After a long wait, Motorola has finally introduced its new premium smartphone, the Motorola Signature, in India. The phone made its global debut just yesterday and was announced for the Indian market today. With a powerful processor, stylish design, and camera-focused approach, this phone clearly targets users who want something truly high-end and future-ready.
Powerful Performance With Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
When it comes to performance, Motorola Signature does not hold back at all. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 octa-core processor, making it only the second smartphone in India to use this flagship chipset.
Built on advanced 3nm fabrication, this processor can run at clock speeds between 3.32GHz and 3.8GHz, which means smooth multitasking, faster gaming, and better power efficiency. Whether you are playing heavy games, editing videos, or switching between apps, the phone is designed to feel fast and responsive at all times.
Android 16 With Long-Term Updates
Motorola Signature runs on Android 16 out of the box, and this is where the company has surprised everyone. Motorola is offering seven generations of Android OS upgrades along with seven years of security updates. With this commitment, the phone is already future-ready and expected to receive updates all the way up to Android 23.
Quad 50MP Camera Setup Steals the Show
The camera is the biggest highlight of the Motorola Signature. The phone features four cameras, and all of them are 50-megapixel sensors. On the front, there is a 50MP Sony LYT500 selfie camera placed in a punch-hole design. It supports Quad Pixel technology and can record videos in 4K, making it great for selfies, video calls, and content creation.
On the back, the phone offers a triple camera setup. The main camera is a 50MP Sony LYT828 sensor with OIS for sharper and more stable photos. Along with it, there is a 50MP periscope telephoto lens that supports 3x optical zoom and up to 100x super zoom. The third camera is a 50MP ultra-wide lens with a 122-degree field of view, perfect for landscapes and group shots.
Bright and Smooth AMOLED Display
Motorola Signature features a large 6.8-inch Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2780 x 1264 pixels. It uses an Extreme AMOLED panel that supports a 165Hz refresh rate and delivers up to 6200 nits of peak brightness. Watching videos, playing games, or simply browsing feels premium and immersive on this display.
Premium Build With Strong Protection
The phone is built with a military-grade MIL-STD-810H certified body, which adds extra durability. It also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering strong protection against dust and water. Motorola has used an aircraft-grade aluminum frame for a solid feel, while the display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Despite all this protection, the phone remains impressively slim, with a thickness of just 6.99mm, giving it a sleek and premium look in hand.
Battery and Charging Experience
Motorola Signature packs a 5200mAh silicon-carbon battery. While some users may feel this is smaller compared to phones offering bigger batteries at lower prices, Motorola claims that the phone can deliver up to 52 hours of backup on a full charge.
To make up for battery size, the phone supports 90W TurboPower fast charging, which can provide a full day’s backup with just 7 minutes of charging. It also supports 50W wireless charging, adding convenience for users who prefer a cable-free experience.
Overall, Motorola Signature is a bold step into the ultra-premium segment, combining performance, camera quality, long software support, and premium design in one device.
