Motorola's new $1,600 smartphone holds nothing back, and it supports GrapheneOS
The Motorola Signature 27 seems to have everything
Motorola has unveiled its latest smartphone, the Signature 27, along with the Moto Watch Fit 27 and Moto Buds Ultra 27 at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit. Priced at $1,600, the Signature 27 is a powerhouse device, lacking a foldable design. Motorola claims it's the best camera they've ever placed in a smartphone, which appears to be accurate even before seeing it in person.
The phone boasts a 50MP Sony LYTIA L910 main sensor, and the entire camera system has received the DXOMARK Gold Label award. The camera suite includes a 50MP ultra-wide sensor and a 200MP 3x zoom periscope lens. Motorola promises a 100x Super Zoom, powered by advanced AI, although its effectiveness is yet to be seen. The OLED display is no ordinary OLED; it's Extreme AMOLED, offering up to 12,000 nits peak brightness through a 120Hz tandem OLED panel.
The exact resolution remains undisclosed. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, Qualcomm's most potent smartphone chip yet. The Signature 27 will be available for $1,599.99, purchasable unlocked from Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy starting November 26. A more affordable option, the Moto Watch Fit 27, a rectangular smartwatch with Polar fitness and wellness insights, will apparently last up to 12 days on a single charge.
Lastly, the Moto Buds Ultra 27, Motorola's top-tier earbuds, feature Bose QuietControl ANC technology. Specific pricing and availability for the Moto Watch Fit 27 and Moto Buds Ultra 27 are yet to be announced, with Motorola promising to provide updates in the coming months.
