Summary
$1,600 buys Motorola’s new Signature 27 with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, 3x optical zoom and a 100x Super Zoom Pro feature.
90-watt wired charging and a 7,000-mAh silicon-carbon battery set it apart from Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max, which charge at 60 watts.
A Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip powers the 6.8-inch, 120Hz phone, which Motorola says can handle 8K video, high-end gaming and on-device AI.
Seven years of software and security updates, Android 17 AI features and Motorola’s Qira assistant position the device as a full flagship rather than a niche luxury model.
U.S. preorders open Nov. 19 and sales start Nov. 26, as Motorola targets premium buyers and former OnePlus users after that brand’s U.S. retreat.
