Motorola confirmed at India Mobile Congress 2026 that the Signature 27 will launch in India alongside its global debut, with an unofficial price estimate near Rs 1 lakh that the company has not confirmed.
The phone targets the top of the market. It uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, a 200MP periscope camera and audio by Bang & Olufsen, and Motorola has promised seven years of OS and security updates.
The long update promise is a notable selling point in a segment where buyers often keep phones for years, and it addresses a common concern about value for money.
Motorola has not announced the date or final specifications, so buyers will need to wait for the official launch.
Price estimates close to Rs 1 lakh have been reported, but these are speculation and not an official figure.
Some outlets said Motorola launched the phone at the event, while others say it was only showcased, so the launch itself is not yet complete.
The phone uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, according to The Mobile Indian.
It comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage, according to the same report.
The display is 6.8 inches, with a resolution of 2780 x 1264 pixels, according to The Mobile Indian.
The main camera is a 50MP Sony LYTIA 910 sensor, paired with a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, according to the reports.
The spec table in The Mobile Indian also lists a second 50MP rear camera and a 50MP front camera.
The battery is listed at 6,000mAh, according to The Mobile Indian, and this figure is from that report alone.
The phone runs Android 17, with Google Gemini integrated into the software experience, according to the reports.
Motorola has committed to seven years of Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, according to the reports.
