You've seen the ThinkPad, now there's a ThinkPhone!

This is just a regular Motorola phone with a new back.

It's not a TrackPoint, but the "Red Key" will act as an additional programmable button.

The committee's definitively named "Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola" is finally hitting the shelves of virtual stores. The phone was announced in January as a surprise extension of the "ThinkPad" brand, and while there are probably plenty of ideas you could come up with for a business-focused smartphone, the ThinkPhone appears to be just a Motorola phone. ordinary without much in the way of unique features.
It's going to be for sale, though! Lenovo announced the phone will be in the US this week for $699. Business customers can order the device now, and starting April 28, it should be available unlocked on Motorola.com.
The SoC is last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 instead of the Gen 2 found in most flagship phones. The display is a 6.6-inch, 2400×1080 OLED running at just 60Hz, instead of the higher refresh rate most phones use today. I guess you could call 60Hz "professional" because that will stretch the 5000mAh battery a bit longer. The phone has 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. There is an in-screen fingerprint reader, NFC, IP68 dust and water resistance and Wi-Fi 6E compatibility.
The main unique hardware feature is the red side button, which is just a programmable action key. The back of the phone is also woven Kevlar, and while I wouldn't call the ThinkPhone particularly "durable" since the front of the phone is still glass, that's something.
Motorola (or Lenovo, whoever's in charge here) is a nightmare when it comes to Android updates, usually taking its time getting anything to market. The company promises three years of major Android version updates and four years of security updates, but you shouldn't expect that to happen quickly.
