Motorola introduces the Motorola ThinkPhone – an Android enterprise device that is closely related both visually and functionally to Lenovo’s ThinkPads.
Motorola presents the ThinkPhone at CES in Las Vegas. Or rather: the Motorola Think Phones. This mention is important, because everything about the device screams Lenovo. The premium Android phone looks like a mobile ThinkPad, carries the Think name, and integrates seamlessly with Windows laptops like ThinkPads and ThinkBooks.

Connectivity to Windows
Going by the Think 2 Think name, the device can easily connect to Windows laptops, even if they are not from Lenovo. The phone has an additional hardware button on board for quickly setting up that integration. This way you can easily exchange files, open apps on your computer, record phone calls or even activate a VPN.
