This phone also has hold for me and call screening same as the pixel there's no need to get a pixel. I got this phone after seeing a video you did and it's been a hard phone to put down it feels good looks good and runs smooth. It's amazing that it only cost me $400 thank you bring this phone to my attention.
First phone in a while that actually feels usable without a case. I already dropped, got a little dent but it's fine. The 144hz is actually noticeable over 120
In my opinion at that price, Moto just knocked out the myth that you would HAVE to buy a flagship in order to get flagship performance BRAVO Moto ❤ the button btw
The two devices are definitely in different classes. However, the Think Phone is the best device that Motorola has designed in years. Personally, I feel its carbon fiber look, flat screen and high-performance chipset is the perfect combination. It's not an s23 ultra but, it really doesn't need to be.
Seeing videos like this makes me feel that you are a genuine reviewer, because you have the intention to share good tech with your viewers despite the product being not commonly heard of and knowing UA-cam won't push it because of that. Makes me trust your reviews more. Keep it up!
$359.00, 8gen1 plus, 5000mAh, 6.6" up to 144hz refresh rate flat display with 720 Hz PWM, aramid fiber back, 3-year software updates, 4-year security updates = sold 💰. I was curious since the first time I saw it, but I thought it was sold to business only. I am always looking for alternative phones to Pixel and Galaxy. I will give it a try because for this price there is nothing to lose.
It's a very good cell phone, you just need Motorola to give it some love and update the operating system, which shouldn't be difficult because it's the same as the pixels ☝️
Great perspective Adam. Never get why anyone, not filthy rich, would buy a $1300 dollar phone when there's so many options out there in $400-600 range offering flagship performance and great overall cameras. This Motorola is a steal. I doubt the cameras are too far off from the pixels certainly not enough to warant another 300 clams.
This phone isn't in that range, just the price because of price dropped which it's great for us because anything rn that's 400$ to 600$ or 800$ don't get what you get from this phone specs' alone
It would be nice to compare the S23 FE with the ThinkPhone. Same processor and similar screens, as well as potentially different cooling solutions. You don't have to do it; just a suggestion.
@@TechOdysseyI'm debating these two phones. Can get the S23 fe via carrier for $200 after trade. Which would you recommend? Currently have pixel 6a and runs too hot on basic things and too many signal issues. I love the idea of fast charging like my old 1+ 7t, but want good cameras, too. Thanks in advance!
This is far superior to that FE garbage. Stay away from that crap man. Keep your pixel for a second phone (and those cameras) and go get yourself the thinkphone. Enjoy the benefits of 2 devices!!!
@@saynotokaren9904 I appreciate your reply; turns out carrier deal was fluff. I was ready to grab the think phone but the link has it back at 399. 😕 I'm considering just ponying up the money and get a 1+ 11 because of longer updates given the price difference. I'm sure I'm the only one who will say this, I'm not overly impressed with the pixel camera; the video stability is nice but I don't think pictures are that much better than my old OnePlus 7t. 🤷♂️ I got more compliments from pics on that phone than the pixel.
The ThinkPhone is definitely one of the most undereated phones of 2023. I have been using one for six months now and is a great backup phone to have. If Motorola can add stylus support and expandable memory to the ThinkPhone 2, Samsung might actually be in trouble.
My first smartphone was the original Moto G. I loved it. The later models that Motorola put out didn't appeal to me as much until I found your video. Now this is a Motorola I want to buy. But it's a shame that this is impossible to find in the part of the world I live in 😢.
