          In my opinion a thinkpad phone should at least be either one of three things. A device similar to the XCover series from Samsung, with removable backs, big batteries and more rugged design; a compact smartphone for actual real business people who dont spend their entire days in their phones browsing Twitter or Youtube, so they would rather have portability and ease of use than large displays; or a productivity monster in the form of a foldable device like the Samsung Fold line. Other than that, it'll be just a rebranded Motorola.

            Umm, 3 generations of the Razr that has had a far superior folding mechanism to the Z flip. Basically doesn't show any noticable crease.

            What's held the Razr back has been sub-flagship SOC and battery life. The RAZR 3, released in China, has a Global release slotted for late Jan/Feb.

                  It's now listed on the Motorola website. No price listed yet though.

                  Android 13
                  Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
                  8/256 GB UFS 3.1
                  Gorilla Glass Victus
                  6.6" pOLED Display 144Hz
                  IP68
                  5000 mAh battery
                  68W wired charging/15W wireless
                  Drag and drop file transfer between PC and mobile
                  Dual Sim
                  WIFI 6

                  Doesn't look like there's a card slot.

                  No 3.5mm jack

                    Moto Z series was a perfect device, considering the modular design, it had projector Mod, Speaker Mod, battery Mod. Adding a word "think" to the name of model is just a gimmick

                      Nick, 04 Jan 2023Does it contain a headphone jack? No matter if you have v5.... moreCouldn't agree more. Not only you have to suffer from latency issue, you have to charge it almost every day. No such thing with headphone jack.

                        That took them too long to finally get to use the thinkpad design. Too late moto, your phones have been mediocre ever since lenovo took control of the brand.

                              They could have just called it the ThinkPad and it would still work since these are touch-screen, stylus devices...
