Motorola has officially unveiled the Signature 27, an ultra-flagship smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. The handset carries a steep price tag, selling for $1,599 in the United States, €1,899 in the European Union, and £1,299.99 in the United Kingdom. US buyers get an unlocked model with 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage and 12GB of RAM, with pre-orders beginning in November ahead of a full release later in the month. [1][5][2][4]
The phone features a 6.8-inch tandem AMOLED display that reaches a claimed peak brightness of 12,000 nits. Powering the hardware is a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery compatible with 90W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The rear camera system pairs a 50MP Sony Lytia L910 main sensor with a 50MP ultrawide lens, a 200MP periscope zoom lens, and a dedicated EVS action sensor engineered to freeze fast-moving subjects. It ships with Android 17, seven years of planned software updates, IP68 and IP69 ratings, and compatibility with GrapheneOS. [5][3][2][4]
With prices matching or topping rivals like Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max and Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, the release marks a deliberate pivot away from Motorola's traditional focus on affordable devices into the highest tier of the smartphone market. [3][4]
Motorola is officially back in the flagship space, with its new Signature 27 phone available for pre-order starting today, but it’ll cost a pretty penny.