Writing this on my Thinkphone. Switched from my S22+ and never thought Motorola makes such a sweet comeback. This and the Edge 40 Neo are great phones for the price. The Thinkphone even feels more like a Pixel than my Pixel 6. When they manage to bring out Android 14 before March I'm happy. Btw. BSG Gcam Mods work without any config file on the Thinkphone and pimp the good cameras for the last 5%. Except for portrait selfies, they look better on the stock app. Videos toom
ONE of the reasons why I'm SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING buying the 'Think Phone' IS because of the Computing power linked to the 'Ready For' function. I currently have an aging Nvidia Shield K1 tablet connected via Mini HDMI out and USB hub (to an external HDD, power and such), to my living room tv and vintage (1989) Technics SU-600 'New Class A' Integrated Amplifier (then through to my midrange bookshelf speakers and 10" Subwoofer - this being my Android 'home entertainment setup' (I also have my Windows based laptop connected to my TV & Amp). So, with my K1 showing its age (and being stuck on Android 7), the 'Think Phone' is REALLY looking to be the K1's replacement ESPECIALLY AT THAT PRICE! Yeah, some might say "Why not a Samsung S or Note series instead?" Well, I DON'T like the way Samsung have their cloned app versions of the popular AND VERY CAPABLE Google apps that you CANNOT uninstall (bloody bloatware'!) and Motorola/Lenovo (although usually slow with their OS/Security updates) tend to keep to near 'Stock' when it comes to their phones Android OS. 😏, Alternates I've been looking at are also, the upper end 'G series' and 'Edge series' of motorolas that have the 'Ready For' feature. but, unless I go for older used 'Premium' 'G' & 'Edge', £/$400 for a newish 'Think Phone' IS sounding a GOOD DEAL especially with the specs you get too!!! 🤔😏😉👍 😎🇬🇧
Why would Korean company rely on American based store and be completely dependable on infrastructure which belongs to direct competitors? Do you want Samsung to follow Nokia's fate?
@@proudbacteria1373 Nokia are working fine on Android. With regards to Samsung... Their clone copies of Google Assistant, Browser, Photo Gallery, App store, Calendar, Keyboard app and other apps, fall FAR SHORT of what Google's own apps do. But EVEN IF SOME people like to use Samsung versions, purchasers of Samsung phones SHOULD NOT be FORCED into keeping them on their phones (ie UNABLE to uninstall the apps they DON'T use). AT least with the Google versions, you CAN uninstall MOST of the Google apps... THAT'S NOT giving consumers a choice, THAT'S following Apple and their philosophy - 'You buy our phones, you WILL have it OUR WAY'... 🤨😒
@@proudbacteria1373 Also... DON'T get me wrong, Samsung have made some fantastic phones... Me personally would love to be able to buy a S23 or S24 Ultra (SnapDragon versions) with bare bones/stock Android OS. This would thus have no extra unnecessary bloat (freeing up RAM and processor duties), and, would be a GREAT starting point for anyone to build up/customise their phones with GREAT hardware with THEIR OWN CHOICE of Launchers, themes, display designs, apps and all that goes with it... Take the G-Cam Mod for example (only works on SnapDragon processor phones), it's the Pixel camera APK tweaked to work on multiple other makes/models of phones thus, mostly improving on the original manufacturers camera app. I can attest to that having installed it on my old Moto G9 Plus, it GREATLY improved the still images details, HDR and all sorts... So, in the end, allowing the consumer to choose is a much better way, rather than put up being told what they can or can't do with their phones... 🤔😏 And yes, there is the 'Custom Rom' options, but seriously, which 'Average Joe/Joanne' is gonna try tackling that eh? 🤔🤨
Recently traded in my Razr Plus 2023 for a Thinkphone and have enjoyed using it way more than the Razr. I'm very impressed with Motorola's commitment to providing monthly security updates.
Great video and breakdown. This was a tough sell at 699 but at 399 is a great deal. I paid the same for a galaxy s23 fe for my girl recently…sd 8 gen 1+ for the same price as an 8 gen 1 phone is a win.
I wouldn't say that across the board. A colleague at work got herself a Motorola and regularly gets annoyed when she takes photos in low light or in the dark because the photos look so much worse than with my S23U.
I own a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (very similar) and I totally love it. Probably my next phone will be a Motorola too. It's a stock Android phone with neat additions from Motorola, really useful ones. And I envy (haha) this red button, so (again) neat! And the armored hardware and the flat screen.
Great review. I have the edge plus 2023, and I believe the cameras are the exact same or very similar. Only difference is the edge plus 2023 has the snapdragon 8 gen 2.
Thanks for this amazing review. It is nice to see that you are not pushing the new iphone 15, samsung s24 utlra plus ect.... most of ppl don't change phone every year ...most ppl would never see a difference between iphone 12 to 15... yes on paper and spec sheet....but in real world .. exept battery life...the rest is a very very niche crowd. I will buy this think phone, and keep up the amazing work! I found your channel years ago when I was looking for more info about the new ( canceled) blackberry!
