This is a refresh of the pre-existing Signature handset. The big news? It features the <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/snapdragon-8-elite-extreme-gen-6-prototype-leak-packaging-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6<\/a> mobile processor. It&#8217;s one of the first phones to use Qualcomm&#8217;s latest and greatest mobile SoC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a flagship model that Motorola is calling &#8220;the most advanced smartphone&#8221; it has ever created. There&#8217;s some Bang &amp; Olufsen speakers, and\u00a0an upgraded cooling system to ensure the components don&#8217;t get too hot.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The primary camera looks to be relatively unchanged, as it uses a 50MP Sony Lytia 910 sensor. However, the telephoto lens has gotten a major boost, up to 200MP from 50MP.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Signature 27 runs Android 17, with a promise of seven years of OS upgrades, and provides access to plenty of Gemini-adjacent AI tools. This includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2176590\/googles-gemini-omni-can-generate-anything-from-any-input-starting-with-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">video generator Omni<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/googles-lyria-3-pro-can-now-generate-ai-music-slop-up-to-3-minutes-in-length-172738752.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">music generator Lyria<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There&#8217;s plenty we don&#8217;t know here, including display specs. Motorola hasn&#8217;t announced an actual release date, saying it&#8217;s &#8220;expected to come to markets worldwide in 2026.&#8221; We also don&#8217;t know the price. The previous model costs anywhere from $800 to $1,200 or so, depending on the configuration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We do know that this won&#8217;t be the last Motorola product to feature audio by Bang &amp; Olufsen. The companies just announced a multi-year partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It also has Bang &amp; Olufsen speakers.
