    Such a wasted opportunity to do an amazing unique phone, not just an X40 with a logo stuck on and the price bumped up.

      A huge battery with just below 15 hours of web browsing? What on Earth?

          Despite saying it's a business to business device and it has fleet management/security features, it gets reviewed for what it is: an upper-midrange consumer phone dressed as a "serious" enterprise device - which wouldn't and shouldn't use Android unless it's deGoogled and customized for security.

            I bet Samsung must have similar B2B offering, but allowing to use the S series.

              Anonymous, 06 Mar 2023Try again. Most M series are using Mediatek and Exynos chip... moreOnly redmi note users need it.
              Cry.

                I really don’t see anything special about this phone. Thus, nothing special about any Android phone! Features? Security? Remote management? All of that can be on any Android. For what is worse, it’s questionable how long will Motorola/Lenovo provide sw updates for this one so it may be the lavk of above mentioned in future when comparing to Galaxy S23 or Xiaomi 13 or skmething similar.
                What makes is special is a bit different hardware and that’s it. Certainly not enough to justify price tag of 1000€.
                Blackberries, some Nokias and even Ericssons had phones that were special in terms that it was ment for businness crowd. Especially BB. Nowdays, it’s all the same, except UI skin and some parts of hardware (mostly camera islands)

                      I must admit that the battery rating is great for SD 8+ Gen 1. But if Motorola really focus on security for this phone, I don't think Android is the way to go. If I care about security, I use a deGoogled Android OS ROM or a GNU Linux mobile OS like what Purism did with the Librem 5. In fact, Purism can go the extra mile by giving hardware kill switch.

                        I REALLY want this phone, but it's too expensive for me. Pixel 7a will be cheaper and better

China rom also wont pass Safetynet, so its risky when using Gpay and banking apps.

                              I do not take 30s on lightroom to edit. Miles better than what jpeg of my phone can dream of having.

                                And also, most Moto phones come with full camera2 api support, which makes them fully compatible with modded versions of GCAM. You just have to find a compatible port for your phone & enjoy the enhanced camera experience.

                                  Galaxy Xcover6 Pro is more Thinkpad than this Thinkphone:
                                  - replaceable battery
                                  - headphone jack
                                  - easy to dissamble

                                    Visually, the back reminds me of those older Motorolas with Kevlar back panels. Those phones were very popular back in the day.

                                      Motorola and bad cameras goes hand in hand. Almost like they're legally obliged to make phones with crap photo capabilities 😅
