Lenovo laptops are trash so I imagine their phones would be trash too. I'll stick to Pixel.
My last three phones were pixels, latest is a Motorola. Finally having battery life again is sweet.
ThinkPads are often (but not always) great, but I'd otherwise 100% agree.
Motorola hasn't had a smartphone I've been interested in since the first-gen Moto X, and they were owned by Google at that time
The old ones are good, but the newer ones are disappointing. I had a 9th gen X1 specced out and it was unusable for development. It would thermal throttle after only 2 minutes on anything more than 40% CPU. Keyboard was nice and screen was ok, but the thermals and battery life was horrible.
I absolutely had the X1 in my sights when I said they weren't always great. It's a laptop line that somehow misses every point of why people buy ThinkPads in the first place but because it looks good reviewers eat it up.
…Though you're absolutely correct that this problem is getting worse with newer models besides the X1 chasing whatever reviewers liked about the X1 line.
I was baffled because none of the reviews mentioned it. Did they seriously not try anything demanding to run on it and not notice the problems? I spent nearly as much on it as my Mac and I somehow got something even slower than it. I just want a business class Linux laptop that doesn’t suck.