Man, I've got a g5g right now, with a Thinkphone on the way and I can't WAIT 'til that thing gets here. I won't get rid of this one (it's too damn good... seriously) but if it's half as good as this one has been, it'll be money well spent.
Not a bad phone for Motorola at all I would take it if I didn't have my s23 base model already I've had plenty of Motorola mid-range phones their battery life was amazing
Same. Pre-ordered and picked up my Base S23 early this year on launch day. I can honestly say I've had ZERO regrets, but this would for sure be an easy choice if I was still in the market. Especially for the price.
I can attest.. the thinkphone is awesome! Thank you for bringing it to my attention! It feels very similar to the pixels stock android but with way better battery life lol I'm currently at 34% and haven't charged my phone in 22 hours. If I do have to charge it I can get to 100% in like 30 min lol only downfall is the cameras are slightly worse, but I've found that it's very good with flash on. Better than my 7 pro
I've been enjoying it immensely. I have a pixel 7 and the thinkphone is so much faster and smoother. The screen on the think is also noticeably brighter in glaring sun. It also has extra dim and anti flicker features (that nobody talks about) which are great for reducing eye strain at night. Yup, fast charging is a game changer that Samsung Google and Apple customers just don't want to admit to. I'll never go back to hour-long charging phones. Screw that. I bought the pixel 7 after using my Realme GT2 Pro (fast charging) for a year and a half and it just about drove me nuts to go back to slow charging. I got the pixel for a work phone and at $400 dollars I couldn't resist. The cameras, for that money, was a big sell point as well. Unbelievably the thinkphone is faster and more accurate for voice to text then the pixel as well. Amazing phone for $359
@@wiredspeaker5658 I switched back to the pixel 7 pro just for today to see how it is.. I forgot how bad the battery life is lol I don't ever have to worry about the battery on the thinkphone... If the pixel had a better battery then it would be the better phone but it's awful lol
Could you possibly inquire with Motorola why they haven't prioritized eSIM functionality on that particular model in this modern era? It seems like a crucial feature that could impact their sales negatively if not addressed promptly.
@@TechOdysseyAre the features on Ready For, linking your phone to a laptop, copy and pasting compatible with only Thinkpad or also with other laptops?
I purchased this phone and I have a pixel 8 almost identical experience I am very happy with it The Pixel has Android 14 and the think the phone still has Android 13 and the pixel 8 has better cameras especially in low light.
So I wanted a US dual nano sim option for a good work phone that I could drop both my work & personal sim in. As a lot of you know carrying 2 phones is annoying. ($319 renewed/like new all original packaging/accessories etc.)
@@TechOdyssey is it better than the s23 fe especially with regards to battery life and overall performance? appreciate all your videos sir. More power to your channel.❤
I actualy returned the think phone and got the 2023 Motorola edge plus. Personally, I like it better. They are both great phones. I just wish it had the 12 gigs of ram instead of 8. I notice more apps have to refresh then on the Fold 5 or s23 series. Overall it is a pretty decent phone. Your videos are great Adam! You are my favorite youtube phone reviewer
Spent the last couple of days debating between the two, just ordered the thinkphone. Why do you like the edge plus better? I have the 2020 edge plus and like it a lot (want to keep it as a travel phone) so need to get a new everyday phone. Is the camera that disappointing on the thinkphone?
@@eyeslike27 I ordered both but will return one. I like the feel of the plus, but I find the thinkphone loads faster, despite the older chipset. The TP has a Jan security patch, while the plus is still on Nov/23. Indeed I find the cameras close (plus has a better front facing camera). Having a hard time deciding on which one I should return.
Unfortunately it's only 3 years of software support that are left for this phone. Even budget Samsung phones receive 5 years of security patches and 3 OS updates.
@@saynotokaren9904 I'm going to buy new midrange phone of 2024 which will serve me 5 years of support. Not necessarily Samsung. If Motorola provided longer support life I would have bought Thinkphone. Heck, I'm even considering buying renewed iPhone 12 because Apple provides long support life ( 6 OS updates and 2 more years of security patches).
