Motorola's New Signature 27 Smartphone Aims to Set a Higher Flagship Standard

Motorola says the flagship adds a first-of-its-kind motion sensor, 7,000mAh battery and Bang & Olufsen audio to target the premium market.

  • Motorola announced the Signature 27 at $1,599 on Thursday, with U.S. preorders opening November 19 and sales beginning November 26 through Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy.
  • Initially previewed at September's Snapdragon Summit, the device positions Motorola to compete directly against premium slab phones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at the same $1,599 price point.
  • The handset features a 6.8-inch "Extreme AMOLED Duo" display claiming 12,000 nits peak brightness, a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, and an ArcticMesh cooling system with a 40% larger vapor chamber.
  • Integrating Bang & Olufsen-tuned audio and promising seven years of OS updates, the Signature 27 supports GrapheneOS, marking Motorola's first mainstream device targeting privacy-conscious power users.
  • Equipped with Gemini Intelligence for contextual tasks, the phone includes a dedicated "EVS action sensor" designed to capture fast-moving subjects with greater clarity than traditional software-only processing.
