What Motorola claims

In its official press release, Motorola describes the camera system as the best launched in 2026, with a DXOMARK Gold Label and a ranking above all the other Android and iOS devices evaluated by DXOMARK. These are the company’s own claims.³ The company also talks about the brightest display available on a smartphone and the only phone on the market with Bang & Olufsen audio. For the panel, it cites up to 34% higher energy efficiency and up to 121% longer lifespan compared with traditional AMOLEDs.³ Among the camera features, it mentions zoom of up to 100x and a sensor dedicated to moving subjects, described as the first of its kind on a smartphone. The phone is also designed for Gemini Intelligence, Google’s artificial intelligence services.³

What is GrapheneOS?

Motorola describes GrapheneOS as a mobile operating system focused on privacy and security. The Signature 27 is its first device to support it.³ The preinstalled system remains Android 17, so GrapheneOS is a supported option and not the standard setup.²

Price, colors and market launch

The price starts at 1,399 euros for the base configuration. There are two colors, PANTONE Coal Smoke and PANTONE Capulet Olive. The phone will reach the market in the coming months.² At the same time, Motorola also launched two accessories: the moto buds 2 ultra earbuds, with a starting price of 199.90 euros, and the moto watch 2 fit watch, which starts at 99.90 euros.²

What changes

Support for GrapheneOS is a choice that Motorola highlights among the main features of the Signature 27, alongside the processor, display and cameras.²³
