ThinkPhone 25: 30-second review
The ThinkPhone 25 is a follow-up to the original ThinkPhone, sold under both the Motorola and Lenovo branding.
In many respects, the new ThinkPhone 25 takes the philosophy behind the original design and brings it up to modern standards. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has been discarded to be replaced by the more power-efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7300-ultra, and the cameras have been overhauled to address what was seen as a weakness in that model.
If you’ve seen any rugged phones, the ThinkPhone 25 doesn’t look anything like them. Instead, it seems like an ordinary, if classy, smartphone.
It even delivers the all-important IP68 standard, which allows the phone to be completely submerged in water up to a depth of 1.5M for 30 minutes without a rubber plug over the USB-C port.
The result is an everyday phone that isn’t significantly compromised by being resistant to drops and the environment.
Its only weakness is that it doesn’t have the massive battery capacity that some rugged designs offer, limiting it to about two days of typical use before needing a recharge. However, the smaller battery in the ThinkPhone 25 recharges from empty to full in under an hour, making this device much more convenient to carry.
