Motorola ThinkPhone 25 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola ThinkPhone 25 is the enterprise-collaboration phone the name implies: a 6.36-inch 120 Hz pOLED, the Dimensity 7300, MIL-STD-810H durability certification, and IP68 sealing, with Motorola's deepest support commitment — seven years of security updates — at $499 for 8/256 at launch. The 70/100 everyday score is midrange; the value case is longevity, durability, and the ThinkShield security layer rather than speed.

Display and design

The 6.36-inch pOLED at 120 Hz scores 56/100 — Motorola does not publish a peak-nits figure for this panel in our data, and the score reflects its mid-pack brightness. The chassis is the story: MIL-STD-810H tested, IP68 sealed, aramid-fiber backed, and at 171 g with a compactness score of 97/100, it is the most pocketable phone in the catalog that carries a full durability certification.

Performance

The Dimensity 7300 scores 70/100 everyday and 15/100 gaming — sufficient for the business workload the phone targets, absent for demanding play. The seven-year security-update commitment is the longest in the midrange and the platform's genuine differentiator: this phone is designed to be deployed, not replaced.

Camera

A 50 MP stabilized main, 10 MP ultrawide, and 13 MP telephoto with 4K60 score 40/100 — a complete-feeling stack for a work phone, with the telephoto a surprising inclusion at this tier. Output is daylight-dependent and perfectly adequate for the use case.

Battery and charging

The 4,310 mAh battery scores 26/100 on endurance — the cost of the compact chassis — with 68 W charging (49/100) keeping workdays moving. A workday of business use fits comfortably; media-heavy days will not.

Verdict

The ThinkPhone 25 is bought for the warranty of the thing — durability certification, seven years of security support, and the enterprise security stack — rather than for its silicon. For fleets, field work, and buyers who keep phones until they die, the value math favors it strongly. General buyers wanting speed at the price have richer options; buyers wanting survivability and runway have found their phone.
