Motorola Signature 27 goes official with true flagship specs and a $1,599 price tag

Motorola has returned to the flagship smartphone market with the launch of the Signature 27, available for pre-order today. This device is no ordinary phone – it boasts top-tier specifications that rival even the most powerful international offerings. Sporting a whopping 7,000 mAh battery, the Signature 27 charges at a blistering 90W with its unique silicon-carbon battery technology.

Wireless charging reaches 50W, though it slows to 15W on other devices. The phone is compatible with GrapheneOS and features an innovative "ArcticMesh" cooling system infused with diamond-infused thermal gel. Motorola's signature Tandem OLED display is 34% more energy-efficient and boasts a lifespan 121% longer than conventional OLED panels.

Bang & Olufsen has tuned the speakers, a first for Motorola outside of the Pixel brand. Powered by Android 17, the phone promises a 7-year software lifecycle, including Gemini Intelligence features like Gboard Rambler, "Create My Widget," app automation, and Sign-To-Text ASL translation. The camera setup is equally impressive, with a 50MP main sensor from Sony Lytia L910, along with two 50MP sensors for ultrawide and front-facing shots, and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera offering up to 100x hybrid zoom.

Priced at $1,599 for the 512GB/12GB variant, the Signature 27 debuts in the US on November 19, and pre-orders begin today. This premium offering, available in "Coal Smoke" and "Capulet Olive" colors, also comes with a free Moto Watch Ultra and a year of the "motocare" extended warranty. The phone is set to arrive unlocked in the US, but Motorola has not yet announced carrier partnerships.
