Motorola’s recent partnership with Microsoft brings new functions to the red button accessible when a user signs into their Teams account. Users can now connect their ThinkPhone to an external display and work effortlessly from their smartphone. Here is everything you need to know about the new features that this partnership brings along.

Details on the Motorola & Microsoft partnership for the ThinkPhone

The ThinkPhone made its entry into the smartphone market back in January. This device was made by Motorola for Lenovo as part of the brand’s Think Productivity line-up. Asides from its impressive specifications, this device comes with a ton of security features unique to Lenovo Think products.

Additionally, this device comes with an iconic red button that is notable within the Lenovo Think series. This button is customizable, and users of the ThinkPhone can set it to pull up any function they wish to quickly access. But with the Motorola and Microsoft partnership, a more productive function is coming to the red button.

Now, users can quickly access their Microsoft Teams account by pressing this button. This will enable them to work on their smartphone more freely at the tap of a button. Having their Teams account on their ThinkPhone will enable users to work with more flexibility wherever they find themselves.

To emulate the working environment, ThinkPhone users can connect their phones to a display via a USB-C cable. This will help them work using the larger display while relying on their Teams account signed in on their smartphone. While this flexible style of working might seem like a threat to the team’s security, the ThinkPhone has top-notch security features.

With this partnership, the ThinkPhone will become more productive for users. This is a new way to work, and Motorola is looking out to teams around the world to work freely. What do you think about the Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola and this new productivity feature?
