A new report has just revealed interesting information regarding future plans of Lenovo for the smartphone market. The company could be planning on launching a new ThinkPhone handset, which might just be a rebranded Motorola Bronco model.

For those unaware, Lenovo acquired Motorola years ago and was initially planning on integrating the latter’s smartphone lineup into its own new smartphones. However, owing to the popularity of Moto branded phones, the Chinese consumer electronics maker decided to retain Motorola as a separate smartphone brand. So as Lenovo targeted the PC market, Motorola would focus on smaller screen devices like smartphones. But a new report has suggested that the Motorola Bronco might also launch with its parent company’s branding as well.

As per a 91Mobiles report, the Bronco was spotted along with its Lenovo variant carrying the same XT-2309 model number. In leaked images, we can see blurry renders of a handset that carries the iconic ThinkPad branding. Although, on closer inspection, it appears to have ThinkPhone etched onto the bottom right corner of the rear panel. Keep in mind that these are likely some early renders or renditions of the ThinkPhone, so it’s entirely possible that Lenovo makes some changes to its overall design.

Notably, a previous road map has revealed key details that might be seen in the Motorola Bronco model, which is set to be a flagship phone. This includes a top end Qualcomm processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), FHD+ resolution with 165Hz refresh rate, up to 12GB of RAM, 50 megapixel rear cameras that might be paired with another 13 megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a macro or 2 megapixel depth shooter as well. The front would house a 16 megapixel selfie camera. So, if the Bronco is planned for a rebrand for the ThinkPhone, we can expect to see these high end specs.
