Motorola Signature 27 is now fully official with a 7,000 mAh battery and a dedicated action sensor

Followingan initial announcementin September, Motorola has been teasing theSignature 27for a while now, having alreadyconfirmed Bang & Olufsen audioandshown it off in a hands-on promo video. Today, the successor to theoriginal Signatureis finally fully official, and the battery size is no longer a mystery: it's 7,000 mAh, which is 35% larger than the predecessor's. The Signature 27 comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K "Extreme AMOLED Duo" screen, which uses a tandem panel with two emissive layers, along with a 120Hz refresh rate and 12,000 nits of peak brightness (at 1% average pixel level, of course). Motorola says the panel is up to 34% more energy efficient and lasts up to 121% longer than the original Signature's regular AMOLED. Motorola Signature 27 in Pantone Coal Smoke

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset is at the helm, with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. It's cooled by what Motorola calls ArcticMesh, which pairs a thermal gel infused with micro-diamonds with an 8,384 mm² vapor chamber that's 40% larger than the predecessor's. On the back you get a 50MP main camera with Sony's Lytia 910 sensor, LOFIC technology, an f/1.6 aperture, and OIS, a 200MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and up to 100x "Super Zoom Pro", and a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus and a 122-degree field of view. There's also what Motorola says is the first dedicated EVS (Event Vision Sensor) action sensor on a smartphone. It detects pixel-level changes in light intensity, separately from the other cameras, and works with the Action Shot feature to freeze fast-moving subjects. The rear cameras can record 8K video at 30fps and 4K at up to 120fps with Dolby Vision, and the 50MP selfie camera has autofocus and 4K recording. Motorola Signature 27 in Pantone Capulet Olive

The phone measures 162.01x77.04x7.99mm and weighs 227g, so it's noticeably thicker and heavier than the 7mm, 186g original. It has an aluminum frame, a ceramic and glass build with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, IP68/IP69 ratings, and MIL-STD-810H compliance.
