Motorola ThinkPhone Review // The Best Motorola Phone in Years!

The Motorola ThinkPhone is a high quality phone built on security, business, and control, but it also offers great power, all day battery life and surprisingly good cameras, all at the great price of $699! I've been really impressed with the ThinkPhone, It's a susprisingly good phone from Motorola that also offers a lot when it comes to phone and laptop connectivity as well, making the ThinkPhone really special.

Just bought one straight from motorola's website last night for $399, shipping was free & will be here tomorrow morning. I chose this over the Motorola Edge + & Samsung S23 FE. Has everything I want/need & nothing that I don't want/need. Running Snapdragon too, it was a no-brainer. Great battery & charging. Military grade durability, awesome security, NO ALEXA!!! Ease of use when it comes to opening the flashlight or camera, screenshots & screen recording, and even a programmable red button on the side. Perfect phone, everyone should get one. Motorola is onto something here.

The best part about the ThinkPhone is that ir is a rugged phone. We need more rugged flagships.

I'm trading my Pixel 7 phone in for this guy. Looks like a terrific phone, especially at its current $399 price!

Glad to see Motorola stepping up their game on updates. I've been daily driving a Motorola One 5g UW Ace for a few weeks and was surprised to see it get a 2nd OS update to Android 12. I didn't expect it to go past Android 11 with Motorola's previous track record. I hope they continue this trend

A rugged flagship level enterprise directed Moto with a 68 watt charger in the box! I have to investigate more about this mythical creature.

This looks like a very nice phone. Truthfully, I think the best part about it is that armored fiber back. This is a rugged phone that does not look like a boxy rugged phone. In fact, this is a really good looking device. In addition, there is a lot of functionality here. Although, I really wish it had dual SIM card ability in the United States variant. Playing devil's advocate, I haven't had really great luck with Motorola and updates. I really hope they support this device. Honestly, if I hadn't already purchased a oneplus 11 a few months ago then this would definitely be on my radar.

Thank you for a great review. I recently bought the ThinkPhone, and so far, I am quite happy with it. What I appreciate most at the moment is the lack of all the un-installable crapware that I had on my Samsung phone, and the need to register for a "Samsung Account" so they could hose up my Google contacts (because the Galaxy S phone client won't connect to Google Contacts to give you contacts search - you have to duplicate your contacts in the Samsung account, which causes all kinds of problems with maintaining your Google contacts database)

Anyway the ThinkPhone is fast, smooth, with a clean native launcher and very good battery life. It has the native Android app launcher, which is clean, fast and usable, but I've run the Nova launcher for years so I can switch phone brands without having to deal with the quirks and learning curve of brand-proprietary launchers like Samsung's mediocre OneUI or the OnePlus (Oppo) UI.

I don't get the negative reviews because this was marketed as a "business phone". I suppose it's because it doesn't come with a bunch of social media apps pre-installed (which to me is a big plus). But it's a powerful Android 13 device - I can install anything I need. My biggest "meh" is with the cameras. Not outstanding in low light. But for the $550 price on recent promotions, it's a heck of a phone, especially given it has 256Gb of storage, the carbon fibre case, IP68 & MIL 810H rugged certifications, and solid security and PC (Windows) connection enhancements.

When comparing prices, be sure you're using apples to apples specs, especially since most prices you see for phones are for only 128Gb of storage.

It reminds me of the old dtek blackberry phones. Definitely has my attention

I'm watching your video right now on the thinkphone. It's absolutely amazing. I love the flagship specs crammed into the square metal body. My complaints are that the speakerphone is not as loud as it should be. Also the auxiliary button has limited functionality. The single press for pause/play isn't reliable. The double press can't be used to launch apps and is only good for computers. It would be good if you had a long press option. Also I can't launch Google assistant with a double press of the power button. Other than that it's really good

Thanks for bringing this one for us. I own a Pixel 7 but I always loved the good Motorola phones.

[cvtechreview]

Dang it man... Now you got me wanting a ThinkPhone lol. Like I need any more smartphones.

[kaceygolden]

Bought this phone because of your review and love it! Parked my Pixel 7 and this is my daily driver now. Impressed like you said 👍

[SheilaHensley]

This surprises me. I had Moto uears ago
Loved it? Thanks, Adam.

[LoboWarriorForever]

Would you recommend this phone over the Edge+ (2023)?

[azmedz]

I still love my Lenovo t480. Basically I sold my late model Hewlett-Packard elitebook because I love my older t480. Dual batteries hot-swappable and I have a big boy extended battery which was really cool for my train trip.

Got a Motorola 5g two years ago, now it freezes on video apps and I have to restart it all the time. Piece of crap.

[ow]

Motorola Thinkphone should've had expandable storage!!😢

[dons]

I THINK they are cheaper now... I've seen on Amazon for $399

[ccroy]

I think my next phone might be a Motorola, I want something with a desktop mode, Pixels (I'm on my 2nd) currently don't support video out as far as I know., at least the A series. I also happened to get a ThinkPad Nano on a good sale so Probably a ThinkPhone 2024, or an Edge, either looks nice.

[LOUISVILLECARDINALS]

Wish this device was at carriers would definitely upgrade to this