Adam, I tried to buy the Thinkphone today with your affiliate link and coming up $399. Is it too late to use the link? Or do you have the coupon code we need to put in at checkout? Please advise. Thank you 😊.
@@robertzoufood no, I haven't. Damn I can't believe its been 2 months since that comment and it's still in that cart 🤣. But I strongly believe one will have a great experience with the phone.
I'm so glad you've gone away from the iPhone and not chose it as the best of year. Have you seen supersafs latest video? Most picked the boring ass iPhone. There's so many great phones out there!
It's almost a man phone. Get rid of the selfie camera, add a good low light macro camera and high speed video. It's big enough for big hands, decently fast for games and high refresh. Add a couple more programmable buttons. Bam a phone for a man.
No always-on-display substituted for that useless "peek" feature is an instant deal breaker for me. We've had AOD since 2015, what are you thinking Moto? Even apple finally got the memo.
Always on is retarded and wastes battery, all I have to do is grab the phone to look at it and the peek screen comes on and I can instantly unlock with my thumb.
@@Laconic_Is there still the peek display available? I thought they replaced it with this new crappy screenlock thing which comes with the Edge 40 series
This is a phenomenal video. Excellent analysis, as always. I have three questions: 1. Which do you like better between the Motorola Think Phone and the Motorola Razr+ 2023? 2. Could you please do a review of the best current cellular phones that have a headphone jack? 3. Could you please do a review of the best headphone jack adapters for phones that do not have a headphone jack? Thank you, in advance.
No worries. I am not talking about the phone to make money. Just to educate people and share this phone because I think it’s an amazing deal and a really good phone.
Why THE FUCK the in USA the phones cost this small price, I buy the Thinkphone in Europe from 430 euro, my LG V50 thin Q I buy in 2022 from 170 dollar + shipping tax from USA, damn this is ridiculously
How has your battery life been with the 144Hz on? I've been using auto display and the battery life has been amazing.. over 24 hours without a charge and I'm at 20%
@@jasondefelice2710 I haven't been measuring it, but it's leaps and bounds better than my Pixel 7. I need to charge my Pixel twice a day from 15% to 80%, but I do know that I don't have to charge my Thinkphone until bedtime
@@bjperez9076 the cameras aren’t bad at all. If you look at my community post section on my channel and scroll back a little ways I actually posted some samples

@@wiredspeaker5658 I switched back to the pixel 7 pro just for today to see how it is.. I forgot how bad the battery life is lol I don't ever have to worry about the battery on the thinkphone... If the pixel had a better battery then it would be the better phone but it's awful lol
Could you possibly inquire with Motorola why they haven't prioritized eSIM functionality on that particular model in this modern era? It seems like a crucial feature that could impact their sales negatively if not addressed promptly.
Why does eSIM matter so much? I prefer no eSIM. I don’t see it as an issue at all.
@@TechOdysseyAre the features on Ready For, linking your phone to a laptop, copy and pasting compatible with only Thinkpad or also with other laptops?
I purchased this phone and I have a pixel 8 almost identical experience I am very happy with it The Pixel has Android 14 and the think the phone still has Android 13 and the pixel 8 has better cameras especially in low light.
So I wanted a US dual nano sim option for a good work phone that I could drop both my work & personal sim in. As a lot of you know carrying 2 phones is annoying. ($319 renewed/like new all original packaging/accessories etc.)
Is it possible to use the phone in other countries?
@TechOdyssey Do you think this phone will work in other countries if bought unlocked from the US?
Got one during Thanksgiving based on one of your videos. Its truly a hidden gem!
How are the cameras?
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
It is very decent when compared to the more expensive phones I have but at its price point, it is amazing. @@bjperez9076
Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Definitely a keeper. @@TechOdyssey
How long does Tech Odysseys $359 link last?
I think until the holiday sale ends. Likely until Christmas but no guarantees
I picked this up less than a month ago. I like it!
Sadly this phone cost 10990:-SEK in Sweden, about 1011,62 USD.
I wish they sold it at this discounted price in Finland 😢
is this compatible with tmobile 5G sir?
