Pros and Cons

Motorola ThinkPhone

Strengths

The clean software and business-oriented features make it tailored more toward a corporate audience, but the ThinkPad aesthetic and durability might attract fans of the brand.
The think phone brings up premium smartphone experience except for the main camera which feels like more of an afterthought.
Durable design with Kevlar back and IP68 water resistance, making it perfect for business use cases.
Large 5,000 mAh battery provides good battery life, lasting up to 168 hours in our tests.
Fast charging capabilities with a bundled 68W charger that can charge the phone from 0 to 86% in half an hour.
The display is plenty sharp and contrasty, supporting 10bit color and Hr10+ for good color accuracy.

Weaknesses

For a flagship price, it's hard to recommend the think phone to your average consumer, especially considering its limited appeal.
Main camera performance is not great in low light conditions, with blurry soft and dark details, although night mode can sometimes improve it.
The ultra-wide cam uses night mode processing more often than the main Cam, resulting in decent shots but inconsistent quality.
The 50MP main cam's finer details are a bit soft when looked at too closely, textures and foliage may look artificial
Portraits taken with the main cam have nice subject separation and background blur, but skin textures can come out too smooth.
The main camera doesn't perform well in night mode, resulting in blurry, dark photos without automatic night mode kicking in.

Weaknesses

The phone may not be suitable for heavy gaming due to its average gaming performance.
The frame of the phone is made of plastic and has no antenna lines, which might affect the phone's durability.
The fingerprint sensor is placed quite low on the phone, making it slightly inconvenient to access.
The chin of the phone is slightly larger, affecting its overall aesthetic appeal.
The phone's average frame rate dropped to 37.6 FPS after playing a heavy game for 30 minutes at high quality settings with 60 FPS.
