During CES 2023, Lenovo finally announced the laptop-inspired Thinkphone by Motorola. The rugged smartphone packs a powerful chipset and comes with a military-grade rating. The phone is reported to be sold only to B2B clients, which is definitely a bummer for those who were eager to try it. However, a popular tipster has claimed that the Thinkphone will also be available for non-business customers in some countries. Here are the details.
Roland Quant says the Thinkphone by Motorola will be sold to non-business consumers as well. However, only folks in “certain” countries would be able to get their hands on the smartphone. Quant didn’t mention the name of the countries or the stores but revealed that the 8/256GB version of the handset will be priced at €999 ($1,080). Apparently, it will be available for purchase by the end of this month.
To recall, the ThinkPhone by Motorola has a rugged design with an aramid fiber-made back panel and aircraft-grade aluminum frames. There’s Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the front.
It comes with a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 2400x1080px resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The handset is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, which is very capable. The processor is paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage.
The handset packs a 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. It’s MIL-STD 810H and IP68 certified and packs a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus. On the back, there’s a 50MP f/1.8 main camera with both PDAF and OIS accompanied by a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide with Macro Vision. The smartphone features various interconnectivity features as well.
