Motorola has launched the Signature smartphone in India, marking its entry into the premium flagship space with the new Signature series. First unveiled at CES 2026, the phone is just 6.99mm thick, making it one of the slimmest flagship smartphones available, while still delivering high-end hardware.

The body uses aircraft-grade aluminum with a quad-curved design. Despite the thin profile, Motorola didn’t skip on durability. The phone has IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, surviving submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes and high-pressure water jets. It also meets MIL-STD-810H military standards. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects the front. Two color options are available: Martini Olive with a golden-green twill-inspired finish and Carbon with a navy blue linen texture, both curated by Pantone.
The camera system is the main attraction. Motorola claims this is the first phone with four 50MP cameras, earning a DXOMARK Gold Label. All sensors come from Sony’s LYTIA lineup. The main camera uses the 1/1.28-inch Sony LYT-828 sensor with f/1.6 aperture and OIS, Motorola’s largest sensor to date. It shoots 8K video at 30fps and 4K at 60fps with Dolby Vision support. The telephoto camera packs a 50MP periscope lens with the 1/1.56-inch Sony LYT-600 sensor, offering 3x optical zoom (71mm equivalent focal length) and 100x digital zoom through Super Zoom Pro. The ultrawide lens delivers a 122-degree field of view with autofocus and macro capabilities. Up front, the selfie camera uses the 1/2.93-inch Sony LYT-500 sensor with Quad Pixel technology and 4K video recording. Motorola’s AI Photo Enhancement Engine handles processing for noise reduction, color accuracy, and exposure.
The display measures 6.8 inches with 2780×1264 resolution. This AMOLED panel runs at up to 165Hz refresh rate and hits 6200 nits peak brightness. It supports Dolby Vision and carries Pantone validation.
Inside, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor runs on a 3nm process with CPU speeds reaching 3.8GHz, paired with an Adreno 840 GPU. RAM options include 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X, while storage comes in 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB configurations using UFS 4.1. A copper mesh liquid metal cooling system manages heat during gaming or video recording. Dual stereo speakers tuned by Bose support Dolby Atmos and Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless.
The battery capacity sits at 5200mAh using silicon-carbon technology, which offers higher energy density than standard lithium-ion cells. Charging tops out at 90W wired (Motorola claims a full day’s charge in 7 minutes), 50W wireless, and 10W reverse wireless charging.
Software arrives as Android 16 with a commitment to seven years of OS upgrades and security updates. The phone includes moto AI features with support for German, French, Polish, Romanian, Italian, and Japanese languages. Future updates will add white-glove assistance for travel and lifestyle services.
Additional features include an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, dual SIM support, USB Type-C with USB 3.2, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and 5G connectivity. The phone weighs 186 grams and measures 162.1 x 76.4 x 6.99mm.
