone users can extend their phone’s functionality to a larger display and peripherals, essentially carrying a portable cloud PC.

The main camera module features a 50P primary camera with PDAF and OIS for sharp and stable shots combined with a 13MP ultrawide secondary shooter. The 32MP front-facing camera, equipped with autofocus, ensures high-quality selfies and video calls. Additionally, the ThinkPhone is future-ready with support for 5G, LTE, 3G, and 2G networks, along with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6E), Bluetooth 5.3, and GPS connectivity.
