No 3.5mm jack no buy, 08 Mar 2023Don't care about eco friendly garbage. Having removabl... moreWell, you need to be able to listen to the opposing side to see if your position is valid or not.

Let's take it one at a time:

1. Removable battery. Phones will have to be thicker to accommodate this. Most removable batteries in phones never went over 1800 or 2000mAh. The reason why they are stuck inside now, is to prevent users from setting themselves on fire, as the batteries are malleable. Chances are you will stop getting software support way before the battery fails.

2. Headphone jack. This takes valuable space inside the unit. You can always use type-c or lightning earphones, or use an adaptor. They are inexpensive, and they can remain attached to the headphones themselves. Wireless headphones are quite decent, even the cheap ones. There is no reason to keeping beating this dead horse.

If you want manufacturers to obey your expectations, then band together with like minded people and either buy an existing brand's phone or ask them to build one for you. I am sure someone will do this, if the money is there.

One idea around this were Lego phones, or interchangeable components. This way not only that you can change the battery when it fails, or on the fly, but you can upgrade your SOC so you can continue to have the latest specs and software support. But these phones were not popular, and you will find out that most people that cry about these changes, like yourself, go and buy the same "unrepairable" phones like the rest of us.

CONVENIENCE is a word that people in GSMarena comment section have forgotten. They want to experience inconvenience just for newer and nicer looking technology. We want microSD card, headphone jack and removable battery for CONVENIENCE, not for being eco friendly, or not even for highest performance. Those features make our lives a lot easier and more CONVENIENT in many situations without any drawback on other useful features. Keeping them harms none but removing then harms some. So keeping them is the superior choice.

        Absolutely fail of a phone. It's featured like a upper-midrange with cost of absolute flagships. Why this cost? Well, its a Think brand, supposed to have well thought, utility features and tools that those flagships don't offer, right? Ok, then where's headphone jack? Where's microSD card slot?
        You're paying £/$/€500 more just for drop resistance which you can get with a £/$/€10 case!
        A Zenfone 9 costs much less and you only lose drop resistance (fixed with a case), some battery (but compact) and 24hz refresh rate. Asus is also much better at fixing software bug than Motorola. It's beyond comprehension why someone could get this overpriced, thinkless phone instead.

          The Lenovo Legion Y70 that is only around 360USD is very similar to this phone.

            This should be 300€ cheaper at least. Not worth the price.

              Thank you so much for this review. have to lower my expectation, i thought with 8+ Gen 1 this phone will be in good camera experience not only the performance. Expensive but unique, i think i will buy Samsung Xcover 6 pro for my daily outdoor work, and keep my Pixel as my second driver specially for object detail at my work. Fiuuuh.... feel uncomfortable bring 2 phones in my pocket. Thanks again so much GSMArena Team. Good luck !

                        Nice specs but i also would rather a smaller screen with 2k resolution, and i wonder Why no audio jack? it is really cheap

                            Dear GSMArena Team,

                            Please review this phone (Motorola ThinkPhone).
                            Really need tough rugged phone like Nokia XR20, and smooth Androind + good camera like Pixel. Cuz i've tried rugged case for my Pixel, but not helping.

                            Thank you so much. Good luck

                                i don't own a Sony phone myself but i do have used them as family like them
                                and own them

                                Sony pricing way too high for me i have too work with a tight budget
                                so i mostly buy budget phones or wait for phone too go on mega sale

                                if i saved up for a lot of money i start looking at the gaming phones like a lenovo legion or nubia red magic for my next upgrade
                                am waiting till either they specs get greater more ram more storage or price gets lower

                                praise Sony yeah sure
                                sd card & headphone jack should stay on phones forever
                                oled 120hz 4k screen cool

                                      Ara......., 07 Feb 2023Camera on Xperia phones are really badThe more affordable Sony Xperia phone often are old back then cameras tech wasn't as good as it is now

                                      All of the Sony Xperia phones look the same

                                      Unfortunately they have added unnecessary extra camera too there latest phone

                                      So yeah it's also possible the bad camera is one of the 4 camera and often what happens is one good camera 3 bad ones added

                                      A fashion trend standard by Nokia 9 preview but what everyone else don't understand is on that phone all camera worked together as team

                                      Plus tech industry didn't hesitate call it a gimmick um but now everything has 4 5 or 6 camera

                                      Maybe there not the best but if fixation on camera a focus there are external 360 camera that plug into the headphone jack
                                      Or just buy a actual professional camera

                                        Anonymous, 07 Feb 2023ya i like sonyMe too
                                        The Sony Xperia phone have the best screens
                                        Also Sony only brand that keeps both the headphones jack and SD card slot

                                        The way the every other brands is heading down Sony will have no competitor's soon in quality of screen

                                        Every other brand brand butchers there screens with hole punch or notches a total no-go if you actually want a good screen

                                        There used too be strong competition for beat screens

                                        But only a handful of brands with acceptable build design quality left

                                        Only Sony makes 4k 120hz screens and puts them on Sony Xperia phone

                                        The only reasonable alternatives there's Asus Rog line so far so good 165hz 1080p good

                                        Sadly Asus ZenFone 8 flip end of the road for there's phones
                                        Where's the ZenFone 9 flip ??

                                        Lenovo legion y90 was last Lenovo phone with good 144hz 1080p screen
                                        Please make Lenovo legion dual 3 & Lenovo legion 3 pro please Lenovo

                                        Nubia red magic 7s with 1080p 165hz screen last good phone by ZTE am care about privacy I also don't want a crappy selfie camera under screen camera just not good

                                        Another noticeable difference advantage Sony Xperia phone has is the finger print scanner isn't under the screen either that I have heard can also hurt to viewing experience not too mention the storing your finger print in same database somewhere
