The image of the upcoming smartphone that was released on Twitter reveals the rear design of the ThinkPhone. It has a thick body with a textured back panel that curves into the frame of the device. It appears as though the frame is made of aluminium due to the presence of antenna lines. A red-coloured button can be seen on the side, but the company did not provide any additional information regarding what it does. The words “ThinkPhone by Motorola” are engraved around the bottom bezel of the device.