Yup. Sure is
@@TechOdyssey is it better than the s23 fe especially with regards to battery life and overall performance? appreciate all your videos sir. More power to your channel.❤
@@pearldy6172 I think it is. I think it’s a better phone. And thank your glad you enjoy the channel
the price is 399 but not 359. Should I apply sone promo code to get it for 359?
Wow this is a shocker 1st time hearing about this.
Yup. A lot of people have never heard about it
I actualy returned the think phone and got the 2023 Motorola edge plus. Personally, I like it better. They are both great phones. I just wish it had the 12 gigs of ram instead of 8. I notice more apps have to refresh then on the Fold 5 or s23 series. Overall it is a pretty decent phone. Your videos are great Adam! You are my favorite youtube phone reviewer
Spent the last couple of days debating between the two, just ordered the thinkphone. Why do you like the edge plus better? I have the 2020 edge plus and like it a lot (want to keep it as a travel phone) so need to get a new everyday phone. Is the camera that disappointing on the thinkphone?
@@rudeboy2502 Sorry, I am just seeing your reply. I felt the battery was better on the moto edge plus 2023. Cameras were pretty close to equal
@@eyeslike27 I ordered both but will return one. I like the feel of the plus, but I find the thinkphone loads faster, despite the older chipset. The TP has a Jan security patch, while the plus is still on Nov/23. Indeed I find the cameras close (plus has a better front facing camera). Having a hard time deciding on which one I should return.
Unfortunately it's only 3 years of software support that are left for this phone. Even budget Samsung phones receive 5 years of security patches and 3 OS updates.
Oh yeah I'm going to run out and buy a POS budget Samsung over the thinkphone just because of OS updates. Ridiculous
@@saynotokaren9904 I'm going to buy new midrange phone of 2024 which will serve me 5 years of support. Not necessarily Samsung. If Motorola provided longer support life I would have bought Thinkphone. Heck, I'm even considering buying renewed iPhone 12 because Apple provides long support life ( 6 OS updates and 2 more years of security patches).
People tend to vastly overrate software updates. Haven't had a software update on my current phone in 2+ years. No problem whatsoever
Think Is Lenovo right?
I was buying motorola but the update was pretty bad.
More worth it when the price comes down another $100.
144 Refresh Rate has to be manually set.
your $359 thing isn't working. it still says 399
Id rather spend money on an attorney than buy that overpriced, slow-charging brick. Motorola all day
I have a 13 pro max. Do you believe I should get the s23 ultra now if I really need a new phone? I totaled my phone yesterday and I need a new phone
Where can it be bought at $399 price?
Amazon, at least you could yesterday
Thanks @@TechOdyssey , I was looking on lenovos website and it still has a price tag of $699.
@@eduardnunez7426Which country do you live in? (You dont have to say if you feel uncomfortable)
how about compare with motorola edge 40 pro?
Adam, I tried to buy the Thinkphone today with your affiliate link and coming up $399. Is it too late to use the link? Or do you have the coupon code we need to put in at checkout? Please advise. Thank you 😊.
Hi. Here in Germany the phone costs 1000 euro on Motorola s site. What an unconsistent policy
That’s crazy.
Watched your videos on thus befote buying one. This phone is legit. Best phone even compared to my iphone 14 pro max.
It’s been in my cart for a while now😅. Just a little more time and I’ll be able to afford it.
Have you got it, if so how is it?
@@robertzoufood no, I haven't. Damn I can't believe its been 2 months since that comment and it's still in that cart 🤣. But I strongly believe one will have a great experience with the phone.
ThinkPhone is £799 ( including tax ) in the UK. Very expensive.
Ouch. That’s a lot more here
I bought almost like new with one scratch on screen in box with charger and case, 2y warranty for 325£ in CEX UK and I'm very happy! Marvelous phone!
2:40 Thank you.. Now i have to contend with the likes of Samsung or Apple. It upset me when Sony left South Africa.
Comparing one phone that you can get. Against one YOU REALLY CAN'T.....
youtube goals.... I guess.
I almost went with the think phone but I ended up buying the Motorola edge plus 2023 for around 50 bucks more
How do you find the edge plus? Just ordered the thinkphone but wondering if I should change it. Any issues with the speakerphone?
