Motorola partners with Microsoft to bring new features to ThinkPhone
The Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola, a smartphone designed for business customers, is getting new productivity tools.
Together, Motorola and Microsoft are announcing two new features for ThinkPhone users so they can work from anywhere: fully integrated support for Windows 365 cloud capabilities and Push To Talk integration with the Walkie Talkie feature on Microsoft Teams.

Customers can also access the power of ThinkPhone by combining it with any Lenovo monitor, including the ThinkVision P27h-30 monitor featuring a 27-inch QHD display, and Bluetooth accessories such as the Lenovo Professional Wireless Rechargeable Combo Keyboard and Mouse, and Lenovo Go Wireless ANC Headset, for a complete Windows PC experience with all their personalised apps, content, and settings, wherever they are.
While immersed at work, convenience is key and ThinkPhone’s iconic Red Key button works to bring convenience to life, claims Lenovo. With two taps, users can experience phone and PC Integration powered by Think 2 Think connectivity.
Now, the convenience of ThinkPhone’s Red Key is being expanded with the integration of the Walkie Talkie app in Teams. By quickly programming the Red Key to invoke Walkie Talkie mode, users will have instant push-to-talk (PTT) communication capabilities.
ThinkPhone comes with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform, large 6.6” FHD+ display, a 5,000 mAh battery, and 68W TurboPower charger that can charge both the ThinkPhone and Lenovo laptops. Also on board is 50MP Ultra Pixel camera.
