The ThinkPad brand - currently owned by Lenovo - is mainly associated with corporate, long-lasting laptops. Now, apparently, a smartphone will join them!
As you probably expect, the ThinkPad smartphone will be based on Motorola solutions, another legendary brand currently owned by Lenovo. This is indicated not only by the ownership structure of both brands, but also by the appearance of the device, which does not differ from the current models with the Moto logo. In addition, the relationship with Motorola can also be seen in the designation of the equipment: XT-2309. The code name of the smartphone is Bronco, which was seen in the company of others - Canyon and Juno. Canyon is to be next year's super average (probably Edge 40 Pro), and Juto is another RAZR.
For this reason, the smartphone is associated with next year's Edge 40. Maybe it will just be the Motorola Edge 40 in a different housing...? Anyway, rumours spread, that the ThinkPad smartphone is to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, a display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 8 or 12 GB of RAM. We will also see a 50-megapixel camera accompanied by a 13-megapixel wide-angle/macro camera, as well as a 2-megapixel background blur and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. In turn, the aforementioned Canyon model - the Motorola Edge 40 Pro - is to receive a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a 60-megapixel selfie camera and other rear cameras. In addition to the main 50 Mpx, it is also to have a second 50 Mpx camera for wide angle and macro, as well as a 12-megapixel camera with a telephoto lens. However, all these smartphones will not appear until next year, so we still have a lot of time for more specific leaks...
