Weekly Poll: Will You Buy the Motorola Signature?

Motorola has been pretty inconsistent with flagship releases: its Edge series has had an Ultra model in some years but not in others. Now it introduces the Signature line to serve the premium market and the first model is quite interesting.

The Motorola Signature isn’t a flagship, but it costs a lot less than those – you can buy a 12/512GB drive for £900/€1,000 in Europe. Something like the vivo X300 Pro will cost you 400 euros more, even the OnePlus 15 costs 1,000 euros.

The Signature is a fairly thin and light device, measuring 7.0mm and weighing 186g. While many don’t care for thin phones, the lightweight design is nice: it’s 47g lighter than an iPhone 17 Pro Max despite having a larger 5,200mAh battery. Plus, this is paired with 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, which is way above what Apple, Google, and Samsung will offer this year.

The phone features a 6.8″ LTPO display (165Hz, 1264p+) with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader at the bottom. It has a fast USB-C 3.1 Gen2 port with DisplayPort 1.4 to boot, so it can connect to external displays too.

Here are the two areas where the Signature doesn’t exactly match the top of the line: the chipset and the camera. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (not Elite), which slots below last year’s Elite, not to mention the Elite Gen 5. However, it’s not a slow chip by any means.

As for the cameras, the phone has four 50 MP modules. The main camera has a large 1/1.28″ sensor (Sony LYT-828), there’s a 3x/71mm telephoto lens with a decent-sized 1/1.95″ sensor, and there’s also a 122° ultra-wide-angle camera. The fourth module is the 21mm selfie camera with f/2.0 autofocus lens. Not Ultra-level cameras, but these are larger sensors than the OnePlus 15’s.

Motorola’s Hello UI is quite good, and Smart Connect (formerly Ready For) offers a desktop mode. The phone is set for 7 years of operating system updates.
