“The ThinkPhone isn’t my first or second Android phone choice for most people. Still, if you don’t want a Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel, it’s a nice alternative, especially for anyone already rocking a ThinkPad.”

“The Motorola ThinkPhone can't escape its business phone origins. While its nostalgic design is fun and the phone's battery lasts for two days, it fails to excite where it matters.”
