Got this phone about a week ago. To replace my aging Motorola G7 play. I'm very pleased. Setting it up was really easy. Used the cable that came in the box for the charger. To connect to my old phone. Transfered most everything over. I had a SD memory card in my old phone. The think phone doesn't have that. But, it has 256 GB of memory. I purchased a adapter that the SD card goes in. It has a short cord that plugs into the charging port. I could then transfer everything in folders on the Think phone. After transferring everything. I used 41 GB of the 256 GB memory. That includes the operating systems for the phone. I can't imagine using all the 215GB thats left. Next i swapped the SIM card from my old phone. Bingo! I was up and running. Over the next few days the phone updated several times. Including getting Android 14. The Think phone is lightening fast! Not sure if it's because it's a 5G phone or the processor, Etc. But everything is pretty much instantaneous! Moving around the net. Loading files. Just like you would want it to be. If your considering it. I believe you'll be pleased!!
Nice review. I've had it since December and its a very smooth operator. I44hz refresh rate is nice. Cons No always on display No second space No IR blaster Subpar haptics Camera isn't as sharp as my pixel 7 but its adequate. Night shots are actually pretty good as are ultrawide shots. The 2x digital zoom can be very grainy and is the weakest link. You can't get a better phone for under $400 This thing handles games with no issues unlike the pixel 7. My favorite features though have been the ANTIFLICKER, night light, and extra dimming features. Really reduces eye strain while watching at night. Fast charging is life changing and most people in the US have no idea what they're missing. Thinkphone is a beast. I bought 3 of them during the holidays and everyone loves it. Additionally it has absolutely zero bezels. I mean seriously this phone is all screen
Just got mine after seeing the $399 price! Great phone, but after sitting in a box for some time the battery was at zero % and after plugging it in, it did not show a charge above zero even after 20 min of charging. Worried the phone was bricked. Unplugged it and plugged it back in and then is showed a charge. What a great phone. Too bad they marketed it wrong to only business customers. What an awesome device though. Been using it for a week and completely satisfied.
Ordered mine today from Amazon. Seems like the perfect answer to OnePlus (in regards to the fast charging and processing power) camera looks like it'll leave a little to be desired, but ask me how often I use my camera. It isn't very often
Great informative video Mike! Appreciate this! Looks like it should be a decent phone! I’ll have to look up Motorola’s website for this phone! Appreciate you sharing this with us! Happy Sunday! Mark in Iowa.
I got this phone through Lenovo last year for 500. Great phone, great design, fast, and perfect screen size in the hand. Just had a bad mic when recording so I sent it in and never got it back... It was my fault I put the wrong label on it. Wish I had it now :/
The back of the phone is Kevlar (Aramid Fiber) and meets mil specs for drop resistance. I've been using it without a case, carry it in my pocket with other things, and have dropped it and it still looks like it just came out of the box. The back does get smeared from hand oils, but a quick wipe (even on my shirt - LOL) and they come right off.
@@BudgeTechReviews Yes, I looked for it in the play store, but I don't see it. It should not be available for this sector of the planet😅(sorry for my English)
359.99 is what I paid through Motorola in December,I use this more than my 14 pro max battery life is fantastic I was at 51 % with 4-1/2 hours of sot today I’m on the February security patch.
This phone is awesome, I would push anyone to get it, I love it, and unlike all my other Motorolas this one has been getting monthly updates with Android 14 incoming.
This phone is for everyone, it was essentially for businesses and was not going to get released to the public but plans changed for the good if you asked me since we the public was able to get out hands on this device.
@@nikos-giorgos what part... This phone originally wasn't going to be released to the public but for only companies and larger corporations, this phone was not intended to be released for sale to every one. There are still some functions on this phone that I cannot use because I have to have certain licenses from a corporation standpoint with Microsoft.
It's coming my Motorola edge plus 2023 just received it, now I'm waiting on my Thinkphone to get it, and this phone has been getting monthly updates which is totally different on how they do their other phones.
This phone came out last yea actually, so far i would say yes it is geared for people who possibly work from home or on the go. I am going to try and demonstrate that in another video.
The bigger the screen the better. I would love to have a fold but they are a rip-off. I have a hard time justifying more than 1500 to 2,000 on a cell phone that I'll probably only use for 2 years. When you work it out, mathematically LOTS of people are paying more for your cell phone then an 8K 100' OLED TV. Think about it. $1,000 per year on a cell phone VS $5000 for a TV that lasts you 5 years. *OR* $4/day on a Starbucks coffee = $3000 over 2 years.
@@BudgeTechReviews yes, it's the small lifestyle things that really add up over time. When I want something like a new gaming PC/console or other perchase, I just buy because I've saved all year by staying away from the daily lifestyle purchases. Thank you for the link. I've got one. I like it, but the screen is always turning on when locked for some reason.

