Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola, a phone designed for business users, is getting two new features thanks to a partnership with Microsoft. The two companies have teamed up to bring ThinkPhone users Windows 365 and Teams Walkie Talkie functionality.
Windows 365 is a cloud-based version of Windows that allows users to access their work files and applications from anywhere. That means, with Windows 365 now available on ThinkPhone, users access a full-fledged Windows Cloud PC directly on their phone.
You can also stream the Cloud PC experience to a larger display, keyboard, and mouse using Moto Connect. This integration will help IT administrators reduce costs by provisioning only ThinkPhone devices and displays to employees, along with a Windows 365 license. In the upcoming weeks, Motorola says that the Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola will be able to access Windows 365 support via Moto Connect.
Moreover, Motorola has expanded the functionality of the ThinkPhone’s Red Key button to include integration with the Walkie Talkie app in Microsoft Teams. Now, pressing the Red Key will enable the phone’s push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities, so users can quickly start a conversation with just one click. This new feature will also be available in the coming weeks.
ThinkPhone’s two new features will be a boon for business customers. However, it’s important to note that both features require users to have specific accounts or subscriptions. Windows 365 support requires a Windows 365 cloud subscription, while Teams Walkie Talkie only requires a free Microsoft Teams account.
