The Lenovo ThinkPad computer series is a productivity-class laptop that is quite famous for its minimalist and unique design. ThinkPad laptops typically come with thin and light designs and still come with powerful internal components as well.
In this modern era, we can see that the combination of smart devices and laptops is expanding, such as iPhone and MacBook, Honor devices and also MagicBook laptops, or Huawei devices with their MateBook computers.
Now it's Lenovo and Motorola's turn, with the introduction of the ThinkPhone by Motorola device.
Design And Specifications
The design of the ThinkPhone device takes 100 percent inspiration from the Lenovo ThinkPad series of laptops, complete with a black frame, slim design and also a red button on the side which, if you've used a ThinkPad laptop before, is the laptop's iconic red mouse dot .
It comes with a 6.6-inch P-OLED screen display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. It also uses a Gorilla Glass Victus screen to give the device some resistance to scratches and even cracks due to falls.
The basic model of this ThinkPhone device is using the frame of another Motorola smart device, the Motorola X40 which houses internal components that are slightly different from normal. If the Motorola X40 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processing chip, the ThinkPhone is powered by the previous generation processing chip, namely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with memory and storage configurations from 8GB to 12GB and 128GB to 512GB.
On the back, in addition to the use of a frame made of Kevlar material like what is used on the ThinkPad X1 laptop, and also has a three-lens camera system consisting of a 50MP sensor, 13MP with an ultrawide lens and a 2MP sensor for the depth lens (TOF).
The use of the Kevlar frame means that the back of the device won't be a fingerprint magnet, but it also means that the device is still very slippery and easy to fall out of your hand. Even so, Kevlar is a very durable material and is not easily scratched or chipped.
Ecosystem Device
As said before, the ThinkPhone device was developed as an ecosystem device to be used together with ThinkPad laptops. A number of Lenovo ThinkPad laptop models come with Ready for Assistant software that allows the ThinkPhone device to use the ThinkPad display as the device's interface.
What differentiates this ecosystem from Lenovo and Motorola as well as the devices released by Huawei and Honor is the Ready for Assistant software that shows the use of mobile and desktop mode interfaces on laptops is that the processing for these activities all happens in the background, and is not a mere mirroring function. eyes
This means that while you use the device through a laptop, your smart device can still be used for other activities simultaneously. The use of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 processing chip with sufficient memory ensures that these software and features can be used without problems.
Not only that, this ThinkPhone is also seen to re-popularize gesture functions such as Flip to DND, Lift to Unlock, Three Finger Screenshot and so on. In fact, as a unique function for this ThinkPhone device, it also comes with a special red button that can be used as a shortcut button that can be set with one and two taps to open any desired function and application.
Conclusion
ThinkPhone by Motorola is a device that combines the concepts of simplicity in design, powerful performance and also useful functions for the purpose of productivity and ease of use.
Unfortunately we were told that this ThinkPhone device is a B2B (business-to-business) device that will only be offered to Lenovo customers who use existing ThinkPad devices.
This ThinkPhone device is also seen to only be fully utilized by those who use ThinkPad laptops by using the Ready for Assistant software, and since the use of ThinkPads is usually only used on a large scale by large companies or government bodies, it is not surprising if this business model offered for this device.
