Motorola has launched a new premium smartphone, the Signature, at CES 2026. The company’s new flagship smartphone comes with a well-rounded specs sheet, including a 165 Hz AMOLED panel, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, triple 50 MP rear cameras, and a 5,200 mAh battery with 90 W wired, 50 W wireless, 10 W reverse wireless, and 5 W reverse wired charging support.

Motorola has also entered into the flagship smartphone market with its latest Signature smartphone. This is the brand’s first phone in the Signature series, and it comes with some serious camera specs. Alongside the Signature, Motorola also announced the Razr Fold, the Razr 60 FIFA Edition, the Sound Flow, the Moto Watch, and the Moto Tag 2 at CES 2026. 

The Motorola Signature features a slick design, measuring just 6.99 mm (0.27 inch) in thickness and weighing around 186 grams (0.41 lbs). Available in Pantone Martini Olive with a twill-inspired finish or Pantone Carbon with a linen-inspired finish, the smartphone comes with an aluminum frame. As for the panel, it has a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that outputs at a resolution of 2780 x 1264 pixels with a 165 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 6,200 nits. 

The panel supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space. Furthermore, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage with no option for storage expansion. Despite its slim form factor, Motorola has managed to squeeze in a 5,200 mAh silicon-carbon battery (rated for 1,200 charging cycles) into the Signature. It supports 90 W wired, 50 W wireless, 10 W reverse wireless, and 5 W reverse wired charging. 

Besides the powerful chipset, the phone comes with a capable rear camera setup too. It features a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50 MP LYT-828 OIS-enabled primary camera, a 50 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom support. Upfront, there’s also a 50 MP snapper with autofocus for capturing selfies and video chats. 

Moreover, it runs Android 16 out of the box, and the company promises a total of seven Android OS upgrades and seven years of security patches. That means you’re getting solid software update support from Motorola. Other notable features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, an IP69/IP68 water resistance rating, MIL-STD-810H certification, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. 

The Motorola Signature is now available for purchase in Europe for €999/£899 via Motorola's official website. There’s no word on US availability from the brand yet.
