At the rear, its triple set of cameras would be represented by a main lens with a 50 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture with optical stabilization (OIS), an ultra-wide lens with a 13 MP sensor and a 120º viewing angle and a sensor auxiliary depth. The system would be capable of recording video at up to 8K at 30 FPS.

Lenovo ThinkPhone may launch as a new name for Motorola Bronco

Lenovo may make a new foray into the smartphone market. The company would be working on a new cell phone called ThinkPhone, which could be a new name for the Motorola “Bronco”.

According to the famous leaker Evan Blass, a photo leaked by him would consist of a renamed version of a Motorola device under the codename “Bronco”, indicated by the logo on the lower portion of the cover. However, the Lenovo device would appear under the same model version – whose code is XT-2309.

Rumors were that this device would come equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 mobile platform – that is, it will be classified in the category of a top of the line. In addition, the technical specifications would also have 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM.

The screen would contain a Full HD + resolution, but still no further details discovered. The rear set of cameras would consist of a main sensor of 50 megapixels, not counting the hybrid ultrawide lens – to also serve in macros – of 13 MP, the depth of 2 MP and a 16 MP selfie.

Lenovo would still have – within the Motorola brand – another model under development, whose codename would be “Canyon”. It is expected to be part of the Edge lineup.

For now, there is no information confirmed by the company about the launch date or details of its future devices.