Android 14? If not when?
I'm still rocking the snapdragon 888👍
Yesterday I get December patch
Yes, you can buy beef steak or McDonald's. Bought, they says it's beef.
remind me again why the $300 phone is really $359?
Different storage capacity
One for your wife, and your girlfriend lol
Does Thinkphone have an IP Rating?
Ip68
@@TechOdyssey Well then! Considering all things, that pretty much makes this thing a Flagship Slayer!
I'm so glad you've gone away from the iPhone and not chose it as the best of year. Have you seen supersafs latest video? Most picked the boring ass iPhone. There's so many great phones out there!
I haven’t seen his video but I’m sure 90% of the big guys picked the iphone as phone of the year.
@@TechOdyssey exactly. Same as last year, boooore
It's almost a man phone. Get rid of the selfie camera, add a good low light macro camera and high speed video. It's big enough for big hands, decently fast for games and high refresh. Add a couple more programmable buttons. Bam a phone for a man.
how is the speech to text
No always-on-display substituted for that useless "peek" feature is an instant deal breaker for me. We've had AOD since 2015, what are you thinking Moto? Even apple finally got the memo.
Always on is retarded and wastes battery, all I have to do is grab the phone to look at it and the peek screen comes on and I can instantly unlock with my thumb.
AOD is overrated and most phones have it so buy them 🤷🏾♂️
@@Laconic_Is there still the peek display available? I thought they replaced it with this new crappy screenlock thing which comes with the Edge 40 series
This is a phenomenal video. Excellent analysis, as always.
I have three questions:
1. Which do you like better between the Motorola Think Phone and the Motorola Razr+ 2023?
2. Could you please do a review of the best current cellular phones that have a headphone jack?
3. Could you please do a review of the best headphone jack adapters for phones that do not have a headphone jack?
Thank you, in advance.
359? not happening in Germany 😂 unfortunately
Ultra is Ultra 🤔😉
Damm.. wish i bought it from your link.. my bad man
No worries. I am not talking about the phone to make money. Just to educate people and share this phone because I think it’s an amazing deal and a really good phone.
You heard that?! One for your wife, one for your girlfriend?!
Why THE FUCK the in USA the phones cost this small price, I buy the Thinkphone in Europe from 430 euro, my LG V50 thin Q I buy in 2022 from 170 dollar + shipping tax from USA, damn this is ridiculously
Because Motorola is American so there is less movement. Also, American prices dont include tax whereas european prices include VAT.
You the man
Thank you
Nice video
I can find oneplus ace 2 pro at that price, for a better phone with 8gen2 processor.
Wife and girlfriend 😂
Man, this phone is AMAZING! I never knew I needed 144Hz display until I got it. I feel like I'm committing a crime having this phone for only $359😂
How has your battery life been with the 144Hz on? I've been using auto display and the battery life has been amazing.. over 24 hours without a charge and I'm at 20%
The screen is sooooo nice
@@jasondefelice2710 I haven't been measuring it, but it's leaps and bounds better than my Pixel 7. I need to charge my Pixel twice a day from 15% to 80%, but I do know that I don't have to charge my Thinkphone until bedtime
Are the cameras as bad a some say? I'm not overly impressed with my Pixel 6a camera and even less so when it can't do phone things well.
@@bjperez9076 the cameras aren’t bad at all. If you look at my community post section on my channel and scroll back a little ways I actually posted some samples
Watch from pakistan 🇵🇰 dude
Howdy!
Big storage, bright screen for outdoors, big battery.
And can be used CASELESS!!!!
What I have always been waiting for.
I honestly think the one plus nord 30 is the best buy this year @300$. 128 GB of storage like 2x as much ram+ 50 watt fast charging and a wide angle camera lens+ 120 hertz refresh rate.
Definitely not better than this phone especially for the price
@@TechOdyssey maybe so, but that's the great thing about technology everyone can enjoy what they like.
@@BrodeeRaney-zl1kf if you’re happy with it and it does what you need it do then that’s all that matters.
@@TechOdyssey most definitely I have the Nord 300& I will upgrade it's just nice to have something different. OxygenOS is some of the best creativity I've ever seen.
1000€ in Germany
