Agreed. I've had some flagship phones that I've loved, S22 (crap) Note 10+ (my fave phone ever), Note 20 Ultra (good but crazy spendy). I wound up looking for as great a phone as I Could, some b $500, randomly ran into info on this underrated gem for $430, and have been beyond pleased ever since. Do I wish it had expandable memory? Yep.
Do I miss my styli? Yep. Do I love carrying an ultra durable phone, with 90% of the bells and whistles I was hoping for? 100%. Would I buy this phone at under $350? I might, just to have a spare. If you want a camera that shoots DSLR quality...just go buy a cheap one, plenty of Canons out there.
If you want a phone that works like a mule, is durable as all F...buy this phone and laugh at your friends who paid 2-3x as much. Samsung and Google can continue their camera battles. Motorola has stepped up their product, and their updates. Buy this phone if you'd rather spend that extra money on...WHATEVER else.
I have this phone. Camera snobs need not apply here, as like all phones by Motorola, it stinks. But I love the rest. No bloatware. I was able to run a Dell 32" curved widescreen, log in to my HVD and run a WebEx call with my USB keyboard and mouse and wireless headset.
Lenovo/Motorola screen controls are really nice.
No 5G issues, no bluetooth issues, no WiFi issues. it just works.
I am not Ansel Adams and don't need a camera worthy of the Museum of Art, just one that takes pictures.
The Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola packs a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 256 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM, as well as a 144 Hz OLED display, and it's currently selling for just under $400. In addition, Motorola's "Ready For" app allows users to easily connect the phone to a PC in order to share files and notifications and even use it as a webcam.
