Lenovo is getting serious about smartphones and considering expanding its ThinkPad branding to smartphones with the introduction of the Lenovo ThinkPhone. According to leaked information from Evan Blass, the ThinkPhone is rumored to contain high-end hardware and may be the sibling of a Motorola Edge 40 series model.

Lenovo ThinkPhone: A new high-end smartphone rumored to be launching in 2023

The ThinkPhone has been revealed in a pre-release marketing render, which shows a smartphone with three rear-facing cameras set within a curved back panel. The device also has a flat display with a centered punch-hole front-facing camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The appearance of the latter suggests that the ThinkPhone has an AMOLED or OLED display, rather than an IPS one. The display is rumored to have a 1080p resolution and will be joined by up to 12 GB of RAM, as well as a 50 MP primary, 13 MP ultra-wide-angle, 2 MP depth, and 16 MP front-facing camera setup.

It is worth noting that while Evan Blass claims that the ThinkPhone is “almost certainly” a member of the Edge series, there is a chance that it and its Motorola equivalent could arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, rather than the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 as previously suggested.

Currently, Lenovo is expected to unveil the ThinkPhone in 2023. It remains to be seen in which markets the device will be available, though it is likely to be offered in a range of countries given Lenovo’s global presence.

Overall, the Lenovo ThinkPhone looks like it will be a formidable smartphone with high-end hardware and a range of impressive camera and display features. If it does indeed launch under the ThinkPad branding, it will be interesting to see how the device is received by consumers and whether it can compete with other smartphones in the market. We will have to wait until 2023 to find out more about the ThinkPhone and its availability.
