Lenovo acquired Motorola from Google ten years ago and injected new vitality into the brand, launching a number of excellent products that are very cost-effective and popular in the market. In addition to promoting the mobile phone business with the Moto brand as an entry point, Lenovo also launched the LEGION mobile phone, which is the main game, and the latest news said that Lenovo plans to launch a derivative smartphone brand ThinkPhone.
According to information held by foreign technology media 91Mobile, Lenovo’s upcoming ThinkPhone is internally codenamed Bronco and model number XT-2309, based on Motorola’s 2023 Edge series flagship phones. An image obtained by foreign media 91Mobile shows an intrusive watermark that Lenovo uses to protect creative assets.
However, after the official launch of the ThinkPhone, the final shape may change. Specifications for the Bronco are not yet known. Based on Motorola’s previously leaked roadmap, though, we know that aside from the Canyon (Edge 40 Pro?) and Juno (Razr 23?), the Bronco should have the best feature set for 2023.
91Mobile said
Both the Bronco and Canyon should be next year’s flagship models in terms of specs. Canyon (Edge 40 Pro) will offer a 165Hz refresh rate and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (SM8550) chip. And Bronco (ThinkPhone) should be equipped with the same chip, or most likely use the current Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 (SM8475).
Both phones feature FHD+ screens, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 50-megapixel primary rear cameras. But while Canyon has another 50MP sensor for wide-angle and macro shots, and a 60MP selfie cam (and has a 12MP telephoto module for good measure), the Bronco promises a more modest 13MP wide/micro distance and 16MP selfie options, plus a 2MP depth sensor.
There are ThinkPhones imagined by netizens on the Internet, but since the shape and screen resolution are very old, it should be a long time ago.
