Motorola Signature 27 launched with 200MP telephoto, 7,000mAh battery, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
Amid the growing buzz around flagship smartphones, Motorola has introduced a new contender, the Motorola Signature 27. The latest flagship brings several major upgrades, including a tandem AMOLED display, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, and a massive 7,000mAh battery. It also introduces new features such as a dedicated EVS action sensor and GrapheneOS support.
An ultra bright tandem AMOLED display
The Motorola Signature 27 features an 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED Duo display with Tandem technology. This technology combines two light-emitting layers in a single panel to deliver higher brightness while consuming less power. The display offers a 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision support, and a claimed peak brightness of up to 12,000 nits.
Ceramic and glass build with flagship level protection
In terms of design and durability, the Motorola Signature 27 combines ceramic and glass materials with an aluminium frame. The device uses Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 protection and carries IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance ratings. It also meets MIL-STD-810H durability standards.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen6 with GrapheneOS support
Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. Motorola has also upgraded its ArcticMesh cooling system, featuring a cooling chamber that is 40% larger than the one used in last year’s Signature. This should help the phone maintain stable performance during demanding gaming sessions and intensive workloads. The Motorola Signature 27 starts with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
Software and privacy are another major focus. The Signature 27 is the first Motorola smartphone to support GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused version of Android. It also comes with Google Gemini integration and a commitment to seven years of operating system updates.
200MP periscope camera with 100x Super Zoom
For photography, the Motorola Signature 27 features a triple rear camera setup. It includes a 50MP Sony LYTIA primary sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with up to 100x Super Zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. On the front, the phone features a 50MP selfie camera with support for 4K video recording.
One of the notable additions is a dedicated EVS (Event-Based Vision Sensor), which Motorola claims is the first of its kind on a smartphone. It is designed to capture fast-moving subjects with greater sharpness, helping users get clearer shots of action scenes and moving objects.
7,000mAh battery with 90W charging
The Motorola Signature 27 packs a 7,000mAh battery, representing a 35% capacity increase over the previous generation. It supports 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
Bang & Olufsen audio system and connectivity
For audio, Motorola has partnered with Bang & Olufsen to tune the phone’s sound system. The Signature 27 is the only smartphone to carry the “Audio by B&O” branding, according to the company. It also introduces a new speaker setup and dedicated Sound Modes for an improved audio experience. Other connectivity features include six antennas, Wi-Fi 8 compatibility, USB-C, and NFC. Motorola also introduced exclusive moto accessories that serves several purposes for users.
