The phone will be available exclusively in the US at launch, with pre-orders opening November 19 through Motorola, Amazon and Best Buy, and unlocked sales beginning November 26, according to Android Authority. The single US configuration carries 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, according to The Gadgeteer.
The headline feature is the camera system. The main camera is a 50MP Sony LYTIA L910 sensor with optical stabilisation, while the periscope telephoto uses a 200MP sensor offering 3x optical zoom and up to 100x with AI-assisted Super Zoom Pro, according to The Gadgeteer. The system carries a DXOMARK Gold Label for image quality, with an overall DXOMARK camera score of 173, the highest the lab has given any phone launched in 2026, according to the same report.
Power comes from a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, 35 percent larger than the cell in the previous Signature generation, with 90W wired charging, according to Android Authority. The phone runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, making it one of the first phones to use the new processor, according to the same report.
The 6.8-inch AMOLED display is one Motorola calls the brightest available in any phone shipping today, according to The Gadgeteer. The phone is also Motorola's first built to support GrapheneOS, the hardened Android-based operating system, according to the same report.
Motorola promises seven years of Android updates for the Signature 27, according to Android Authority.
