    I currently have this device and it is awesome it gets timely updates and I recently just picked up the new Moto 2024 edge which is very similar except it's got the curved screen along with the same 68 w turbo charging capability

    Lenovo owns both the Thinkpad and the Motorola company. Thus, making this weird collab between these subsidiaries of Lenovo possible.

    I don't like the shenanigans google/alphabet have been up to so I think I'm done with Pixel phones and google products in general. I think my next phone will be a Moto, either thinkphone or Edge + in 2024. Great video BTW.

    So after watching your review would you say that the think phone is on par with a galaxy 24 not the ultrs but the 24 or the apple 14 based upon price point. Keep in mind what those other devices clst new and on the secondary market. Not everyone has 1k or more to purchase a device. Me personally i should have never sold my V60 or i wluld still be rocking that phone here in 2025 look forward to the response

    Small correction. The chipset in the Lenovo ThinkPhone has a Snapdragon 8(+) Gen 1. Still, for someone who hates android with every fiber of my being I couldn’t help but to pick this phone up. Trust me, that phone doesn’t need a case on it. It’s a beast. Cameras are still slightly above average but the 144Hz refresh rate (which is about a 120Hz when compared with Apple’s ProMotion display) still, it’ll also receive more frequent updates from Android OS 13 up until Android 16 (3) full years of software updates (which is insane considering the extremely sorry and painfully inconsistent update line of the past E and G series devices) which only (maybe) gives you a single software update with (maybe) 3 years of security patches that may or may not arrive two months after initial release. This device also doesn’t have (nearly) as much bloatware apps preinstalled in the UI. But it wasn’t enough to get me to switch from Apple. So I’ll be selling mine. It is the best android device I’ve ever owned in.. ever. Only trade off is the mediocre camera quality.

      @@daydrapinder I’ll take $300 right now if that sounds good to you. If you need me to take pictures or record any videos to show you the condition, everything that’s included and show you that it’s a new device then I don’t mind at all. I have a fb marketplace business and I’m also a former employee at Apple, metro by T-Mobile and Verizon and I care about customer service and satisfaction and I take it very seriously. I’ve got an 4.8 out of 5 star review with 27 reviews and I sell new, like new and A+ to B grade devices and I will not sell anything that I wouldn’t use. I just don’t trust Amazon with returning such a high price product, especially when they won’t allow me to use the Kohl’s drop off and make me use UPS, which could get “lost or stolen” on the way back to the warehouse. I’ve been there and done that. I also have a family health crisis that I’m in desperate need of raising money for at the moment. I always include an extra item for every purchase as my way of showing my appreciation and gratitude for the support and help that you’re providing. Even if I don’t make a profit, which I don’t normally, and if I do it’s no more than maybe 4% but meta is getting greedy and have raised the fees to ship using their services from 4.5% to I believe 11% of every item sold and shipped via marketplace. I’m sorry for the late reply and if you would like me to give you my marketplace information and the content creator is okay with it then I’ll be happy to do so.

    With HTC and LG out of the game, I switched to Motorola, and I love it. So much bang for your buck.
    I want this phone SO BADLY, but I just know the Edge Plus 2023 is going to drop to half price this Summer as the 2022 Plus did last year when I bought that phone, so I just need to wait a few more months.
    I love my Plus 2022, but it's the most fragile phone I have ever owned, and I was forced to put a case on it (I never used a case on my HTCs or LGs), and the Thinkphone's supposed "ruggedness" is another reason why I want to buy one so badly.
    But, I most likely will just say "Fuck it" and buy the Thinkphone anyway, and then turn around and buy the Plus 2023 this Summer if/when it's half off.

      Unfortunately there won't be a gen 2 of the think phone. Going to either buy the think phone or the nothing phone 2a next month. The think for has to be the best bang for your buck for phones 400 besides getting a deal on either razr. That sd7gen1 is snappy and smooth operating with 8gb of ram.
