Motorola ThinkPhone Review: Is It Worth It?

[@Nberqwrt]

By far the most underrated phone 2024.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Absolutely

[@FM-fm2yq]

You don't need that much ram.. It has really fast ram! This is truly an amazing phone. Snapdragon 8+gen1 has very good memory management

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Yes there's no slow downs at all

[@MichaelWeeks-ox5ep]

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

[@JuleonTechReviews]

That's dope

[@oriaker]

SD 8 gen 1 plus (like the gen 1 but without the overheating issues)

[@FM-fm2yq]

@@oriaker also much better battery efficiency and subtain performance

[@SabinTV-NP]

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

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Thanks that's right.

[@JuleonBarnes-m8m]

Never thought I would have so much fun in watching this

[@jwhite6597]

These are good reviews and videos

[@JuleonBarnes-t8x]

I think it's about time for me to get a Motorola edge Plus this is an 😊 amazing phone

[@RJ_Uploads]

The edge plus is awesome, I have both.

[@JuleonBarnes]

Im getting one of these

[@gallienus172]

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.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

I feel ya. I think I will look out for the edge + 2024 as well. Thanks

[@JuleonTechReviews]

@CinHalCedHerChance yeah thanks. Loving Sony so far

[@BM-qz8wx]

At the time of release...this was a flagship phone. Not a mid range phone. Second generation Gen 1 chip was not mid range.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

That's true. Love this phone

[@juleon12]

I can't believe that think phone is awesome

[@Cloud121D]

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.

thinkphone is exactly the edge plus 2023 do not buy both of them.

[@QuetinBarnes]

Interesting video

[@Keithbenzoadvocate55]

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.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Excellent analysis. Thanks for watching

[@daydrapinder]

How much do you want for it

[@Keithbenzoadvocate55]

@@JuleonTechReviews I apologize if I seemed like I was trying to be rude or disrespectful but I'm just trying to help you and your channel as I really enjoy your content!

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Thanks for your feedback. I really do listen to make the content better.

[@Keithbenzoadvocate55]

@@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.

[@TheGooch1972]

Those are flagship specs bro. Its a snapdragon 8 PLUS Gen 1. Wich is comparable to the 8 gen 2. Motorola has always made good phones for cheap but to call that a midrange phone is crazy. Appreciate the vid tho...

[@JuleonTechReviews]

I do agree it has flag ship specs for the time but it feels like it's lacking overall. I love it though

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

only reason they selling for mid range price is because they did not sell well in the corpro world.

[@Pentenfi]

Sad that it only comes with 8gb of ram. For futureproofing, I think that would make it the best phone below 500 without any doubt

Lenovo owns both the Thinkpad and Motorola and more

[@JuleonTechReviews]

You're correct

[@kenyontech]

Hi , I'd like to see the process of connecting the phone to an external Display Please .. I see a lot with the phone connecting to PC with APP ... iId just like to know how it works with a simple external monitor . Thanks

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Thanks for the idea. I will work on that. Subscribe to keep up with the latest. Thanks

@@JuleonTechReviews you're welcome..

[@MichaelWeeks-ox5ep]

Yes the comments are true IBM sold it to Lenovo. In Lenovo now owns both them including Motorola

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Yessir

[@jebstuart3]

To your knowledge, does Motorola have a 2024 version of the ThinkPhone, or is this still the '23 model (....nothing wrong with the '23 model, I just took it for granted that Motorola would have a '24 model by now)??

[@JuleonTechReviews]

They just announced their 2024 line up, didn't see a thinkphone on the list.

[@VinnieGillespie-pq3pt]

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.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Yeah it's still a great phone. I love it.

[@wiredspeaker5658]

Great review. The thinkphone has been a great pickup. I don't think you can find a better device for under $400. Although Motorola can keep READY FOR in exchange for. . always on display IR blaster second space And better haptics. I get that it's meant for work but they'd sell a helluva lot more units with the features I listed.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

I completely agree. The camera works just fine as well

[@wiredspeaker5658]

@@JuleonTechReviews yes, for the money the camera is more than adequate. The 2x digital zoom is the downfall but hey the ultawide is actually very good as is the low light photos. Pro mode is a nice feature that I'm enjoying.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Thanks for the tip.

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

@@wiredspeaker5658 I can zoom to x8 ??

[@TheArKtec]

3:35 For future knowledge any Snapdragon processor is a flagship phone. Anything above Snapdragon 800's and up. Just cuz its older doesn't mean its not flagship.. You lost me there.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

That's a fair point

[@lnxguit]

Nice realistic review

What’s going on why they didn’t give us the update 14 yet? they act like we don’t deserve it.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Right. I've been waiting

[@Bigmyoun1]

Updated mine last Thursday to 14.

[@JuleonTechReviews]

Really? How's it running?

[@RJ_Uploads]

The phone is updated to Android 14 and running very well I might I add.

[@terencepone8139]

I dont consider that a MIDRANGE phone. It's a OLD flagship just by its processing specs.😊

[@JuleonTechReviews]

I agree after having it for a while

[@FM-fm2yq]

This phone doesna screen quality, the screen is very bright and very color accurate.. It has the snapdragon 8+gen1 which is much better than the snapdragon 8gen1. They use Samsung nodes for 8gen1.. Huge mistake so they went back to their roots, hence the 8+gen1. Much better in everything
