It operates and works like any other Motorola Android phone and the business-oriented features that are there are never pushed. No, and in fact, if I didn’t know about the ThinkPhone’s business aspirations, I’d never have guessed.

If the Motorola ThinkPhone was originally conceived as a business phone, does this mean it’s full of business tools and apps that will be irrelevant to you?

Motorola ThinkPhone: software Andy Boxall/DigitalTrends It leaves the ThinkPhone in a no man’s land, where the design is not really appealing to anyone.
It’s an odd middle ground, where the nostalgic design isn’t quite impactful enough for consumers and probably inconsequential to businesses. Tying it into the famed IBM ThinkPad brand is fun, but I’d be surprised if any businesses cared about nostalgia when putting together a bulk order of dozens, perhaps hundreds of new phones. What did strike me is that although it’s a bit simple for consumers, it’s perhaps a bit over-the-top for the business world. The few design nods to the ThinkPad are cool, but it’s not a visual competitor to the OnePlus 11, the Samsung Galaxy S23, or the Google Pixel 7 Pro. The low weight and sensible dimensions mean it’s never fatiguing to hold. I’ve found the ThinkPhone to be an excellent everyday device it’s barely noticeable in your bag or pocket, and the choice of materials means it doesn’t slide around on a table. This is built for spreadsheets and important calls - not Fortnite and tweeting, remember. The flat screen eschews the frivolousness of a curved screen that we expect to see on a flagship device. The red button can be programmed to activate different functions, and by default, it’s linked to Motorola’s Ready For feature, where the phone can be connected to a PC or monitor. The ThinkPhone weighs 189 grams and has an IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating, so all of this combined means it should prove very durable. It’s soft, warm, and grippy, and the slim 8mm chassis is easy and comfortable to hold. The flat-sided chassis is made of aluminum, while the rear panel is aramid fiber,which is the same material as Kevlar and makes it strong and light. The foldable Motorola Razr makes big phones less of a handful This leaked Motorola phone looks like the foldable of my dreams It’s a good-looking phone, and I love the carbon-like rear panel, an effect that continues into the camera module. For example, take a look at the red button on the side that evokes the red track button in the center of the keyboard on a ThinkPad, along with the font used for the angled ThinkPhone logo on the back. Motorola has borrowed several design elements for the phone from those well-known laptops that are popular with business types. The ThinkPhone name ties the phone in with the famous IBM ThinkPad laptops (a brand that Motorola’s owner, Lenovo, also owns), and its release coincides with the 30th anniversary of the ThinkPad name. Motorola ThinkPhone: design Andy Boxall/Digital Trends But does the original business-focused sales pitch mean it’s not worth buying if you just want it for social media and selfies? I’ve found out. If you saw it at the time and were disappointed about not being able to own one, Motorola has since done a U-turn and said you and I can purchase it directly, whether we want it for business purposes or not.
