I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger...
This is a business-oriented phone. No business is that quick to jump on upgrades outside of essential security updates.

Should be perfectly fine to snap pictures of normal situations during the day.

Would only have 3 updates to Android 14,15,16 in contrast to
4 updates of the OnePlus 11 and 7 updates of the all Google Pixel 8.
Another 2023 phone that is also using the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is the Nothing Phone 2
which would also have 3 updates for $160 more.
I would easily pick ThinkPhone over Nothing Phone 2.
Both the OnePlus 11 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) and Pixel 8 (non-Pro with Tensor G3) 128GB options are only $150 more and they seem like a better deal than Nothing Phone 2.
Add another $50+ for 256GB.
The Google Pixel 8 cameras tested better than the OnePlus 11 even with 2X Telephoto.
If you mainly do photos and videos i.e. Instagram models, they might be the better option.
Therefore a $400 Thinkphone seems just reasonable.

"Your phone supports an optional microSD card up to 1 TB.
A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient"
While it's true that 90% of makers have abandoned external storage, it's one of the big reasons that I have bought Motorola for my last 5 phones

So I'm on the fence whether this would be a worthwhile upgrade (going through the return and new phone set up hassles and if the camera would be as good as the S21+) since it would be essentially at no cost. Opinions?

Because of the odd way that slickdeals on the PC now collapses responses to comments by default (essentially burying your response), you might consider editing your responses about it definitely having a micro sd card slot, so that others won't be misled. Not that it's your mistake, it's Motorola's mistake for lumping together instructions for all variants and wording it like you quoted.
