The device seems to be slightly on the thicker side, hence, the device might come with a large battery and it could even support fast charging. The ThinkPhone is also expected to offer technologies like an in-display fingerprint sensor, and might even support face unlock.

As we have learned from earlier leaks, the ThinkPhone will have a triple camera setup at the back with a 50MP wide-angle lens, a 13MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a depth or macro camera. Similarly, the smartphone will have a 16MP selfie camera, possibly with support for high-resolution video recording.

In terms of software experience, the ThinkPhone is likely to ship with almost stock like Android 13 OS. Unlike Motorola’s iteration of stock Android, the Lenovo ThinkPhone is likely to feature additional security features to make it safe and the device is also likely to pack a few features oriented towards business users.
