Lenovo ThinkPhone Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Lenovo ThinkPhone - a strict flagship at a reasonable price

Lenovo is not as widely represented in the international smartphone market, which is disappointing. Many of the manufacturer's products are distinguished by simply an incredible combination of functionality, performance and an affordable price tag, often ahead of even analogues from Xiaomi, Realme and Huawei in this respect. The hero of today's review belongs to such a group of devices.

The appearance of the novelty is pleasing to the eye, although it is devoid of truly original features. But if you remember that the gadget has full protection against dust and moisture (IP68), then you only want to praise the thin frames of the flat display, the stylish carbon texture of the rear glass panel, and the interesting block of three photomodules only more. The metal edging also adds to the attractiveness of the exterior. The AMOLED display received an average FullHD + resolution by modern standards, but pleases with other parameters. The top-end 144Hz refresh rate, impressive brightness, calibrated color reproduction and accurate in-display fingerprint sensor will appeal to all users.

Specifications in the face of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 730 video core will save the Android 13 interface from the slightest lag. Applications launch in the blink of an eye, and the gaming capabilities of the chipset are impressive. It easily copes with Genshin Impact, Fortnite at maximum graphic presets, providing a stable frame rate without friezes and lags. Batteries with a capacity of 5000mAh will be enough for a day and a half of operation of the phablet, while charging the battery is allowed even wirelessly. The size of the internal memory was 128 / 256GB of ROM, the expansion of which is not provided.

Of course, such a technologically advanced mobile assistant could not do without the excellent photo capabilities of the main cameras. The 50-, 13- and 2-megapixel modules are topped by the time-tested Sony IMX 766 sensor with optical stabilization, which will achieve detailed and clear pictures and videos even in the evening. But the lack of a telephoto lens will definitely upset those who like to take photographs of distant objects. As for stereo sound, you won't have to complain about the volume level, and the frequency response came out even. NFC contactless payments, modem operation in 5G frequencies increase the list of pluses, while the minuses are replenished with untranslated phrases in the software, non-removable services in Chinese. However, these shortcomings do not spoil the impression of a first-class device.
