Motorola's new Signature 27 has it all if you can stomach the $1,600 price tag

Motorola is patching a hole in its US lineup with a non-folding flagship phone, but the pricing puts this device dangerously close to the company's expensive tablet-style foldable . The long-rumored Motorola Signature 27 is real, featuring top-of-the-line specs, a super-bright OLED screen, and a ton of cameras. But all this high-end hardware won't come cheap in the age of AI. Motorola's new flagship smartphone will run a whopping $1,600 when it arrives later this month. The Signature 27 is a completely new take on flagship smartphones from Motorola, leaving behind the middling legacy of the Edge series. However, you'll still immediately clock this as a Motorola device due to its distinctive use of materials and Pantone colors. The phone is metal, ceramic, and glass, but the backs are textured polycarbonate. The device comes in Coal Smoke (black) or Capulet Olive (green) colors. The former has a "tactical weave" finish inspired by automotive design, and the latter is "textile-inspired." This device will include the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, the most powerful mobile chip Qualcomm offers right now. While some smartphones have flirted with 16GB of memory, that's less common these days. The Signature 27 will have 12GB like Samsung's base model flagships. However, there's not going to be an upgrade option for more. You will, however, get a generous 512GB of storage.
