Motorola unveiled the Signature 27, a high-end smartphone featuring a 200-megapixel camera and 90-watt charging capabilities. The device is set to launch on November 19, with a starting price of $1,599.
The Signature 27 boasts a 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED display with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, capable of reaching a peak brightness of 12,000 nits, making it one of the brightest smartphone displays ever.
Motorola has partnered with Bang & Olufsen to provide premium audio quality, and the device includes a 7,000mAh battery, rated for up to 77 hours of use per charge.

What this adds
Motorola's partnership with Bang & Olufsen is the first of many, as the companies announced a multi-year partnership last month.

What's confirmed
- During the event, motorola said it is positioning the Signature 27 as its most flagship smartphone yet.
- Not to be overshadowed by recent smartphone launches from Google, Samsung, and Apple, Motorola formally announced its own new flagship Thursday: the Signature 27.
- (It stacks two OLED panels on top of one another, just like Apple does in its iPad Pro and new touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro.) With a rated peak brightness of 12,000 nits (not a typo), the Signature 27's display should be the brightest we've ever seen on a smartphone by far.
- According to our sister site CNET, the Signature S27 will launch in the U.S. on Nov. 26.
- It has a massive 7,000mAh battery, and Motorola rated it for up to 77 hours of use per charge.
What's still developing
- Motorola is patching a hole in its US lineup with a non-folding flagship phone, but the pricing puts this device dangerously close to the company’s expensive tablet-style foldable.
- The Signature 27 is a new take on flagship smartphones from Motorola, leaving behind the middling legacy of the Edge series.
- However, you’ll still immediately clock this as a Motorola device due to its distinctive use of materials and Pantone colors.
- But all this high-end hardware won’t come cheap in the age of AI.
- The Signature 27 will have 12GB like Samsung’s base model flagships.
- The long-rumored Motorola Signature 27 is real, featuring top-of-the-line specs, a super-bright OLED screen, and a ton of cameras.
- There’s still no official price, battery capacity, or charging specification—and those details could make or break the phone’s appeal.
- An early hands-on preview by YouTuber Danny Winget, produced in collaboration with Motorola, offers the clearest picture yet of the upcoming phone.
- These figures come from Motorola’s announcements and authorized preview.
- Likewise, the company is maintaining and expanding the lineup with the Signature 27.
- Qualcomm also made an announcement regarding the newest chipsets that are going to power a new wave of flagships, including the Signature 27.
- Motorola's new Signature 27 has one of the fastest wired charging speeds we've seen for a US phone.
