Lenovo is a big name when it comes to laptops, but the brand is not exactly known for its smartphones. The company does manufacture gaming phones under its Legion PC brand, but they are limited to China. However, it seems the Chinese OEM is getting serious about smartphones and is planning to launch a new ThinkPhone handset. The Lenovo smartphone might launch very soon, as it has bagged China’s 3C certification.

Lenovo’s ThinkPhone recently appeared on China’s compulsory 3C certification site with model number XT2309-1. The listing revealed the handset will arrive with a 68W charger. Interestingly, the 3C listing shows that the device will be manufactured by Motorola. For those who don’t know, Motorola is owned by Lenovo.

Model number XT2309-1 is also said to be associated with a Motorola smartphone codenamed “Bronco.” It will likely debut as part of the next Edge series. This suggests the phone may launch in two versions, one sold as a Motorola device and the other as a Lenovo phone.

A recent report shared a design render of the Lenovo ThinkPhone. The image shows the device has “ThinkPhone” branding on the bottom right corner of the rear panel. The handset features a rectangular camera module, which houses three cameras and an LED flash. This is likely an early render of Lenovo’s ThinkPhone, so the design may change in the future.

Previously, it was revealed that Motorola Bronco could arrive with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, an FHD+ resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, and up to 12GB of RAM. The handset could have a 50-megapixel primary camera paired with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a macro or 2-megapixel depth sensor. If the ThinkPhone is indeed a rebranded Motorola phone, we can expect it to feature these specs.