It's Aramid Fiber on the back, not just plastic.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the phone!
I've had this phone for 4 months and LOVE it! Build quality is superior over any other phone in my opinion.
It's hard to beat for the price
Nice review.
I've had it since December and its a very smooth operator. I44hz refresh rate is nice.
Cons
No always on display
No second space
No IR blaster
Subpar haptics

Thanks for your feedback! I'm still enjoying the phone it has basically become my backup device.

This phone actually was available to the masses in May of 23, I have purchased 2 of them it is one of my favorite devices of last year and this year.
So far only had it a few days and I love it!
It just a great phone not just a business phone .
I returned my Bell Pixel 8 Pro to buy the Think Phone a few month ago.
Great informative video Mike! Appreciate this! Looks like it should be a decent phone! I’ll have to look up Motorola’s website for this phone! Appreciate you sharing this with us! Happy Sunday! Mark in Iowa.
Don't forget my affiliate link it helps out the channel! Motorola and amazon have this for the dame price currently.
@@BudgeTechReviews Okay thank you Mike. I was trying to click the link but it kept failing to load the website. Mark.
@marksmith4582 weird it loads for me! Send me a DM on X I'll get you the link

It's drop resistant, so it won't be easy to break but it's not scratch resistant.
Excellent review! Where do you get that wallpaper? In another video I saw that you have the same one but in green?
If your referring to the pixel dot wallpaper I got it in the play store.
@@BudgeTechReviews Yes, I looked for it in the play store, but I don't see it. It should not be available for this sector of the planet😅(sorry for my English)
@guilletrecco4798 try searching nexus live wallpaper
@@BudgeTechReviews Thanks for your time Mike👍🏼
Thanks for checking out my videos 😇
What's your background from?
Make a video of the cloud PC feature of this phone
Great phone. Works with visible wireless which is owned by Verizon
359.99 is what I paid through Motorola in December,I use this more than my 14 pro max battery life is fantastic I was at 51 % with 4-1/2 hours of sot today I’m on the February security patch.
Mine just updated to the most recent security patch as well! So far battery life is great!
So is this geared more for the business involved Individual ? That's my impression.

Yeah, right.
Hi does it come with a stylus?
Unfortunately no
Excellent device, been using it for about a month or so and so far works great, Motorola software works very smooth with the 8 Gen 1 chip. Recommended
Make a video when this smartphone get Android 14 update
I definitely will! Thanks for checking it out smash the like button 😇
It's coming my Motorola edge plus 2023 just received it, now I'm waiting on my Thinkphone to get it, and this phone has been getting monthly updates which is totally different on how they do their other phones.
So this is another new mid-priced phone with oled screen?
This phone came out last yea actually, so far i would say yes it is geared for people who possibly work from home or on the go. I am going to try and demonstrate that in another video.
This has a snapdragon 8 gen 1 so I would not consider this midrange
@@BudgeTechReviews okay,good to know.I may possibly try it.
@@BudgeTechReviews that'd be great if you do.
It's a fantastic phone the network and wifi signals are awesome, it's plenty fast and light love it had for 1 months so far.
No eSim, No VoNR.
how is this a "flagship" level phone?
you can't even make a phone call on 5g !
The bigger the screen the better. I would love to have a fold but they are a rip-off.
I have a hard time justifying more than 1500 to 2,000 on a cell phone that I'll probably only use for 2 years.

Think about it. $1,000 per year on a cell phone VS $5000 for a TV that lasts you 5 years.
*OR*
$4/day on a Starbucks coffee = $3000 over 2 years.
Nice break down! This phone is still under $400 on Amazon! Link in description 🤓

Thank you for the link. I've got one. I like it, but the screen is always turning on when locked for some reason.
Dude says milstd isn't flagship build quality.
No eSim, No VoNR. what good is milspec when you cant even make a 5g phone call?
@@paulmitchell4421 why would u waste battery on a 5g phone call
It WAS a great phone. The android 14 update screwed it up. Moto’s UI can never keep up with software updates.
In what way?
cut your fingernails because they are long.
