Motorola Signature review: DxO award-winning attack on Apple and Samsung

Name: Motorola Signature
Brand: Motorola

Premium exterior, almost always premium interior.

The Motorola Signature is one of the slimmest and lightest smartphones currently available. In the test, Motorola's new top model also impressed with its bright AMOLED display and the outstanding Sony LYTIA camera system, which ranked in the top 10 in the DxO camera test. Read the test to find out who still shouldn't buy the Signature.

Verdict on the Motorola Signature

The Motorola Signature is a very strong flagship smartphone, although it is not convincing in every area. The slim yet highly durable body, the very bright AMOLED screen, and the camera setup with its four 50 MP lenses are definitely first class. Combined with the 7-year update guarantee, you should be able to enjoy the Signature phone for a long time.

However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in Motorola's top model is not the most powerful SoC, and anyone who frequently uses the smartphone for gaming will likely be disappointed with the test device due to high heat generation. The battery also lags behind the competition. Although the noise levels are good, they are slightly below average by high-end standards.

Case - Top of the league both visually and haptically

Available in the Pantone colors Martini Olive (yellow-green) and Carbon (navy blue), the Motorola Signature features a curved design with an aluminum frame. The back cover finish of the olive model resembles cotton twill. The navy blue version has a linen-like texture.

At 186 grams, the Motorola Signature is lighter than many other top smartphones and measures just under 12 millimetres at its thickest point. It is protected against dust and water in accordance with IP68/69 and meets military robustness requirements under MIL-STD-810H standard. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is used for the display glass.

Features - Motorola Signature with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage

Regardless of the color variant, 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB UFS 4.1 memory are on board. There is also WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, dual SIM, a USB-C port with USB 3.2 Gen.1 and stereo speakers.

Software - Android 16 and updates until 2033

Motorola equips the Signature with Android 16 and leaves the Google OS virtually untouched. In addition to Moto AI, only a handful of third-party apps are installed, but these can be deleted. Motorola promises 7 years of updates.

Sustainability

The Motorola Signature comes in plastic-free packaging. It is printed with soy ink and is made from recycled materials in accordance with the FSC Mix certification. There is a lot to read about sustainability on Motorola's website. However, the manufacturer does not provide any information on the Signature's carbon footprint.

Spare parts and instructions for self-repair are available from Motorola's partner Replacebase. If you buy the Signature via the Motorola website, you can trade in a smartphone that you no longer need.

Communication and GNSS - WiFi 7 and WLAN speeds up to 1500 MBit/s

Thanks to its wide selection of LTE and 5G bands, the Motorola Signature should be able to receive a signal in practically any location.

Thanks to WiFi 7 support, the Motorola Signature can use the 6 GHz band on our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router and achieves quite stable transmission rates, which peak at around 1500 Mbps.

The Motorola Signature uses GPS, Glonass, and Galileo to determine its position well, but not quite as precisely as you would expect from a top smartphone.

The accuracy is sufficient for everyday use. In a direct comparison with the Garmin Venu 2 fitness smartwatch, however, the Motorola phone was slightly inaccurate in a few sections of our test round and sometimes built an imaginary loop.

Phone functions and voice quality

The Motorola Signature supports dual-SIM operation with nano-SIM and eSIM, and also offers VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. In the test, the smartphone delivered good voice quality and reproduced voices clearly and distinctly.

Camera - Four times 50 megapixels and Sony LYTIA image sensors

Motorola has equipped the Signature with four 50 MP lenses. There is one each in the main, ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto cameras, while number four serves as a selfie camera and does a good job of it.

Equipped with Sony LYTIA sensors, the quartet of cameras produces very good images in daylight that have excellent dynamic range, show a lot of detail, and reproduce colors very realistically. The main camera benefits from its large 1/1.28-inch sensor, which allows the Signature to take very nice pictures even at night.

The image quality also remains high with the ultra-wide-angle and telephoto cameras, although the former struggles with slight blurring at the edges of the image. The telephoto camera offers an optical 3x zoom and can digitally enlarge images by up to 100x, which then looks very artificial. Very good results can still be achieved at medium zoom levels up to around 5x.

The Motorola Signature records videos in very good quality with up to 8K at 24 frames per second. At 4K, 60 frames per second are possible.

Accessories and warranty - Protective cover included

The Motorola Signature comes with a USB-C cable, a protective cover, a SIM tool and a quick start guide.

Motorola offers a 24-month Warranty on the Signature.

Input devices and operation - Responsive display and AI button

The touchscreen is scanned up to 360 times per second. At the same time, it displays up to 165 Hz, resulting in very fast and precise operation. This also applies to the fingerprint sensor under the display.

Pressing the left button on the housing activates Moto AI. The button can also be deactivated, but cannot be assigned other functions.

Display - Reaches luminosities of up to 4500 nits

You can expect a lot from the display, because according to the specification, it should shine at up to 6200 nits. We did not achieve this in our measurements, but with up to 4500 nits in HDR, the screen still delivers a very high level of brightness. It also displays content very sharply.

For PWM-sensitive users, there is a Prevent Flicker switch in the display settings, which then uses DC-like dimming that works at 120 Hz in all brightness levels.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

120.2 Hz
Amplitude: 12 %

The display backlight flickers at 120.2 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 120.2 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7999 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Measurement series with fixed zoom level and different brightness settings (The amplitude curve at minimum brightness looks flat, but this is due to the scaling. The info box shows the enlarged version of the amplitude at minimum brightness)

The analysis of the AMOLED screen with the photospectrometer and Calman software shows only very small average DeltaE deviations. The color display can be set using three profiles. The color temperature can also be adjusted.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
1.1 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.6 ms rise
1.1 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.5 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 4 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.1 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
1.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.6 ms rise
1.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 5 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.4 ms).

The brightness and viewing angles are stable, so the screen can really come into its own outdoors. Even in sunny weather, there are no problems reading content.

Performance - Motorola Signature with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

In the Motorola Signature, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. This does not give you absolute top performance, but performance within sight of the high-end range. A MediaTek Dimensity 9500 or a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 develops significantly more performance. The UFS 4.1 memory keeps loading times short with its excellent data throughput.

The duet of Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and the Adreno 826 is responsible for the graphics calculations. With 42 frames per second in the GFXBench 4K Aztec Ruins benchmarks, the GPU proves that it can also run very graphically complex games smoothly. However, as in the CPU tests, it is not enough for a top spot here either.
