Motorola just released its second ThinkPhone, replacing last year’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1-equipped model (currently $399.99 at Amazon) . For information, while the company’s website refers to the new smartphone as the “ThinkPhone by Motorola”, it appears that its official name is actually the ThinkPhone 25.
Regardless, the new ThinkPhone is actually a revamped version of the Edge 50 Neo. Although Motorola does not recognize it, the ThinkPhone 25 matches the Edge 50 Neo Edge 50 Neo with dimensions of 154.1 x 71.2 x 8.1 mm, weight of 171 g, IP68 certification, compliance MIL-STD-810H and a 4,310 mAh battery that supports 68W and 15W wireless charging. Additionally, Motorola has equipped the ThinkPhone 25 with the following cameras:
- Primary: 50 MP Sony LYT-700C, f/1.8 aperture, dual pixel PDAF, 1.0 µm pixel size, OIS
- Ultra-wide: 13 MP, f/2.2 aperture, 1.12 µm pixel size, 120 FOV
- Telephoto: 10 MP, f/2.0 aperture, 1.0 µm pixel size, OIS, 3x optical zoom
- Front: 32 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 0.7 µm pixel size
Additionally, the ThinkPhone 25 features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip processor with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB uMCP storage. For some reason, Motorola put a slightly smaller screen inside the new ThinkPhone, which is 0.4 inches smaller than the 6.4 inches equivalent inside the Edge 50 Neo. Nonetheless, the 6.36-inch POLED panel sports a 1220p resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
Additionally, the ThinkPhone 25 is equipped with Gorilla Glass 7i, which Corning announced in the spring. Additionally, the new ThinkPhone will receive software and security updates for five years, presumably until Android 19 arrives. Currently, Motorola plans to sell the ThinkPhone 25 in Europe and other markets at a price of €499 (~$554) starting in November. The device is also expected to be available in the UK, but at a comparatively higher price of £450 (~€541/$599).
