Motorola has announced the ThinkPhone 25, its newest business-oriented smartphone with a focus on security and productivity

You are not the only one who has not heard of the original ThinkPhone But the company recently announced its sequel, the ThinkPhone 25, on its blog It might be easy to dismiss Motorola's latest phone, but thanks to its low price and some decent hardware, it has a lot to offer consumers

Speaking of hardware, the ThinkPhone 25 is pretty spec'd out, with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storageThe ThinkPhone 25 has a 636” POLED display, 50 MP, 13 MP ultra-wide, and 10 MP telephoto cameras It is quite durable thanks to its carbon fiber shell and Gorilla Glass 7i

This is a pretty decent setup and could go on the list as one of the best budget phones, especially for a phone that costs $499 However, the ThinkPhone 25's real strengths lie in its integration with other devices and its internal security

The ThinkPhone 25's greatest strength is its integration with Lenovo laptops and Motorola tablets Users who have a phone and one of these brands can take advantage of features such as auto-sync, a shared keyboard, and even the ability to use the ThinkPhone 25 as a webcam It may not be on the same level as Apple's iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia, which allows mirroring of the iPhone on a Mac, but it is still quite impressive at this price point

Motorola is also pushing the security of this device, which is understandable since the original ThinkPhone was considered one of the most secure phones on the market This is thanks to Motorola's Think Shield, which provides protection against malware, phishing, and other threats Motorola's ThinkPhone 25 also comes with five years of Android updates, just in time for Android 16 and security releases

While a business-to-business focused phone won't appeal to everyone, the ThinkPhone 25 has something to say It's not going to be traded in for some of the best phones on the market today, but if you need a decent secondary work phone, it may be worth a look
